Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "trawlia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trawlia-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRAWLIA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TRAWLIA_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add trawlia --env TRAWLIA_API_KEY=your-value --env TRAWLIA_BASE_URL=your-value -- npx -y trawlia-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trawlia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trawlia-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRAWLIA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TRAWLIA_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "trawlia": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "trawlia-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRAWLIA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TRAWLIA_BASE_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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 Trawlia 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?

You need to fill in: TRAWLIA_API_KEY

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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

trawlia-mcp

Trawlia as an MCP server: news search, web search and page extraction, as two tools any MCP client can call.

Claude Code

claude mcp add trawlia --env TRAWLIA_API_KEY=twl_... -- npx -y trawlia-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and anything else reading a JSON config

"mcpServers": { "trawlia": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "trawlia-mcp"], "env": { "TRAWLIA_API_KEY": "twl_..." } } } }

The tools

`trawlia_search`

Ranked, deduplicated results from the live web.

Argument	Default	Notes
`query`	required	Natural language, not keywords.
`search_depth`	`basic`	`basic` is 1 credit and returns snippets. `advanced` is 2 and returns full page text.
`topic`	`general`	`news` reaches news indexes and returns publication dates.
`max_results`	all	Top N of the ranked list. Left out, every result found is returned, typically 20 to 60. These go into your context, so set it when the task is narrow.
`include_domains` / `exclude_domains`	-	Host filters. Subdomains are included.
`time_range`	-	`day`, `week`, `month`, `year`.

`trawlia_extract`

Fetches URLs you already have and returns their readable content, with navigation, cookie banners and newsletter modals removed. 1 credit per 5 URLs, so pass the whole list at once.

What the model sees

Results come back as readable text rather than raw JSON, and carry two things a plain response would lose:

When a page could not be read, the result says so and why, instead of presenting a snippet as though it were the article.
A coverage line when a source was unavailable, so the model can weigh a thin result set properly rather than reporting it as a confident nothing.

Errors are readable sentences that say whether retrying is worth it. Running out of credits says so and says not to retry; a rate limit says how long to wait.

Costs

Operation	Credits
Basic search	1
Advanced search	2
Extraction	1 per 5 URLs

Charged before the work and refunded on hard failure. Full price list at trawlia.co/pricing.

Not available

Search and extraction, and nothing else. There is no crawler and no long-running job to poll. If your agent needs to walk a whole site, this is the wrong server for it.

Checking it works

TRAWLIA_API_KEY=twl_... node smoke.mjs

Spends a few credits against the real API and prints what a client sees: the tool list, a rendered search, a rejected parameter, and an extraction. Not in CI, because it costs money and depends on the live web.

Environment

Variable	Required	Notes
`TRAWLIA_API_KEY`	yes	A `search`-scoped key is enough and is what you should deploy.
`TRAWLIA_BASE_URL`	no	Defaults to `https://api.trawlia.co`. For pointing at a local server.
