Clearcrawl MCP
An MCP server for Clearcrawl, a pay-per-call API built for AI agents:
- readurl**: turns any public URL into clean markdown or structured JSON (title, author, date, text, links, tables). Ads, menus and footers are stripped. PDF URLs are converted automatically.
- convertfile**: turns a PDF, XLSX/XLS/CSV or DOCX (by URL or local path) into text and tables (per-page text, sheet rows and records, markdown tables).
Free tier: 100 calls a day with no signup. Paid: 1 credit = $0.001; readurl costs 2 credits and convertfile costs 3 per page. Credit packs start at $5 for 5,000 credits.
