Web Embedding MCP Server
webEmbedding is a source-first website cloning engine for AI coding agents: it captures live pages with Playwright, replays network evidence from HAR artifacts, rebuilds only when direct reuse is blocked, and self-verifies the result.
People who work with browser capture, frontend and har and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Web Embedding
before you install - you'll need
Set WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_NO_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_PROMPT, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_LOG before connecting.

06 · Web Embedding FAQ
What is Web Embedding?
webEmbedding is a source-first website cloning engine for AI coding agents: it captures live pages with Playwright, replays network evidence from HAR artifacts, rebuilds only when direct reuse is blocked, and self-verifies the result.
Is Web Embedding still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-06-30. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Web Embedding?
Run `npx -y web-embedding`. The README documents 5 environment variables (WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_NO_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_PROMPT…) to set first. Set WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_NO_TELEMETRY, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_PROMPT, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT, WEB_EMBEDDING_TELEMETRY_LOG before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Web Embedding run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
