Overview

What is Web Cat API?

Web Cat API is a collection of Python-based APIs that includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for web search and content extraction. It integrates with Serper.dev for search capabilities and uses the readability library to extract clean text from web pages, making it easy to feed web content into AI models.

How to use Web Cat API?

Run the MCP server via Docker with docker run -p 8000:8000 -e SERPER_API_KEY=your_key tmfrisinger/webcat:latest. You can also set a custom port or configure rate limiting via environment variables.

Key features of Web Cat API

Content extraction using the readability library
Web search integrated with Serper.dev
MCP-compliant with both SSE streaming and REST endpoints
Configurable rate limiting and API versioning
Docker support for simple deployment

Use cases of Web Cat API

Enable AI models to search the web and extract clean text content
Integrate real‑time web data into Custom GPTs and other AI applications
Process web pages for text and image content extraction

Frequently asked questions
