MCP Go Colly MCP Server

Mcp go colly mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with MCP Go Colly directly. 1. Clone the repository: bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-go-colly.git cd mcp-go-colly .

What MCP Go Colly does

1. Clone the repository: bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-go-colly.git cd mcp-go-colly

MCP Go Colly is a sophisticated web crawling framework that integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the powerful Colly web scraping library. This project aims to provide a flexible and extensible solution for extracting web content for large language model (LLM) applications.

Key capabilities

• Concurrent web crawling with configurable depth and domain restrictions
• MCP server integration for tool-based crawling
• Graceful shutdown handling
• Robust error handling and result formatting
• Support for both single URL and batch URL crawling

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
• Installation — 1. Clone the repository: bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-go-colly.git cd mcp-go-colly
• Building — The project includes a Makefile with several useful commands:

Installing the mcp go colly mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Requirements

• Go 1.21 or later - Make (for using Makefile commands)

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Go Colly sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Installation, Building — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• Maintained by bneil, written in Go.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp go colly mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
