karon-mcp 1.8.4

Karon API MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. Retrieve web content from MCP-compatible tools.

karon-mcp

MCP server for the Karon API.

Karon MCP 1.8.4 exposes two tools:

• browse(url, output_format="markdown", readability=True) - retrieve one URL as markdown, text, or HTML. If the first upstream attempt is blocked or returns empty content, it retries once automatically.
• credits() - show account credit and tier information.

Field-based JSON output is available through the Karon API directly, not this MCP package.

Agent guidance

Use one single URL for one user intent. For threads or listing pages, prefer the original page or one aggregate endpoint before requesting child URLs. Avoid fan-out across child item APIs unless the user explicitly asks for multiple individual URLs.

For Hacker News threads, prefer https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/{id} or the HN item page instead of repeated Firebase child item requests.

Install

uvx karon-mcp

or:

pip install karon-mcp

Configuration
