How do I bypass bot detection with this MCP?

The MCP uses ScrapingBee's stealth mode and premium proxy rotation to mimic human behavior and avoid blocks.

Can I scrape websites that use a lot of JavaScript?

Yes. You can use the scrape_with_js capability to enable full headless browser rendering for dynamic sites.

Do I need to write code to extract data?

No. You can use natural language to tell your AI agent exactly what data to pull using the AI extraction capabilities.

How do I check if I have enough credits left?

You can simply ask your AI agent to check your usage or credit balance using the built-in usage capabilities.

Which AI clients can I use with this?

You can connect this MCP to any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can my AI automatically extract structured JSON from a web page using ScrapingBee?

Yes! Use the extract_data capability. You can provide standard extraction rules or set ai=true to let ScrapingBee's AI models identify and parse the data fields you need automatically.

How do I use premium or residential proxies for high-security sites?

Simply include premium_proxy: true in your scrape_general parameters. This will route your request through residential IPs, making it much harder for anti-bot systems to detect and block.

How do I find my ScrapingBee API Key?

Log in to your ScrapingBee dashboard, and your API Key will be clearly visible in the Credentials section on the main page.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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

ScrapingBee 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 ScrapingBee 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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