Configuring a Crawl4AI MCP Tool Instance

• Configuration Example When adding an MCP tool on the XpertAI platform, configure it as:
  type: sse
  url: "http://crawl4ai:11235/mcp/sse"
  name: crawl4ai
  
• Usage Once configured, agents or workflows can directly call the capabilities provided by the crawl4ai MCP tool (e.g., md, html, screenshot, pdf, crawl, ask, etc.) during orchestration.

​

Use Cases

​

Use Case 1: Automated Web Content Collection Agent (“Summary Bot”)

​

Key Steps

1. User inputs a link → The agent triggers the MCP’s md tool to convert the target webpage into Markdown text.
2. The agent receives and displays the summary, and can further extract key content based on user needs.

​

Summary Illustration

User: Please summarize the main content of https://example.com.
Agent → Calls MCP tool `md` to retrieve content in Markdown format
Agent → Returns the summary to the user

​

Use Case 2: Multimedia Content Capture and Analysis Workflow (“Report Generator”)

​

Implementation Steps

1. User inputs a link → The agent sequentially calls:
   • screenshot: Generates a webpage screenshot
   • pdf: Exports the webpage as a PDF
   • Optional: ask or html → Extracts structured text content
2. The agent compiles the screenshot, PDF, and text into a shareable report.

​

Workflow Illustration

User: Please capture the https://example.com page and generate a report.
→ Agent calls MCP:
   1⃣ Calls `screenshot` to obtain a page screenshot
   2⃣ Calls `pdf` to obtain a page PDF
   3⃣ Optional: Calls `ask`/`html` to retrieve structured text or Markdown

Agent: Below are the page screenshot and PDF file, with the extracted summary as follows... (displays content)
