What is the Crawlbase MCP Server?
Connect your Crawlbase (formerly ProxyCrawl) account to any AI agent and take full control of your web scraping and anonymous crawling workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Standard Scraper — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless engine to extract explicitly attached HTML content via datacenter proxies
- JS Rendering — Discover disconnected physical limits tracking exactly what JS-rendered frames expose to extract exact single-page UI bounds
- Structured JSON Extraction — Analyzes specific global bounds driving auto-extraction pipelines to force raw HTTP outputs into structured JSON format strictly
- Screenshot Capture — Dispatch automated validation checks to generate valid proxy endpoints returning configured Crawlbase screenshot URLs
- Specialized Scraping — Leverage dedicated algorithms for Amazon products, LinkedIn profiles, Facebook pages, and Twitter (X) graph profiles natively
- Search Engine Discovery — Explain explicitly mapped proxy lists targeting Google domains to parse SERP limits and bypass CAPTCHAs limitlessly
- Custom Proxy Management — Provision highly-available request payloads generating custom proxies with specific headers and crawling logic
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Crawlbase Normal Token and your optional JavaScript Token (found in your Crawlbase Dashboard)
- Start scraping and crawling from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — extract structured web data and search engine results without writing complex scraping scripts
- Growth Hackers — monitor competitor products on Amazon or social profiles on LinkedIn and Twitter in real-time
- Developers — test and debug web extraction pipelines and JS-rendering logic through natural conversation
- Market Researchers — perform deep web crawls and capture snapshots of target sites for offline analysis

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Crawlbase into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Crawlbase and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
When should I use the JavaScript (JS) Token versus the Normal Token?
Use the Normal Token for fast, static HTML extraction. Switch to the JavaScript Token when the target site uses frameworks like React or Angular, where content is rendered dynamically in the browser. The 'scrape_js_rendered' tool requires the JS Token to function.
Can my agent bypass CAPTCHAs while scraping Google or LinkedIn?
Yes. Crawlbase is built to handle CAPTCHAs and blocks natively. When you use specialized tools like 'scrape_google_serp' or 'scrape_linkedin', the agent routes your requests through Crawlbase's advanced proxy infrastructure to ensure successful data extraction.
How do I get a structured JSON response instead of raw HTML?
Use the 'scrape_json_format' tool or the specialized scraper tools (Amazon, LinkedIn, etc.). These trigger Crawlbase's auto-extraction pipelines, which analyze the page structure and return specific data fields in a clean JSON format.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
