netlens-mcp

netlens-mcp

An MCP server for unobstructed web reading: it fetches any URL directly with browser-like headers — past robots.txt and naive bot blocks — and returns the full page as clean, ad-stripped Markdown, not a summary.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+ installed and on PATH

Quick Start

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "netlens-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

What This Package Does

This npm package bundles the full NetLens server (pure Python, no pip install and no network dependency after install). It:

• Checks that Python 3.10+ is installed
• Launches the bundled MCP server over stdio

Zero external Python dependencies — the server uses only the standard library.

Tools

• web_search — search the web and get real result links (title/URL/snippet), not summaries. Selectable engine (DuckDuckGo → Mojeek → Bing, or SearXNG).
• web_fetch — fetch any page as full, clean Markdown. Modes: article (main content, default), full (whole body), raw (HTML).

Configuration

NETLENS_SEARCH_ENGINE	auto	Default search backend: auto, duckduckgo, bing, mojeek, searxng
