Blowsh FAQs

Question 1

What is Blowsh and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Blowsh (blowsh-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents and clients to browse and extract fully rendered content from modern, JavaScript-heavy web pages as plain text, HTML, or Markdown.

Question 2

How does Blowsh handle JavaScript-rendered web pages?

Blowsh utilizes Browsh, a fully JavaScript-capable terminal browser, to render web pages. This ensures all JavaScript executes before content extraction, providing the real, post-rendering DOM/text/markdown.

Blowsh offers three distinct tools: 'fetch_plain' for readable plain text (ideal for summarization), 'fetch_html' for the full post-JavaScript HTML DOM, and 'fetch_markdown' for clean Markdown conversion, specifically optimized for LLM context and semantic search.

Question 4

Who is Blowsh designed for?

Accepted Answer

Blowsh is designed for AI agents (like Claude or Cursor), IDE agents, large language models (LLMs), and developers who need programmatic, AI-optimized access to dynamic web content for tasks like data extraction, content summarization, and RAG pipelines.

Question 5

What are the requirements to run Blowsh?

Accepted Answer

To run Blowsh, you need Node.js (version 18 or higher), Firefox installed and in your system's PATH, and the Browsh CLI installed and accessible in your PATH. It's built for seamless integration with PaaS, cloud, and local AI tools.
