Install Tapsite in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y tapsite on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the Tapsite repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
tapsite
The MCP server for web intelligence extraction. 55 tools that give AI agents the ability to understand websites — not just drive a browser, but extract structured intelligence about design systems, accessibility, performance, content, and more.
Other MCP browser tools let agents click buttons. tapsite lets agents extract a complete color palette, audit WCAG contrast ratios, diff two sites' design tokens, detect tech stacks, or pull structured data with custom CSS/XPath/regex selectors — all as structured JSON that agents can reason about.
55 Tools · 11 Categories · 4 Workflows · Multi-Format Export
Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI agent. LangChain/LangGraph integration coming soon.

Installation
# Quick start (no install required)
npx -y tapsite
# Or install globally
npm install -g tapsite
npx playwright install chromium
npx playwright install-deps chromiumAdd to your AI agent's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tapsite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "tapsite"]
}
}
}First run: Playwright will install Chromium automatically if not already present (~150MB one-time download).
Also available on the MCP Registry and Glama.
What makes tapsite different
Extract design systems — colors, fonts, spacing scales, breakpoints, components, shadows, icons, CSS variables, and contrast ratios from any website. Output as structured JSON or W3C design tokens.
Audit quality — accessibility scoring with WCAG contrast analysis, performance timing (Core Web Vitals), tech stack detection, dark mode support, and animation inventory.
Compare and track — diff two sites side by side, or track a single site over time with snapshot-based temporal diffs. Regressions and improvements are flagged automatically. Disk caching means crawls resume where they left off, and results are reused across sessions.
Work behind login walls — persistent browser sessions with full MFA support. A 3-tier anti-bot escalation system handles protected sites automatically — from stealth scripts to proxy rotation. Log in once manually, then extract across tool calls without re-authenticating. Credentials never enter the chat.
