About ParseHub MCP Server
Bring ParseHub Cloud Scraping directly into your AI workflows. Manage pre-configured web scraping targets natively and orchestrate complex headless browser automation directly from chat. Dispatch run jobs on command, query execution status limits, and extract final parsed payloads securely.
Claude Code registers ParseHub as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly — ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where ParseHub data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Project Navigation — Inspect and list configured ParseHub projects, determining start URLs, templates, and total crawler pages attached
- Execution Dispatch — Command remote servers to trigger specific headless data extraction jobs
run_projectoptionally overriding starting URLs natively - Observability Tracing — Monitor exactly where a
Runobject is (queued, initialized, running, complete) without checking the desktop app - Payload Extraction — Pull down structured arrays containing the scraped payloads securely via
get_run_datamatching explicit datasets

Why Use Claude Code with the ParseHub MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with ParseHub through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly — no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using ParseHub tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
ParseHub + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the ParseHub MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed ParseHub tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query ParseHub nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe ParseHub outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query ParseHub status endpoints and alert on anomalies
ParseHub MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect ParseHub to Claude Code via MCP:
cancel_run
If the run was already scraping pages, partial data may be available. Data from already-scraped pages is preserved and can be retrieved with get_run_data. Use this to stop long-running scrapes or free up queue slots. Cancel a queued or actively running ParseHub run
delete_run
Cannot be undone. Use this to clean up old runs and free up storage quota on your account. Permanently delete a ParseHub run and its extracted data
get_last_ready_data
Ideal for dashboards or integrations that always want the freshest available data without managing individual run tokens. Instantly get the latest completed data for a ParseHub project
get_project
The project_token can be found via list_projects or in the ParseHub desktop client settings tab. Get detailed configuration of a specific ParseHub project
get_run_data
Only works when the run status is "complete" and data_ready is true. The JSON structure mirrors the template selection configuration set up in the ParseHub desktop client. Download the raw JSON data extracted from a completed ParseHub run
get_run_details
Poll this endpoint to wait for a run to complete before fetching data. Check the status of a specific ParseHub run
list_projects
Each project includes a project_token (unique identifier), title, last_run timestamp, and template configuration. Use the project_token for all subsequent run management operations. List all ParseHub web scraping projects
list_runs
Useful for auditing or finding a specific completed run to fetch data from. Get the history of all runs for a ParseHub project
run_project
Returns a run_token for tracking progress. The run enters a queue and begins processing within seconds. Use get_run to monitor and get_run_data to retrieve results once complete. Start a new ParseHub scraping run for a project
run_project_with_url
Perfect for scraping different pages with the same template (e.g., different product categories). The template extraction rules still apply unchanged — only the starting page changes. Start a ParseHub run targeting a custom URL instead of the project default
Example Prompts for ParseHub in Claude Code
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Code agent to start working with ParseHub immediately.
"Fetch the list of scrape projects I have on my ParseHub account."
"Start a new run for project 't9zx...' and check its status."
"Extract the finished data JSON payload from run ID 'run_k1l'."
