amenbo MCP server

Let your AI read Japanese web pages in small, token-friendly pieces instead of dumping whole pages into the chat.

amenbo is a small helper that lets your AI assistant open web pages and bring back just the parts you need. It is built with Japanese sites in mind, so pages that usually come back as garbled text or messy blobs tend to work better here. It is handy if you often ask your AI to look things up on Japanese websites.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program you connect once, and it gives your AI a new skill. This one gives your AI the ability to fetch web pages, list links, and take screenshots. So when you ask about a page, the AI quietly uses amenbo to go get the content and then answers you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "what does this page say about pricing?" and give it a web address. The AI passes that address to amenbo, which fetches the page politely and turns it into clean text. For long pages, amenbo can first show just the headings and how big each part is, so the AI can pick only the section you care about. It also handles Japanese text encodings, removes furigana clutter, and can take a screenshot when a page is mostly images. If you ask about the same page again and nothing changed, it tells the AI so instead of repeating everything.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What does this page say about pricing?”, the amenbo MCP server connects it to Web page, and you get back clean text in your chat.

Try asking your AI

“Summarize this Japanese news article for me: <url>”
“Show me the outline of this long page first, then the pricing section”
“List the blog links on this site that mention 料金”
“Take a screenshot of this page so I can see the layout”

What it gives back to you

You get back text in the chat: a summary, a list of headings, a single section, or a list of links. Screenshots come back as images you can look at. If a page has not changed since you last fetched it, the AI just tells you that instead of repeating the whole thing. Sometimes you get only the parts that changed.

Before you start

What you need

Node.js installed on your computer
The amenbo package installed (npm install -g amenbo)
A one-time browser download if you want screenshots (npx -y amenbo install-browser)

Good to know

It only reads public web pages and will not bypass sites that block bots, so some pages simply will not load.
