Crawl4AI MCP

Configuration

Connect CRAWL4AI_MCP to your AI Assistant

Configuration

To use CRAWL4AI_MCP, you must configure your AI assistant (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cline, Cursor) to recognize and connect to the MCP server.

Claude Desktop / Cline

Add the following JSON snippet to your AI Assistant's MCP configuration file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json or claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawl4ai": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "crawl4ai-mcp-llm"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windows Users: It is highly recommended to explicitly specify --python 3.13 as an argument to avoid standard library execution policy errors.

Windows Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawl4ai": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--python",
        "3.13",
        "crawl4ai-mcp-llm"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Done! Save the configuration file and restart your AI assistant. It will now have full access to autonomous web crawling capabilities via the crawl tool.
