Scrape, extract, and understand the web — plus identify any company from a domain, email, name, or transaction string.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Context.dev's API for web scraping, structured data extraction, and brand intelligence.
The mewcp-context-dev MCP Server provides:
- Web scraping in multiple formats — raw HTML, clean Markdown, screenshots, images, sitemaps, and web search
- Schema-driven structured data extraction, plus design-system extraction (styleguides and fonts)
- Brand intelligence lookups by domain, email, company name, or raw bank transaction string
Perfect for:
- Building AI agents that read, summarize, or monitor web content
- Enriching CRM, KYC, or fintech pipelines with company and brand data from a domain, email, or transaction string
- Extracting a competitor's design system (colors, typography, fonts) or structured product/pricing data at scale
