Overview

What is Scrapfly MCP Server?

Scrapfly MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that provides live web data access with anti-bot handling, structured data extraction, screenshot capture, and secure authentication. It integrates with AI tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, OpenAI function calling, n8n, Make, and Zapier, enabling AI agents to scrape and process web content programmatically.

How to use Scrapfly MCP Server?

Configure the server by adding an entry to your AI tool's MCP configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json). Use npx mcp-remote https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp for OAuth2 authentication, or append ?key=YOUR-API-KEY for API key authentication. After restarting the tool, invoke scraping through five available MCP tools: instructions (guidance and required parameters), web_get_page (quick fetch), web_scrape (full‑control scraping), screenshot (visual capture), and info_account (account details).
