Give your AI agent any public webpage

ExtractAPI's MCP server exposes one extract tool. Without a key it performs bounded public HTTP fetching with redirect, SSRF, and response-size checks. With EXTRACTAPI_KEY it calls the authenticated browser-backed API for JavaScript rendering, waits, selectors, and structured output. Neither mode guarantees access to protected sites.
