Overview

What is Context.dev?

Context.dev is for developers building AI agents, RAG pipelines or research tools that need web content as clean Markdown rather than raw HTML. Its one job: a single API (with SDKs, a CLI and an MCP server) that scrapes any URL with automatic browser rendering and proxy escalation at a stated 99.96% success rate, searches the live web, maps and crawls whole domains in batches, returns sourced answers to research questions and monitors pages for changes. Customers named on the site include Mintlify and SiteGPT, which moved its crawling off Firecrawl. Where it falls short: it is infrastructure with no end-user UI, the Free tier is capped at 1,000 credits and two concurrent requests, and production agent fleets will move through Pro ($99) into Growth ($299) and Scale ($499) quickly.

Good for
  • Agent builders who need scrape, search and crawl behind one API key
  • Teams feeding documentation or support bots from whole websites
  • Research agents that need answers with sources, not just pages
Watch out for
  • Credits are the only meter: a large crawl or heavy use of Answers can burn a month's allowance fast
  • No overage on Free; paid tiers meter overage from $2.20 down to $1.00 per 1,000 credits
  • Developer tool only: there is no chat or dashboard for non-technical users
