Webfold documentation
Read how to install Webfold when it opens, scrape and crawl the web into clean Markdown, run the MCP and CDP servers, and call the hosted API.
Webfold turns messy websites and documents into clean text that people and AI can use. It runs as a small program on your own machine, with a hosted API in early access. The program has no public download yet.

Scrape your first page in a few commands.
Guides
Scraping, rendered pages, crawling, search, documents, WARC, CDP and MCP.
API reference
Every endpoint with parameters, schemas, code samples and a Try it panel.
CLI reference
Every subcommand and its arguments.
OCR and documents
Office files, ebooks and PDFs to Markdown, with OCR for scans.
PII and secrets
Detect and redact personal data and credentials, with an HTTP service.
Corpusforge and Glossa

Computer use
Sandboxed desktops an agent drives and a person can take over.
Try the API
Open the playground to run scrape, crawl, map, search and the PII service and see the results rendered, or build the commands for the local tools. The API explorer is for raw requests, and the PII API documents the redaction service.
