Stop paying $20–50/month for your AI agent to browse the web. i built the free version no API keys, no config, no rate limits😳 it's called Hound. An MCP server that does fetch, search, crawl, and screenshot — all keyless and now it ships a native Pi extension, so you get all 6 tools as first-class Pi tools, not through a generic MCP adapter what you get: → web_fetch — anti-bot fetch → clean markdown. PDFs get section maps + auto-OCR. Dead pages auto-recover from the Internet archive (honestly marked, never pretending it's live) → web_search — 10 keyless backends in parallel (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Mojeek, Yandex, Google…) + a local neural reranker → web_crawl — best-first same-domain walk. sitemap mode maps a whole site in one fetch → web_screenshot — anti-bot shots for multimodal models → cache_clear + hound_version what it replaces: -tavily — free tier -firecrawl — $16–50/mo -searXNG + browser + extractor glue — fragile -hound — $0, keyless, forever why it matters: >agent research needs web access, but everyone gates it behind a key or a limit >hound is honest about errors — a 404 says "Page doesn't exist" instead of dumping an error page as if it were content >archive recovery tags source= so the agent knows the content is historical, not live 2-minute setup: -pip install hound-mcp[all] -pi install npm: @houndmcp/hound-mcp-pi -/reload → tools are live. That's it Caveats (read): dataDome, Akamai, Cloudflare Turnstile — no free tool bypasses these hound tries the stealthy browser, then tells you to switch sources the [all] extra is ~100MB (onnxruntime + OCR). Works without it, but full install is recommended not a scraping-at-scale tool. Crawl caps at 100 pages by default — built for agent research Give your agent the web for free
