Overview

What is Lionscraper Mcp?

LionScraper MCP is a bridge that connects AI apps (e.g. Cursor) to the LionScraper browser extension, enabling web scraping via MCP, CLI, or HTTP API. It is for developers who want to collect lists, articles, links, and images from web pages using natural language or scripts.

How to use Lionscraper Mcp?

Install the Node.js or Python package (npm install -g lionscraper or pip install -U lionscraper). In an MCP-compatible AI app, add a server configuration with command lionscraper-mcp. Ensure the LionScraper browser extension is installed and the bridge port (default 13808) matches in both extension settings and MCP env variables.

Key features of Lionscraper Mcp

Three interfaces: MCP, CLI, and HTTP API.
Scrapes lists, articles, links, images from web pages.
Works with Chrome and Edge browser extensions.
Available as Node.js (npm) and Python (pip) packages.
Configurable timeout, language, and auth token.
Automatic fallback to HTTP fetch if browser not detected.

Use cases of Lionscraper Mcp

AI coding assistant scraping data from web pages during development.
Automated list and article extraction via CLI scripts.
Integration with HTTP clients for custom scraping workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Extension not connected or scrape fails?

Check that the extension is enabled, the bridge port matches the `PORT` env variable, and only one MCP config per machine is running.

Seeing MCP tools in the client means everything works?

No, tools only prove AI-to-bridge connectivity; the extension must also register on the same port.

What runtimes are required?

Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+.

How to install without global install?

Use npx in the MCP config: `"npx -y lionscraper lionscraper-mcp"` as command and args.

What is the default port and timeout?

Default `PORT` is 13808, default `TIMEOUT` is 120000 ms (2 minutes).
