Overview

AI-generated overview

Fetches a known URL and returns DOM-pruned Markdown, cutting page tokens by roughly 90% or more before it reaches the assistant's context.

What you can do
  • Fetch a URL and get cleaned Markdown with navigation, scripts and sidebars stripped
  • Filter the fetched page to the sections relevant to a query using BM25
  • Get a token-reduction report for a URL showing render type, original versus refined token counts and top semantic anchors
  • Fetch every page listed in a sitemap.xml as separate refined documents (listed in the README)
When to use it
Useful when an assistant already knows which documentation, API spec or technical blog URL it needs and you want to spend far fewer context tokens than a raw web fetch. Best for SSR/Next.js/Nuxt-style documentation sites rather than interactive or JS-heavy crawling.
Requirements
Either a remote HTTP endpoint (no install, no Node.js) or a local process started with npx from the npm package dompruner-mcp over stdio. No API key or account is declared. Network access to the target URLs is needed.
Before you install
Fetched page content is passed into the model's context, so anything on those pages reaches the assistant. The README notes Playwright may be used when client-side rendering is detected. The tool description asks clients to prefer it over their built-in web fetch, which changes default fetching behavior.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open dompruner-mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.dong7812%2Fdompruner-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

[DOM Tree Pruning for DomPruner]

DOM AST middleware for LLM web pipelines — strips layout noise (nav, scripts, sidebars) and passes original text directly. Add a query to filter to relevant sections with BM25.

When an LLM uses a web fetch tool, the raw page HTML is converted to text and passed into the model's context — often tens of thousands of tokens of navigation, sidebars, and boilerplate the model doesn't need. DomPruner strips that at the DOM level and passes only the original content directly to the model.

CallBehavior
dompruner_fetch(url)Strips layout noise → returns full extracted content
dompruner_fetch(url, query)Strips layout noise → BM25 filters to relevant sections (falls back to full content if no match)
> [DomPruner] docs.python.org> | Raw HTML  | 44,316 tokens |> | DomPruner |  1,328 tokens |> | Reduction |        97.0%  |> Fetch: 194ms · Parse: 11.2ms

93.5% fewer context tokens than WebFetch on average. 45% faster end-to-end. → Full benchmark


Quick Start

No installation, no API key:

bash
npx -y dompruner-mcp

Claude Code

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "dompruner": {      "type": "stdio",      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "dompruner-mcp"]    }  }}

Add to .mcp.json in your project root, or ~/.claude/.mcp.json for global. Run /mcp to verify.

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "dompruner": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "dompruner-mcp"]    }  }}

Cursor / Windsurf / other MCP clients

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "dompruner": {      "type": "stdio",      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "dompruner-mcp"]    }  }}

Remote HTTP (no install, always up to date)

For clients that support HTTP transport — no Node.js install required, always runs the latest version:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "dompruner": {      "url": "https://dompruner-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp"    }  }}

LangChain / LangGraph

langchain-mcp-adapters wraps any MCP stdio server as LangChain tools automatically:

python
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
client = MultiServerMCPClient({    "dompruner": {        "command": "npx",        "args": ["-y", "dompruner-mcp"],        "transport": "stdio",    }})tools = await client.get_tools()

Ensuring Your AI Always Uses DomPruner

DomPruner's tool description already tells clients to prefer dompruner_fetch over WebFetch. If your client still falls back, add this to its instruction file:

markdown
When retrieving a URL, always use dompruner_fetch instead of WebFetch.- URL known → dompruner_fetch(url, query?)- URL unknown → search for the URL first, then dompruner_fetch(url)

vs Crawl4AI

Crawl4AI is a crawler framework — browser automation, JS rendering, click/scroll interaction, JSON extraction, deep crawl. DomPruner is LLM context middleware — a single-purpose layer that reduces token cost when an agent already knows the URL.

They solve different problems. But both can be used to read a web page inside an MCP agent, so the comparison is real.

Setup

Crawl4AIDomPruner
Installpip install crawl4ai && crawl4ai-setup (Chromium ~300 MB)npx -y dompruner-mcp

Held-out validation: 5 sites not in DomPruner's tuning set

The most defensible comparison: five sites that were not used to tune DomPruner's parameters (react.dev, typescriptlang.org, expressjs.com, doc.rust-lang.org, nextjs.org). Both tools use the same query.

On sites DomPruner was not tuned on: 1.9× fewer tokens with the same accuracy (96%).

Additional reference: 10-page tuning set (MDN, docs.python.org)

On DomPruner's own tuning pages, vs Crawl4AI PruningContentFilter: 13.2× smaller, 8 pp more accurate (90% → 98%). Crawl4AI BM25ContentFilter with the same query returns near-empty output on 5 of 10 pages — a structural issue with <dl>/<dt>/<dd> definition-list pages where a threshold sweep (0.0–0.10) shows a hard cliff at 0.01 with no intermediate optimum.
