About Crawlbase MCP Server
Connect your Crawlbase (formerly ProxyCrawl) account to any AI agent and take full control of your web scraping and anonymous crawling workflows through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Crawlbase into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Crawlbase and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Standard Scraper — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless engine to extract explicitly attached HTML content via datacenter proxies
- JS Rendering — Discover disconnected physical limits tracking exactly what JS-rendered frames expose to extract exact single-page UI bounds
- Structured JSON Extraction — Analyzes specific global bounds driving auto-extraction pipelines to force raw HTTP outputs into structured JSON format strictly
- Screenshot Capture — Dispatch automated validation checks to generate valid proxy endpoints returning configured Crawlbase screenshot URLs
- Specialized Scraping — Leverage dedicated algorithms for Amazon products, LinkedIn profiles, Facebook pages, and Twitter (X) graph profiles natively
- Search Engine Discovery — Explain explicitly mapped proxy lists targeting Google domains to parse SERP limits and bypass CAPTCHAs limitlessly
- Custom Proxy Management — Provision highly-available request payloads generating custom proxies with specific headers and crawling logic
The Crawlbase MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the Crawlbase MCP Server
Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Crawlbase through the Model Context Protocol.
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Crawlbase + Cursor Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Crawlbase MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP
Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically
Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates
Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data
