About Webshare MCP Server
Connect your Webshare account to any AI agent and take full control of your proxy infrastructure through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Webshare data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Proxy Management — List all assigned residential and datacenter proxy IPs, including ports, credentials, and health status
- IP Authorization — Audit and manage your whitelist of authorized IP addresses to grant proxy access to new servers instantly
- Rotation Control — Retrieve current proxy rotation and backbone network settings to ensure your crawlers are configured correctly
- Real-Time Stats — Monitor your bandwidth consumption and request success/failure rates directly from your agent
- Immediate Replacement — Request instant proxy replacements for flagged or blocked IPs within your account quota
- Quota Monitoring — Check your account profile, plan limits, and remaining bandwidth before starting large-scale data tasks
- High-Speed Export — Generate temporary tokens to export and download your entire proxy list in a single request
