What it does

Give a start address. The actor crawls the site over plain HTTP, following links and the sitemap, and returns one row per page with internal links, external links, file download links, every HTML table as rows, and every list. The output is deterministic, with no AI. robots.txt is obeyed by default. Pages built by JavaScript return little, because no browser runs.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-site-crawler-links-tables": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-site-crawler-links-tables"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The crawl_site_links_tables tool appears.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

Example prompts

"List every external download link on this website."
"Pull all the tables from these pages into rows."
"Crawl this site and show me which pages link out to other domains."

Tool

crawl_site_links_tables. One tool. Example arguments:

  ],
  "extract": [
    "tables",
    "links"
  ],
  "max_pages": 10,
  "max_depth": 1
}
