Can the scraper handle JavaScript-heavy websites like React or Vue apps?

Yes. Enable js_render=true on the universal scraper and Oxylabs runs a headless Chromium instance that executes all client-side JavaScript before extracting the HTML. This handles SPAs, lazy-loaded content, and dynamically rendered components.

How does it handle anti-bot protection?

Oxylabs manages a global residential and datacenter proxy network with automatic IP rotation, browser fingerprinting, and CAPTCHA solving. The API handles all proxy management transparently — you just send the URL and receive structured data back. No proxy configuration needed on your end.

Can I scrape Amazon in different countries — like amazon.de or amazon.co.jp?

Yes. Both Amazon search and product scrapers accept a domain parameter (com, de, co.jp, co.uk, fr, it, es, etc.). The parser adapts to the regional layout and returns localized pricing, availability, and seller data specific to that marketplace.

Oxylabs + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Oxylabs MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
