What is the Scrapfly MCP Server?
Connect your Scrapfly account to any AI agent and take full control of your web data extraction and scraping orchestration through natural conversation. Scrapfly provides a professional-grade scraping API that combines headless browser rendering, premium residential proxies, and AI-driven data extraction, and this integration allows you to retrieve raw HTML, take element-level screenshots, and convert pages into structured JSON directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Stealth Scraper Orchestration — Retrieve clean HTML from any website while bypassing Cloudflare, Akamai, and other anti-bot systems programmatically.
- AI-Driven Data Extraction — Use LLM-powered extraction models to transform complex web pages into structured JSON data directly from the AI interface.
- Visual Intelligence — Capture full-page or element-specific screenshots with support for dark mode and ad-blocking via natural language.
- Proxy & Region Control — Access millions of residential proxies across 50+ countries to ensure your data collection is always localized and reliable.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity, monitor API credit consumption, and manage project metadata using simple AI commands.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically extract structured JSON from a web page using Scrapfly?
Yes! Use the ai_data_extraction tool. Provide the URL and optionally a model or prompt, and your agent will return the parsed data in structured JSON format instantly.
How do I use residential proxies to bypass anti-bot systems?
Simply ask the agent to run the web_scrape action. Scrapfly handles anti-bot (ASP) and premium proxy rotation automatically based on the site's security level.
How do I find my Scrapfly API Key?
Log in to your Scrapfly account, navigate to the Dashboard, and you will find your unique secret API key prominently displayed.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Scrapfly tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
