What is the Oxylabs MCP Server?
Give your AI agent the ability to extract structured data from any website with Oxylabs Web Scraping API. Scrape Google, Amazon, Bing, and Yandex with specialized parsers, or hit any arbitrary URL with the universal scraper — with optional headless browser rendering.
What you can do
- Universal Scraper — Extract HTML from any website. Enable JS rendering for single-page apps that require client-side execution
- Google Search — Parse Google SERPs with organic rankings, knowledge panels, ads, and featured snippets, localized by country TLD
- Google Shopping — Extract product listings with merchants, prices, reviews, and availability from Google Shopping
- Google Images — Pull image URLs, dimensions, and hosting origins from Google Image Search
- Google News — Extract time-indexed news articles with publishers and publication dates
- Amazon Search — Scrape Amazon product listings with ASINs, prices, Prime markers, and seller data across regional domains
- Amazon Product — Deep-extract individual product pages with variations, stock states, bullet points, and vendor hierarchies
- Bing Search — Parse Bing SERPs with organic web graph snippets
- Yandex Search — Extract rankings from the Yandex search engine for CIS/RU market analysis
- Custom Payload — Send fully customized Oxylabs schema payloads for advanced proxy and location configurations
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Oxylabs Username and Password

Who is this for?
- SEO teams — track keyword rankings across Google, Bing, and Yandex without managing proxy infrastructure
- E-commerce analysts — monitor competitor pricing and product availability on Amazon across regional markets
- Data engineers — extract structured web data at scale for market research, lead generation, or content indexing

Frequently asked questions
Can the scraper handle JavaScript-heavy websites like React or Vue apps?
Yes. Enable js_render=true on the universal scraper and Oxylabs runs a headless Chromium instance that executes all client-side JavaScript before extracting the HTML. This handles SPAs, lazy-loaded content, and dynamically rendered components.
How does it handle anti-bot protection?
Oxylabs manages a global residential and datacenter proxy network with automatic IP rotation, browser fingerprinting, and CAPTCHA solving. The API handles all proxy management transparently — you just send the URL and receive structured data back. No proxy configuration needed on your end.
Can I scrape Amazon in different countries — like amazon.de or amazon.co.jp?
Yes. Both Amazon search and product scrapers accept a domain parameter (com, de, co.jp, co.uk, fr, it, es, etc.). The parser adapts to the regional layout and returns localized pricing, availability, and seller data specific to that marketplace.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
