Run custom scrapers in Claude Desktop

Trigger `run_scraper` directly from your chat window to pull fresh data from any site. You get the output exactly where you need it for your analysis. Keep track of what's happening using `list_scraping_jobs` and `get_scraping_job` to confirm the process finished. This MCP Server handles the heavy lifting while you stay focused on the conversation.

Manage your scraping infrastructure

Check your account status with `get_account_balance` to make sure you have enough credits before starting a crawl. It keeps your workspace tidy by letting you view all active configurations. Use `list_scrapers` or `list_blueprints` to see what tools you have ready. You can grab specific details about any setup using `get_scraper` or `get_blueprint` without ever leaving Claude.

Target specific web locations

Find where your requests are coming from by calling `list_proxy_locations`. It gives you control over the geographic origin of your scraping tasks. Perform a `direct_scrape` if you just need a quick look at a single URL. This toolset makes Browserhub a reliable source of truth within your chat history.
