🚰 KitchenSink4Web Community Edition

Landing page · llms.txt (machine-readable capability manifest for agents and LLM crawlers)

Read websites and extract data with your AI assistant, read-only by default, with clicking and typing when you allow it.

Read websites and pull out the data you need from Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI or any other MCP client that runs local tools. KitchenSink4Web drives a browser on your computer, returns a page within a size budget and says what it left unread, and exports tables to CSV or JSON. It starts read-only; clicking, typing and form filling are switched on only when you choose. Websites receive ordinary browsing requests; what reaches your AI provider is decided by your AI app. The Community edition is free under the AGPL. The Business edition adds a Windows installer, a signed update channel, a license your company can approve and support.

Works on: Windows, macOS and Linux for the browser tools. Image-text recognition uses Windows OCR. A browser download and some optional dependencies may be needed.

Install

Pick the route for your AI app. The commands go in PowerShell on Windows or a terminal on macOS and Linux, not into an AI chat. The package routes need Python 3.12 or newer.

Claude Desktop

Install uv, then quit and reopen Claude Desktop. Download the .mcpb file from KitchenSink4Web releases. In Claude Desktop open Settings, then Extensions, then Advanced settings, then Install extension, and choose the file. The bundle fetches the Python package the first time it starts, so the first launch needs a network connection. Restart your session and check that the tools show as connected.

Claude Code or Codex CLI

Install uv, then run the line for your app and restart your session:

claude mcp add web -s user -- uvx kitchensink4web

codex mcp add web -- uvx kitchensink4web

Any other local MCP client

Use uvx as the command and kitchensink4web as its argument, or install the package and use kitchensink4web as the server command:

pip install kitchensink4web

Then follow your client's guide for adding a local MCP server. Installing the package on its own does not connect it to an AI app.
