wet-mcp 2.1.0

Open-source MCP Server thay thế Tavily - Web search, extract, crawl với SearXNG

WET - Web ExTract MCP Server

Open-source MCP Server replacing Tavily for web scraping & multimodal extraction

Zero-install experience: just uvx wet-mcp - automatically setups and manages SearXNG container.

Features

Feature	Description
Web Search	Search via SearXNG (metasearch: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave)
Content Extract	Extract clean content (Markdown/Text/HTML)
Deep Crawl	Crawl multiple pages from a root URL with depth control
Site Map	Discover website URL structure
Media	List and download images, videos, audio files
Anti-bot	Stealth mode bypasses Cloudflare, Medium, LinkedIn, Twitter

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker daemon running (for SearXNG)
• Python 3.13+ (or use uvx)

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / Antigravity:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wet": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wet-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That's it! When the MCP client calls wet-mcp for the first time:

1. Automatically installs Playwright chromium
2. Automatically pulls SearXNG Docker image
3. Starts wet-searxng container
4. Runs the MCP server

Without uvx

pip install wet-mcp
wet-mcp
