Can I scrape a URL directly without creating a scraper first?

Yes! Use the `direct_scrape` tool and provide the URL. It will use Browserhub's real browsers to render the page and extract data based on your parameters instantly.

How do I monitor the progress of a scraping job?

Simply ask the agent to `get_scraping_job` and provide the Job ID. It will return the current status (e.g., pending, running, finished) and the result data once ready.

Can I specify a proxy location for my scraping request?

Yes. When using `direct_scrape`, you can provide a `proxy_country` code. Use the `list_proxy_locations` tool to see the full list of supported countries in your account.

Common questions about integrating Browserhub MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Browserhub tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
