About RAG Web Browser

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables LLMs and AI agents to perform web searches and fetch URLs. It communicates with Apify's RAG Web Browser Actor in Standby mode, providing fast responses. Supports Google search queries with configurable number of results, direct URL fetching, and returns cleaned content as Markdown, text, or HTML. Offers two scraping modes: raw-http for fast static pages and browser-playwright for JavaScript-heavy sites. Note: This server is deprecated in favor of mcp.apify.com, which provides the same functionality plus access to 6,000+ Apify Actors.
