Acrawl MCP Server

Autonomous web crawler. 17 browser tools + goal-driven run_goal agent. Single binary, stealth. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface.

People who work with autonomous agents, browser automation and cloakbrowser and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
