SUMMARY

Fast, low-token web reader and focused crawler for AI assistants, served over MCP. Returns ranked passages instead of whole pages.

README.md

web-shooter

License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

A fast web reader for AI assistants, served over MCP. It reads web pages and PDFs and returns only the passages that answer the question, not whole pages. It runs locally and keeps nothing.

Why it's better

Live benchmark on 32 questions (web pages, JSON APIs, PDFs), 2026-10-31:

Tool Median latency Avg tokens returned Answer present
web-shooter 793 ms 1,081 29/32
Firecrawl, cache allowed 1,207 ms 25,409 28/32
Firecrawl, fresh 1,548 ms 25,025 28/32
Jina Reader 2,046 ms 25,345 24/32

Faster, and about 23× fewer tokens, with the same accuracy. Caveats and the held-out check are in docs/guide.md.

Tools

Tool Use it when Returns
fetch(urls, query?, keywords?, max_tokens?) You have URLs (or local PDF paths) The best passages, grouped by page; whole pages without a query
links(url, query?, keywords?, max_links?) You want to choose which page to read next The page's links, ranked by the query
crawl(url, query, keywords?, max_pages?, max_depth?, other_sites?, max_results?) You have a start page and a goal, not the URLs The most relevant pages, as URLs with one-line snippets
render(urls, query?, keywords?, max_tokens?) fetch finds no content: the page is built by JavaScript Like fetch, after loading the page in headless Chrome

Setup

1. Install (macOS on Apple Silicon, Linux, Windows):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/heyyviv/web-shooter/releases/latest/download/web-shooter-installer.sh | sh

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/heyyviv/web-shooter/releases/latest/download/web-shooter-installer.ps1 | iex"

Or from source (Rust 1.88+, and the only route on Intel Macs):

cargo install --git https://github.com/heyyviv/web-shooter

2. Register it. In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --scope user web-shooter -- web-shooter

Then run /mcp or start a new session. For Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients, add a stdio server with the absolute path to the binary:

{ "mcpServers": { "web-shooter": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/web-shooter" } } }

The first query downloads a 30 MB embedding model. render needs Chrome installed.
