Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ScraperAPI works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ScraperAPI to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of ScraperAPI, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ScraperAPI. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work ScraperAPI owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to feed real-time web data into their AI workflows.

  • 01

    Data Engineers

    They hand off massive, parallel scraping jobs to the agent to build datasets.

  • 02

    Growth Hackers

    They use the agent to monitor competitor pricing and product metadata on Amazon.

  • 03

    SEO Specialists

    They task the agent with checking Google SERP rankings and rich snippets globally.

FAQ

Questions ScraperAPI owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP handle bot detection?

    It uses a pool of millions of proxies and residential IPs to rotate identities, which helps bypass CAPTCHAs and anti-bot systems like Cloudflare.

  • 02

    Can I scrape sites that use React or Vue?

    Yes. You can use the scrape_js_rendered capability to ensure the agent sees the fully rendered page after the JavaScript has executed.

  • 03

    Does it work with Amazon and Google?

    Yes. There are specific capabilities designed to pull structured JSON data from Amazon product pages and Google search results.

  • 04

    What if a scrape takes a long time?

    You can use the asynchronous scraping capabilities to start a job in the background. This prevents your AI client from timing out while waiting for the data.

  • 05

    How do I see what the page looks like?

    You can use the screenshot capability, which provides a URL to a full-page image of the target website.

  • 06

    Can the agent bypass Cloudflare screens when scraping?

    Yes. If standard scraping (scrape_html) encounters a block, you can prompt the agent to 'Retry using premium proxies' (scrape_premium). This engages ScraperAPI's massive pool of residential IP addresses to mimic normal human traffic perfectly.

  • 07

    How can I extract pricing data directly from Amazon?

    Instead of attempting to parse Amazon's chaotic HTML structure, just ask your agent: 'Get the Amazon product details for ASIN B0BQK...'. The agent uses scrape_amazon to return structured JSON data, neatly outputting the item's price and stock availability.

  • 08

    Does the scraping capability consume my LLM context window linearly?

    Not if you use async jobs. For heavy pages, tell the agent 'Create an async job to scrape this URL'. It will return a Job ID (create_async_job), freeing up the chat. You can then ask the agent to 'check on the async job' (get_async_job) whenever you're ready.
