README

@jc4649/pi-web-tools

Web search, URL fetching, GitHub cloning, and PDF/YouTube/video extraction for the pi coding agent.

Provides web_search, fetch_content, get_search_content, and code_search. Zero-config with an Exa MCP fallback; optional API keys in ~/.pi/web-search.json for Perplexity, Gemini, or Exa. Extracts URLs (readability + Gemini fallback), GitHub repos, YouTube transcripts (with frames), PDFs, and local video files.

Fork notice

Slimmed fork of pi-web-access by Nico Bailon (MIT). Changes:

node-html-markdown instead of the heavier HTML-to-markdown stack (−8.7 MB)
magic-byte image sniffing in place of the file-type dependency
trimmed packaging to source + skills only

All credit for the original design and the bulk of the implementation goes to Nico Bailon.
