Enables enhanced web research capabilities for large language models through intelligent search queuing and advanced content extraction.
Deep Web Research MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Enables enhanced web research capabilities for large language models through intelligent search queuing and advanced content extraction.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for advanced web research.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at playwright on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Deep Web Research is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Arguments — typescriptReturns — typescriptNote — maxParallel is limited to 5 to ensure reliable performanceWindows — The Windows tool exposed by this servermacOS — This config allows Claude Desktop to automatically start the web research MCP server when neededTools — 1. deep_research - Performs comprehensive research with content analysis - Arguments: typescript { topic: string; maxDepth?: number; // default: 2Prompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverDebugging — 1. Check Claude Desktop's MCP logs: bash # On macOS tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.logSetup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverTesting — The Testing tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: LOG_LEVEL. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
npm and npx) - Claude Desktop appThis sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Deep Web Research's toolset — Arguments, Returns, Note and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by qpd-v; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
