Overview

What is Site Cloner MCP Server?

Site Cloner MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that helps LLMs like Claude clone websites by providing tools to fetch, analyze, and download website assets. It is built for developers and AI users who need to capture local copies of web pages.

How to use Site Cloner MCP Server?

The server runs in Docker. Build the image (docker build -t site-cloner-mcp .) and run the container (docker run -i --rm site-cloner-mcp). For persistent storage, mount a volume. To integrate with Cursor, add a project-level .cursor/mcp.json or a global MCP server pointing to the Docker command. Once configured, ask Claude to clone a website, and it will use the available tools to fetch, parse, download, and organize assets.

FAQ from Site Cloner MCP Server

Why is the server not showing up in Cursor?

Restart Cursor, check your configuration file syntax, and ensure Docker is installed and running. Look at Cursor’s MCP logs (Output → Cursor MCP) for errors. Try running the server manually with docker run -i --rm site-cloner-mcp.

How do I fix a “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'site_cloner'”?

Check that the package name in pyproject.toml is correct and that import statements do not include the src. prefix. Rebuild the Docker image with docker build --no-cache -t site-cloner-mcp ..

Where do downloaded files go?

The server automatically organizes downloaded assets into subdirectories based on content type: html, css, js, images, fonts, videos, other. Use a mounted volume to persist them outside the container.

Are there any legal considerations when using this server?

Be mindful of copyright and terms of service restrictions when cloning sites. Some websites may block automated requests; you might need to adjust the user agent string.

Does the server have any dependencies beyond Docker?

Yes, Docker must be installed on your system. The server itself is packaged as a Docker image and requires no additional local runtime.
