About CrawlEyes MCP Server

CrawlEyes MCP Server is an MCP server published by the GitHub account waiky-github. Web scraping & search for AI agents: extract, SearXNG search, rerank, robots compliance. No API key.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the PyPI package crawleyes at version 0.2.0.

It asks for one secret: TAVILY_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.

Version 0.2.0 was published on 1 September 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 9 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 7 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.

What it asks for

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
`SEARXNG_URL`	No	No	Optional. Base URL of a SearXNG instance (e.g. http://localhost:8080). If unset, falls back to Tavily keyless.
`TAVILY_API_KEY`	No	Yes	Optional. Tavily API key for higher-rate search fallback. If unset, uses Tavily keyless (rate-limited).

What these checks don't cover

We did not run this server, so we don't know what it does when it runs. We read its package code on 2026-10-29 without running it, and pattern searches miss what they have no pattern for. Tool descriptions built at run time were not seen. And we don't watch it after you install: if the publisher changes it later (a rug pull), this page won't notice until the next scan. Treat a pass as "nothing found", not as "safe".

For people and their AI

The same data as plain JSON: /data/servers/io-github-waiky-github-crawleyes.json. Text inside it that came from the publisher is data, not instructions.
