How to Use the Browserhub MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline automatically select proxy locations for Browserhub?

Yes, Cline uses listproxylocations to find the correct regional gateway. It passes this location to the extraction job so you can bypass geo-restrictions without writing custom proxy code.

Q: How does Cline handle failures when running a Browserhub scraper?

The agent checks the status using getscrapingjob to find the error code. If a selector failed, Cline can edit the blueprint or try a directscrape to bypass the broken element.

Q: Can I view my Browserhub account balance inside the Cline interface?

Yes, Cline calls getaccountbalance to check your remaining credits. It displays this number directly in the chat window so you know exactly how much budget you have left.

Perplexity

Build UI components with live data using this MCP Server

The `run_scraper` tool starts structured extraction jobs so Cline can fetch real-world data for your components. Your agent triggers the job and waits for the payload to arrive. Once done, the agent calls `get_scraping_job` to pull the structured JSON. Cline then writes the code to display this data in your frontend application without you copying a single line.

Direct URL scraping straight to your workspace

Accessing raw web content is handled by the `direct_scrape` tool. Cline runs this tool when it needs to read documentation pages or API references that aren't in its training data. To monitor your usage limits during long coding sessions, the agent checks `get_account_balance`. This keeps your automated tasks from stopping unexpectedly mid-build.

Inspect scraper configurations inside Cline

The `list_scrapers` tool lets Cline discover what active extractors are available over the MCP channel. The agent reads this list to pick the right parser for the task at hand. If it needs to drill down, `get_scraper` reveals the exact CSS selectors and target fields. This allows Cline to debug scraping issues or update your frontend parsers to match the incoming data structure.
