Summary
Wraps the Thunderbit Open API to give Claude seven web scraping tools: distill pages into clean Markdown, extract structured data by passing a JSON Schema, ask the API to suggest fields when you don't know the page structure, and run batch jobs on up to 100 URLs. Authentication needs a free API key from app.thunderbit.com. Distill costs 1 credit per page, extract costs 20, and polling job status is free. Useful when you need to turn messy HTML into LLM-friendly text or pull repeating data patterns out of pages without writing selectors. Ships as an npm package that works over stdio with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
