How to Use the ZenRows MCP in Mastra AI
Build reliable workflows with Mastra AI using ZenRows web scraping tools.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect ZenRows MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect ZenRows to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Reliable Data Retrieval for Mastra AI
The `scrape_html` tool is your main workhorse. ZenRows automatically rotates proxies and handles CAPTCHAs, giving you reliable raw HTML even when the source site fights back. For high-stakes data extraction within a workflow, use `scrape_premium`. This sets premium proxy access, boosting anonymity and making sure your multi-step process doesn't hit rate limits.
Custom Scraping for Mastra AI MCP Server
Need to scrape something super specific? The `scrape_custom` tool lets you define advanced parameters, including CSS selectors and session IDs. This gives your workflow the granular control it needs. If your data is highly protected, remember `scrape_antibot`. It enables JS rendering and bypasses bot detection, ensuring that complex workflows don't stall out on blocked pages.
Structured Content for Mastra AI
The `scrape_autoparse` tool automatically structures messy web content. Instead of dealing with a giant blob of text, your workflow gets organized data it can process and act upon. When you combine this with `get_screenshot`, your agent can first visually confirm the page state before running its next conditional step.
