Model Context Protocol server that integrates AgentQL's data extraction capabilities.
📌Overview
Purpose: The AgentQL MCP Server is designed to facilitate data extraction from web pages using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Overview: This server leverages AgentQL's capabilities to pull structured data from specified URLs, allowing users to easily implement data extraction in their applications.
Key Features:
- Web Data Extraction Tool: The
extract-web-data
tool enables users to extract structured data by specifying a URL and providing a detailed prompt about the desired data fields. This feature streamlines the process of gathering information from online sources, making it efficient and user-friendly.

server insidemcpServers
dictionary in the config file
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentql": {

"env": {
"AGENTQL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}

Validate MCP integration
Give your agent a task that requires extracting data from the web. For example:
Extract the list of videos from the page https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=agentql, every video should have a title, an author name, a number of views and a url to the video. Make sure to exclude ads items. Format this as a markdown table.
Tip
If your agent cannot open URLs or load web content and does not use AgentQL, try adding "use tools" or "use agentql tool" hint.
Development
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
To try the development version, use the following config instead of the default one:
{
"mcpServers": {
"agentql": {
"command": "/path/to/agentql-mcp/dist/index.js",
"env": {
"AGENTQL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Note
Remove the default AgentQL MCP server config to avoid conflicts if using this config.
Debugging
MCP servers communicate over stdio, which can make debugging challenging. Use the MCP Inspector, available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector provides a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
