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.

Claude Code

claude mcp add jongko54-webembedding --transport http https://webembedding-mcp.vercel.app/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jongko54-webembedding": {
      "url": "https://webembedding-mcp.vercel.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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.
