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 need browser automation tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
