AI-powered web research MCP server for agents. Supports web search, browse page, extract article. By MEOK AI Labs. That is what the web mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Web search and browser automation toolkit: DuckDuckGo search, page extraction, screenshots, click/type automation, and article reader.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
web_search — Search the web using DuckDuckGo (no API key needed)browse_page — Browse a webpage using headless Chromium (Playwright)extract_article — Extract clean, readable article text from a URLresearch_topic — Multi-step research: search the web, then extract contentget_weather — Get current weather for a location via wttr.inThe server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the browser automation options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Web's toolset — web_search, browse_page, extract_article and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
