What is the MCP Server?
The ScrapeOps MCP Server exposes the ScrapeOps Proxy API to MCP-compatible IDEs (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf). It gives AI agents first-class scraping and browsing tools with proxy support, anti-bot bypass, JavaScript rendering, screenshots, and LLM-powered extraction.
Key features:
- Web browsing via the ScrapeOps Proxy API (with geo-targeting and residential/mobile IPs)
- Anti-bot bypass levels (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, generic levels)
- JavaScript rendering for dynamic sites
- Screenshots (base64)
- Structured extraction (auto or LLM schemas) to return clean JSON
- Optimize-request logic to auto-test proxies and reuse the best-performing ones per site
