LSD MCP
This is the updated MCP server for LSD. The reason behind this update is to effectively leverage dynamic tools that are defined as trips using our SDK.

Getting started
Authenticating
This is to connect the running MCP server with your account by using our SDK.
The reason for using the terms user and password is because what you're connecting to is our postgres compatible database.
Configuration file
In your home directory, write a JSON to a file named .lsd with the properties user and password with your email and an API key from your profile.
{
"user": "<you@email.domain>",
"password": "<api_key>"
}
Environment variables
Alternatively, you can set the environment variables LSD_USER and LSD_PASSWORD.
$ export LSD_USER='you@email.domain'
$ export LSD_PASSWORD='<api_key>'
Important: If you run into errors when taking this approach, check the environment variables set are accessible from the PATH or process the MCP client is invoking it from.

Extending capabilities with LSD
For scenarios where you'd like to teach the MCP client a "skill", you can do so with an LSD trip (what is that?).
What is a trip?
A "trip" is a published module consisting of an LSD program whether it was derived by interacting with our local browser or by directly publishing a trip.
From the bicycle browser
From the Bicycle browser you can derive LSD by using our "click language", this can be activated by clicking on the transcriber icon in the top right:

Or by pressing Command+k (or Ctrl+k for Linux/Windows). Once you've done so, you can interactively "pluck" repeating containers as well as fields of interest:

With the generated LSD, you can edit the aliases like so:

After which you can publish using the language.
Using the language
From the workbench, simply edit to publish a trip.

Extending capabilities with TypeScript
Check out the internetdata SDK that's used under the hood to bridge with the web. Or, alternatively, get started using the create-your-internet shorthand.
$ yarn create your-internet
Or, if you prefer npm
$ npm create your-internet
FAQ
- What is the LSD Web Data Extraction MCP server?
- LSD Web Data Extraction is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for LSD Web Data Extraction?
- This profile displays 59 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.6 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
