# Deploy and Host Webclaw [Aug '26] on Railway

Webclaw scrapes web pages and returns clean markdown or structured data over a REST API. Written in Rust, so it starts fast and handles concurrent requests without breaking a sweat. Ships with an MCP server for AI agent integration.

## About Hosting Webclaw

Single Rust binary in a Docker container. No database, no external services. Point it at a URL, get markdown back. The API runs on port 3000 and accepts scrape, crawl, and search requests.

## Common Use Cases

- Feed web content to AI agents through the MCP server
- Crawl sites and extract structured data for pipelines
- Replace Firecrawl or Tavily with something you control

## Dependencies for Webclaw Hosting

- No external dependencies. Single binary, no runtime.
- Optional: set WEBCLAW_API_KEY for authenticated access

## Why Deploy Webclaw on Railway?

Railway hosts your infrastructure so you skip configuration. One click to deploy a persistent scraping API that your agents and workflows call around the clock.
