About This Launch
Webclaw turns any URL into clean Markdown or JSON for LLMs, with an open-source Rust core, MCP server, and hosted API. It is a drop-in Firecrawl alternative with a free plan and AGPL-3.0 self-hosting.
Why I Built This
I kept hitting the same wall wiring agents to the live web, brittle scrapers, bloated HTML in the context window, and Firecrawl-priced APIs for work that should be local-first. Webclaw is the Rust toolkit I wanted: clean Markdown/JSON for LLMs, MCP for agents, and a self-hostable core so you’re not locked into a hosted credit meter.
