## Description

This MCP server provides web path scanning capabilities by integrating the dirsearch directory brute-forcing tool with Firecrawl web crawling services. Built as a Python-based server using fastmcp, it combines dirsearch's comprehensive path discovery engine (featuring 70+ report formats, recursive scanning, custom wordlists, and advanced filtering) with Firecrawl's web crawling infrastructure to enable automated discovery of hidden web directories, files, and endpoints. The implementation includes configurable host/port settings, supports multiple output formats including JSON, XML, CSV, and HTML reports, and leverages dirsearch's extensive feature set including custom extensions, authentication methods, proxy support, and dynamic content parsing. Designed for security researchers, penetration testers, and web developers who need programmatic access to directory enumeration and web reconnaissance capabilities through AI assistants.
