Metalift tools (11)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • metalift_batch_scrape

    Scrape up to 100 URLs in parallel (billed per URL). Default response_detail=compact. Use async=true for background jobs; wait=true blocks with progress. For JS-heavy pages set strategy=auto in scrape_options. …

  • metalift_crawl

    Crawl a site from a seed URL and return markdown for discovered pages (1+ credits per page). Default wait=true blocks with progress; wait=false returns job id for metalift_job_status.

  • metalift_job_status

    Poll async crawl or batch job status and results. Returns human-readable progress (pages completed, credits charged).

  • metalift_list_sessions

    List org-scoped browser sessions stored via metalift_seed_session.

  • metalift_list_strategies

    List scrape strategies with protection levels and credit estimates. Use before scraping unknown protected sites.

  • metalift_map

    Discover same-origin links by parsing HTML anchors on one page (1 credit). Fallback when metalift_sitemap is unavailable. Does not fetch full page content.

  • metalift_scrape

    Scrape a single URL into markdown, HTML, or text. Default: fast static article path (1 credit, response_detail=compact). E-commerce hosts auto-route to retail/residential. Pass strategy=auto for WAF/SPA pages. Fetch metalift://agent-guide for session workflow. …

  • metalift_seed_session

    Store browser session credentials for a domain (org-scoped). Prefer full Playwright storage_state JSON from the user's browser — preserves cookies + localStorage for fingerprint-coherent replay via unified browser session on later scrapes. Fallback: cookie_header + user_agent from DevTools.

  • metalift_sitemap

    Fetch XML sitemap URLs for a site. Discovers sitemap locations from robots.txt (Sitemap: directives) or /sitemap.xml, follows sitemap indexes, and returns page URLs with optional lastmod/changefreq/priority. Costs 1 credit. Prefer this over metalift_map when you need the site's published URL list.

  • metalift_warm_session

    Automated browser warmup to collect cookies for later scrapes (15 credits). Use when manual metalift_seed_session is not possible; often fails on strict WAFs.

  • metalift_web_search

    Search the web and return up to … SERP results (title, url, snippet, engine, score). Costs 2 credits per search. Returns search snippets only — not page content. Answer simple questions from snippets; do not auto-scrape. Call metalift_scrape separately only when full page content is required.

Install Metalift in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @metalift/mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add metalift -- npx -y @metalift/mcp
Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the Metalift repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

@metalift/mcp

Metalift MCP server for AI agents. Exposes scrape, crawl, map, and batch tools over stdio for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients.

What is Metalift?

Metalift Cloud is a hosted web context platform — scrape, crawl, and map sites into LLM-ready markdown for AI agents. This MCP server connects your AI client to the Metalift API.

Get an API key

  1. Sign up for Metalift Cloud and verify your email.
  2. Complete onboarding and copy your API key from Dashboard → API keys.

New accounts receive 1,000 free credits/month. Set METALIFTAPIKEY in your MCP config (see below). Do not commit keys to git.

Install

Published on npm as @metalift/mcp. Default config uses npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "metalift": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@metalift/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "METALIFT_API_URL": "https://api.metalift.ai",
        "METALIFT_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop: paste the same JSON into claudedesktopconfig.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config). See MCP setup — Claude Desktop and examples/claude-mcp.json.

Corporate Windows / SSL inspection: if npx fails with UNABLETOVERIFYLEAFSIGNATURE, install locally and use node — see examples/claude-mcp-local.json / cursor-mcp-local.json and MCP setup troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting

Full guide: packages/platform-web/docs/mcp-setup.md.

Web search vs scrape

Search and scrape are separate tools with separate billing:

  1. metaliftwebsearch — returns up to 10 search snippets (2 credits, English by default). Review titles and snippets first.
  2. metaliftscrape — fetches page content for URLs you choose (1+ credits per URL). Default responsedetail=compact (~16k chars, no link lists). Use standard for full articles or full for raw JSON with all links.

Do not auto-scrape every search result. See Web search for agent workflow examples.
