us/crw is a Rust web scraper, crawler, and search API that turns web pages into Markdown or structured JSON, and also provides an MCP server for AI agents. It is for collecting web content through scraping, site crawling, URL discovery, web search, and structured extraction, either as a local binary or managed service. The catalogue add-ons connect coding agents to its API and MCP server.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what crw tells them →
