Clearcrawl MCP

An MCP server for Clearcrawl, a pay-per-call API built for AI agents:

  • read_url: turns any public URL into clean markdown or structured JSON (title, author, date, text, links, tables). Ads, menus and footers are stripped. PDF URLs are converted automatically.
  • convert_file: turns a PDF, XLSX/XLS/CSV or DOCX (by URL or local path) into text and tables (per-page text, sheet rows and records, markdown tables).

Free tier: 100 calls a day with no signup. Paid: 1 credit = $0.001; read_url costs 2 credits and convert_file costs 3 per page. Credit packs start at $5 for 5,000 credits.

Option 1: remote (no install)

Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://agentreader.onrender.com/clearcrawl/mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "clearcrawl": { "url": "https://agentreader.onrender.com/clearcrawl/mcp" } } }

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http clearcrawl https://agentreader.onrender.com/clearcrawl/mcp For paid credits, add the header Authorization: Bearer <your key>.

Option 2: local stdio

{ "mcpServers": { "clearcrawl": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:clearcrawl/clearcrawl-mcp"], "env": { "CLEARCRAWL_API_KEY": "" } } } }

The local mode can also convert files from your disk (convert_file with path).

Getting an API key

POST https://agentreader.onrender.com/v1/credits/checkout {"pack":"ar_pack_5"} returns a Stripe Checkout URL. Once you pay, the success page shows your key. Full docs: https://agentreader.onrender.com/llms.txt

Notes

  • Clearcrawl runs on a free host, so the first call after it has been idle can take about a minute.
  • Limits: public http(s) URLs only, 15 MB max, no JavaScript rendering or OCR yet.

MIT licensed (this client). The Clearcrawl API itself is a hosted service.

Pairs well with LinkPreflight, our sister brand: preflight a URL with LinkPreflight, then extract it with Clearcrawl.
