Overview

Webcrawl, from Brainfish, gives a coding agent a free local way to search, scrape, map, crawl and monitor websites without an API key or account. One command adds its agent skills to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini or Windsurf, and an optional MCP server and a command-line tool expose the same features. It turns pages, single-page apps, PDFs and Office files into clean Markdown, pulls YouTube transcripts, compares product prices, looks up CVEs with fix versions, and can watch a page and alert you when it changes. Only crawl sites whose terms allow it. You get clean Markdown and structured data from the pages you point it at, plus alerts when watched pages change.
