String Web Access

Cursor plugin that connects agents to String Web Access through String's hosted remote Model Context Protocol server.

Web search, content extraction, and site mapping, returned as clean Markdown from any site — including the ones that block bots.

Install

1. Open Cursor Settings → Plugins.
2. Search for String Web Access.
3. Click Install, then paste a String API key when prompted.

Or run /add-plugin string-web-access in chat.

Keys come from portal.usestring.ai.

MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "string-web-access": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.usestring.ai/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${STRING_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

The key is stored as the plugin variable STRING_API_KEY and sent as a bearer token. The server also advertises OAuth 2.1 protected-resource metadata, so a client that prefers sign-in over a key can use that instead.

What agents can do

Tool	Capability
web_access_fetch	Fetch one URL as Markdown, with optional browser actions and JSON or raw output
web_access_product_help	Answer a question about String products or services from current public site pages
web_access_request	Send a POST, PUT or PATCH with a body to a URL
web_access_search	Search the web and get structured results back
web_access_sitemap	Crawl a site and map its URLs as an asynchronous, quoted job
web_access_report	Send one redacted, credit-free failure diagnostic to String support

The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas.

Notes

• web_access_fetch, web_access_product_help, and web_access_search are read-only.
• web_access_request writes, and web_access_sitemap creates billed crawl jobs, so both prompt before they run.
• A sitemap crawl is quoted before it bills: nothing is fetched until the quote is approved.
• Failure reporting is optional, redacted, and credit-free. Continue useful recovery first; see reporting guidance for limits and stopping rules.
