## overview

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** enables the WebScraper agent to interact with external tools, databases, and services through a standardized interface. MCP servers expose **tools** that the agent can discover and use dynamically.

### why-mcp

**Without MCP:**
- Agent limited to built-in capabilities
- Cannot access external databases, APIs, or specialized libraries
- Difficult to extend without code changes

**With MCP:**
-  Dynamically discover and use 100+ community tools
-  Access databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.)
-  Use specialized libraries (BeautifulSoup, Selenium, Playwright)
-  Integrate with external APIs (Google, GitHub, etc.)
-  Extend agent capabilities without code changes

    def __init__(self):
        self.servers: Dict[str, MCPServer] = {}
        self.tools: Dict[str, Tool] = {}  # tool_name β†’ Tool
    
    def discover_servers(self, config: MCPConfig):
        """Load and connect to all enabled MCP servers."""
        for server_name, server_config in config.mcpServers.items():
            if not server_config.enabled:
                continue
            
            # Auto-download if needed
            if server_config.autoDownload and not self.is_installed(server_config):
                self.download_and_install(server_name, server_config)
            
            # Connect to server
            server = self.connect_server(server_name, server_config)
            self.servers[server_name] = server
            
            # Discover tools
            for tool in server.list_tools():
                full_name = f"{server_name}.{tool.name}"
                self.tools[full_name] = tool
    
    def get_tool(self, tool_name: str) -> Tool:
        """Get tool by fully qualified name (server.tool)."""
        return self.tools.get(tool_name)
    
    def search_tools(self, query: str, category: str = None) -> List[Tool]:
        """Search tools by natural language query."""
        # Semantic search using tool descriptions
        candidates = list(self.tools.values())
        
        if category:
            candidates = [t for t in candidates if t.category == category]
        
        # Embed query and tools, rank by similarity
        scored = []
        for tool in candidates:
            score = self.semantic_similarity(query, tool.description)
            scored.append((tool, score))
        
        scored.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
        return [tool for tool, score in scored[:10]]
```

### tool-metadata

Each tool exposes rich metadata:

```python
class Tool(BaseModel):
    name: str                          # e.g., "find_all"
    full_name: str                     # e.g., "beautifulsoup.find_all"
    server: str                        # Server name
    description: str                   # Human-readable description
    category: str                      # "parsing" | "browser" | "database" | ...
    input_schema: Dict[str, Any]       # JSON Schema for parameters
    output_schema: Dict[str, Any]      # JSON Schema for return value
    examples: List[ToolExample]        # Usage examples
    cost: ToolCost                     # Time/resource cost estimate
    requires_auth: bool                # Needs API keys?
    rate_limit: Optional[RateLimit]    # Rate limiting info
```

**Example:**
```python
Tool(
    name="find_all",
    full_name="beautifulsoup.find_all",
    server="beautifulsoup",
    description="Find all HTML elements matching a CSS selector",
    category="parsing",
    input_schema={
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "html": {"type": "string", "description": "HTML content to search"},
            "selector": {"type": "string", "description": "CSS selector"}
        },
        "required": ["html", "selector"]
    },
    output_schema={
        "type": "array",
        "items": {"type": "object"}
    },
    examples=[
        ToolExample(
            input={"html": "<div class='item'>A</div>", "selector": ".item"},
            output=[{"tag": "div", "text": "A", "class": "item"}]
        )
    ],
    cost=ToolCost(time_ms=10, cpu_intensive=False),
    requires_auth=False
)
```

### auto-tool-discovery-by-agent

The agent can query the registry to find relevant tools:

```python
# Agent needs to parse HTML
available_tools = tool_registry.search_tools(
    query="parse HTML and extract elements by CSS selector",
    category="parsing"
)

# Top result: beautifulsoup.find_all
tool = available_tools[0]

# Agent calls the tool
action = Action(
    action_type="MCP_TOOL_CALL",
    tool_name=tool.full_name,
    tool_params={
        "html": observation.page_html,
        "selector": "div.product-price"
    }
)
```

### batch-processing-for-long-content

When HTML is too large (> 100KB), process in batches:

```python
class HTMLBatchProcessor:

        self.mcp = mcp_client
        self.chunk_size = chunk_size
    
    def process_large_html(self, html: str, selector: str) -> List[Dict]:
        """Process large HTML in chunks."""
        # Split HTML into meaningful chunks (by sections, not mid-tag)
        chunks = self.split_html_intelligently(html)
        
        results = []
        for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
            # Process each chunk
            chunk_results = self.mcp.call("beautifulsoup.find_all", {
                "html": chunk,
                "selector": selector
            })
            
            # Deduplicate across chunk boundaries
            results.extend(self.deduplicate(chunk_results, results))
        
        return results
    
    def split_html_intelligently(self, html: str) -> List[str]:
        """Split HTML at section boundaries, not mid-tag."""
        soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')
        
        # Split by major sections (article, section, div.container, etc.)
        sections = soup.find_all(['article', 'section', 'main'])
        
        chunks = []
        current_chunk = ""
        
        for section in sections:
            section_html = str(section)
            
            if len(current_chunk) + len(section_html) > self.chunk_size:
                chunks.append(current_chunk)
                current_chunk = section_html

## mcp-composition

Combine multiple MCP tools to create powerful workflows.

### example-1-parse-html-extract-tables-save-to-database

```python
# Step 1: Clean HTML
cleaned = mcp.call("beautifulsoup.clean_html", {
    "html": observation.page_html
})

# Step 2: Extract tables
tables = mcp.call("beautifulsoup.extract_tables", {
    "html": cleaned["html"]
})

# Step 3: Save to PostgreSQL
for table in tables:
    mcp.call("postgresql.execute", {
        "sql": "INSERT INTO scraped_data (data) VALUES (%s)",
        "params": [json.dumps(table)]
    })
```

### example-2-search-google-navigate-parse-article-summarize

```python
# Step 1: Search
results = mcp.call("google-search.search", {
    "query": "best widgets 2026",
    "num": 5
})

# Step 2: Navigate to top result
mcp.call("playwright.navigate", {
    "url": results[0]["url"]
})

# Step 3: Extract article
article = mcp.call("readability.extract_article", {
    "html": mcp.call("playwright.get_html", {})
})

# Step 4: Summarize
summary = mcp.call("llm.summarize", {
    "text": article["text"],
    "max_length": 200
})
```

### composition-dsl

Define reusable workflows:

```python
class MCPWorkflow:

        self.name = name
        self.steps = steps

        for step in self.steps:
            result = await mcp.call(step.tool, step.params(context))
            context[step.output_var] = result
        
        return context

# Define workflow
extract_and_save = MCPWorkflow(
    name="extract_and_save",
    steps=[
        WorkflowStep(
            tool="beautifulsoup.find_all",
            params=lambda ctx: {"html": ctx["html"], "selector": ctx["selector"]},
            output_var="extracted"
        ),
        WorkflowStep(
            tool="cerberus.validate",
            params=lambda ctx: {"data": ctx["extracted"], "schema": ctx["schema"]},
            output_var="validated"
        ),
        WorkflowStep(
            tool="postgresql.execute",
            params=lambda ctx: {"sql": "INSERT INTO items ...", "params": ctx["validated"]},
            output_var="saved"
        )
    ]
)

# Execute
result = await extract_and_save.execute({
    "html": obs.page_html,
    "selector": "div.product",
    "schema": PRODUCT_SCHEMA
})
```
