About ScrapingBee MCP Server
Connect your ScrapingBee account to any AI agent and take full control of your web data extraction and stealth scraping orchestration through natural conversation. ScrapingBee provides a robust scraping API that handles headless browsers, rotating proxies, and automated CAPTCHA solving, and this integration allows you to retrieve raw HTML, take screenshots, and use AI-driven extraction rules directly from your chat interface.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple ScrapingBee tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Stealth Scraper Orchestration — Retrieve raw HTML from any website while bypassing anti-bot systems and CAPTCHAs programmatically.
- JavaScript Rendering Control — Toggle headless browser rendering to extract data from modern, dynamic SPAs directly from the AI interface.
- AI-Driven Data Extraction — Use AI extraction rules to parse complex web pages into structured JSON data via natural language.
- Premium Proxy Intelligence — Access residential and premium proxies to scrape high-security websites without risk of IP blocking.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity and monitor API credit consumption using simple AI commands.
The ScrapingBee MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
