Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"diffbot-diffbot-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["diffbot-mcp"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-11; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"diffbot-diffbot-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["diffbot-mcp"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio diffbot-diffbot-mcp -- uvx diffbot-mcp
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

Web knowledge fetching tools for your agent.
What is Diffbot?
Diffbot is an applied AI lab building models that structure all of human knowledge. Our commercial product suite make it possible to fetch and structure knowledge at the scale of the entire public web.
This is the MCP counterpart to diffbot-skills without requiring bash access.
## Tools
### Web
#### 🧬 extract
Web fetch tool alternative. Conventional fetch tools return either 500k+ tokens of HTML or a markdown approximation of the page's content. Extract classifies the page it is fetching and extracts content into a meaningful and consistent JSON schema. Responses are optimized for minimal token usage while maintaining data fidelity. Learn more..
#### 🔎 search_web
Web search tool that ranks accuracy, not popularity. Built on Diffbot's independent web index. Ranking model heavily favors primary sources over secondary sources (e.g. press release > news piece on said press release). Returns markdown formatted content chunks for source citation, with num_results and max_tokens controls. Learn more.
Also includes a page cache reader. Query url: and it returns Diffbot's already-parsed copy of that page from the index in a fraction of the time for live fetch. Use it for full content from reference prose (docs, articles, papers) and reach for extract when the page's current state matters.
#### 🕷️ crawl
Find all links on a web page (the seed) and extract them all. A classic web crawl without the need for scraping rules. Crawls run as background jobs and can be polled for status. Crawl automatically classifies and structures pages in a standard ontology for easy querying. Use crawl to archive documentation, take snapshots of web projects, or site mapping. Learn More.
#### 🧠 resolve_entities
Recognize and resolve entities in text. Uses Diffbot NLP to recognize organizations, people, places, addresses, and other proper nouns in text. Entities are resolved to entity IDs in the Diffbot Knowledge Graph, and the response includes a ready-made dql_filter (id:or(...)) to fetch their full records with dql. Use to keep AI hallucinations in check and explore deep research opportunities. Learn more.
### Knowledge Graph
The Diffbot Knowledge Graph contains over 10 billion entities: Organizations, people, news, places, and more, all linked together by their relationship to each other. It is a representation of things, facts, and connections mentioned by the trillions of websites that make up the public web.
#### 📰 search_news
News and articles by mentioned entity, topic, publisher, language, date range, or sentiment. Newest first by default, relevance-ranked inside a date window.
#### 🏢 search_organizations
Companies by industry, headquarters, headcount, revenue, funding, ownership, or leadership, plus similar_to lookalike lists for competitor mapping.
#### 👤 search_people
People by title, employer, employer industry, skills, education, location, or nationality. Covers people with a public online professional presence only.
#### 🗺️ search_places
Cities, counties, states, countries, and points of interest by name, population, prominence, containing place, or proximity.
