Novada MCP
One MCP server for the entire live web. Search, extract, scrape, crawl, proxy, browser automation, and AI-powered research - behind a single hosted connection, or one local install if you'd rather run it yourself.
People who work with web scraping and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.novada.com
endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize
license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package novada-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.NovadaLabs is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
