How to Use the Webshare MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I pipe Webshare data into a cron job using Claude Code?

You first run the tool, say listproxies, and pipe that structured output to your subsequent command. This keeps your CI/CD pipeline fully automated without needing manual steps.

Q: Can I use Webshare credentials in a headless script with Claude Code?

Yes. You can run exportproxylist to get the temporary token, download all proxy details (IPs, ports, credentials), and pass those into your scripted job payload.

Q: What is the best way to track bandwidth usage with Webshare using Claude Code?

Run getbandwidthstats. The output provides historical request totals and bandwidth metrics that you can immediately pipe into a logging service or database for auditing.

Automate Proxy Health Checks via MCP Server

Need to validate proxies before a scheduled job runs? The MCP Server lets you script status checks. Run `list_proxies` to get a machine-readable list of IPs, ports, credentials, and the current health status for all assigned proxy IPs. If an IP fails validation, your shell script can then trigger a replacement using `request_proxy_replacement`, subject to quotas.

Audit Webshare Access with Claude Code

For security pipelines, you need proof of access control. Use the MCP Server's `list_authorized_ips` tool to generate a definitive log of IPs allowed without passwords. You can also use `revoke_ip_authorization` if an IP needs immediate removal. Also, run `get_proxy_configuration` to script checks on backbone network changes.

Manage Webshare Quotas for CI/CD

Before a deployment starts, you must check the resource limits. The MCP Server exposes this through `get_account_profile`, giving you plan details and current bandwidth quotas—all in one terminal output. It's also smart to script checks on replacement limits using `get_replacement_quota` to prevent job failures mid-run.
