Quick Answer

CrawlForge MCP is an enterprise web scraping platform purpose-built for AI engineers who need reliable, structured data for RAG systems, model training, and intelligent agents. It replaces brittle custom scrapers with 26 specialized tools exposed natively over the Model Context Protocol.

Welcome to CrawlForge

We're excited to introduce CrawlForge MCP - a comprehensive web scraping platform designed specifically for AI engineers and developers building intelligent applications.

Why We Built CrawlForge

Modern AI applications need reliable, structured data from the web. Whether you're building RAG systems, training models, or creating intelligent agents, web data is essential. But traditional scraping tools are complex, unreliable, and not designed for AI workflows.

CrawlForge changes that.

What Makes CrawlForge Different

26 Specialized Tools

We've built 26 purpose-built tools for different scraping scenarios:

  • Basic Tools: fetch_url, extract_text, extract_links, extract_metadata
  • Extraction Tools: scrape_structured, extract_content, map_site, process_document
  • Advanced Tools: search_web, crawl_deep, batch_scrape, deep_research
  • And more: stealth_mode, localization, analyze_content, summarize_content

Credit-Based Pricing

Pay only for what you use. Each tool costs 1-10 credits based on complexity:

  • Simple fetches: 1 credit
  • Structured scraping: 2 credits
  • Browser automation: 5 credits
  • Deep research: 10 credits

Start with 1,000 free credits - no credit card required.

Built for Developers

  • RESTful API: Simple HTTP requests, no SDKs required
  • Comprehensive docs: Clear examples in cURL, TypeScript, Python
  • Generous rate limits: Scale from prototype to production
  • Real-time analytics: Track usage and optimize costs

Getting Started

  1. Sign up for a free account at crawlforge.dev
  2. Create an API key in your dashboard
  3. Make your first request:
Bash

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

That's it! You're scraping.
