flycrawl_pdf_to_markdown
PDF ENGINE
Multilingual PDF Extraction
Parses complex whitepapers and catalogs, including bidirectional Persian/Arabic and Asian CJK text without corruption.
flycrawl_crawl
MULTI-PAGE
Recursive Website Crawling
Recursively traverses internal links across documentation or catalogs with strict depth and page boundaries. 1 credit per crawled page (0 credits if failed).
flycrawl_extract
STRUCTURED JSON
LLM Structured Schema Extraction
Transforms dynamic web pages into typed JSON conforming to a JSON Schema or natural language instructions. Read-only, idempotent. 0 credits charged on failure.
flycrawl_generate_vector
EMBEDDINGS
Direct Vector Embedding

How does FlyCrawl protect my LLM context window limits?
Instead of dumping raw HTML or noisy page text, FlyCrawl delivers Fit-Markdown which reduces token payload by an average of 83.2% (see /benchmarks), leaving your context window open for productive reasoning and code generation.
Is the MCP package open-source and verified?
Yes. The npx package flycrawl-mcp is officially maintained, lightweight, and connects to FlyCrawl's ultra-reliable cloud crawler infrastructure with zero local Playwright dependencies.
Can I use MCP with the Free Plan?
Absolutely! Every free registration receives 100 free crawl credits with full, unrestricted access to all 6 MCP tools.
