Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "httrack": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/techventures-studio/httrack-mcp-server:v1.0.3"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add httrack -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/techventures-studio/httrack-mcp-server:v1.0.3

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "httrack": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/techventures-studio/httrack-mcp-server:v1.0.3"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "httrack": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",

        "ghcr.io/techventures-studio/httrack-mcp-server:v1.0.3"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is HTTrack MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry 35 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

HTTrack MCP Server

A FastMCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the classic HTTrack website copier, so AI agents can mirror websites into a shared archive and then browse, read, and search the downloaded content — all over MCP.

Why

HTTrack is battle-tested for offline website copying, but it has no scripting API — only a GUI and a CLI. This server makes it agent-native: an LLM agent can call mirror_site to start a download in the background, poll mirror_status, and later answer questions from the archive via catalog, list_files, read_file, and search_files.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`mirror_site(url, project, depth, max_rate, filters)`	Start a background mirror into the archive (`/data/` ). One active mirror per project — a concurrent request for the same project returns `already_running` with the live `job_id`; different projects run in parallel.
`mirror_status(job_id)`	Job status (`running` / `done` / `failed` + log tail). Omit to list recent jobs; also accepts the project name.
`catalog()`	All projects: short name, short description (auto-derived from each site's /meta description), source URL, status, page/file counts, size.
`list_files(project, subpath)`	Directory listing inside a project (name, type, size, modified).
`read_file(project, path, max_bytes)`	Read one text file (HTML/JS/CSS/txt/json/md). Refuses binaries; caps content at 256 KB to keep agent context sane.
`search_files(project, query, max_results)`	Case-insensitive substring search across a project's text files, capped results.

Quick start

Prerequisites: Docker.

docker build -t httrack-mcp-server .

docker run -d --name httrack-mcp --restart unless-stopped \ -p 9050:8000 \ -v /path/to/your/archive:/data:rw \ httrack-mcp

The container exposes the MCP server over streamable HTTP at http:// :9050/mcp.

Register in an MCP client

Example for MCPHub-style gateways (streamable-http):

"httrack": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "http://192.168.1.35:9050/mcp", "enabled": true, "description": "HTTrack site mirroring + archive browsing", "owner": "admin" } }

Clients that speak streamable HTTP directly can connect to /mcp with no extra auth (nobody is authenticated; run this on a trusted network, or put it behind your gateway's auth). See HELP.md for full usage, examples, and troubleshooting.

Concurrency model

One httrack process per project, isolated by its own output directory — no shared state between projects, so multiple agents can mirror different sites in parallel.
mirror_site guards against double-mirroring the same project (in-process job table + a /proc scan for httrack processes writing to that project directory).

CI

GitHub Actions runs on every PR and push: Python syntax check of server.py, Dockerfile sanity assertions, and a Docker image build.
