4PDA MCP
MCP server exposing the 4PDA forum lofi (text) version without a
browser. Uses impit to pass Cloudflare's TLS
challenge.
Why lofi?
The lofi/text version is ~50x smaller than the full page and has stable, simple
markup — ideal for LLM consumption. The full version (?act=idx, ?showforum=,
?showtopic=) is JS-heavy and Cloudflare-gated.
URL conventions (discovered)
4PDA changed the lofi entry. lofiversion/index.php?index.html now 404s. The
live format is:
lofiversion/index.php?f{forum_id}.html— a forum page (subforums + topics list)lofiversion/index.php?t{topic_id}.html— topic page 1lofiversion/index.php?t{topic_id}-{offset}.html— topic page N, step 20index.php?act=idx— full index, used only to enumerate top categories
The pinned header post repeats on every topic page; this server drops it on page ≥ 2.
Tools
list_forums(forum_id?)— top categories whenforum_idomitted, else the subforums (and topics summary) of a forum as a flat list. Returns a tree the client can nest.list_topics(forum_id)— topics in a forum: id, title, replies, is_important.list_posts(topic_id, page=1)— posts on a page: author, date, html (with internal links rewritten to lofi where possible). Header post dropped on page ≥ 2.
Run
pip install -e .
4pda-mcp # stdio MCP server
# or: mcp run src/fourpda_mcp/server.py
No browser, no auth needed (read-only public content). impit impersonates Chrome to clear Cloudflare.
