  • Crawl an entire site / many pages

Once installed, try asking your AI

Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected

  • β€Ίβ€œCrawl this docs site and compile everything into one Markdown file”
  • β€Ίβ€œScrape the titles and summaries of the latest 10 posts from this blog”
