delete_crawl
Permanently delete a crawl from the database
How to use it
Project documentation lists delete_crawl for the Screaming Frog MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
