How does this MCP handle websites that block scrapers?

It uses premium rotating proxies and headless browsers to mimic human behavior and bypass blocks.

Can I scrape websites that use a lot of JavaScript?

Yes, the scrape_html capability includes full JavaScript rendering to ensure all content loads before extraction.

What format will the data be in?

You can request the content as raw HTML, clean Markdown, or plain text depending on what your agent needs.

Do I need to manage my own proxies?

No, the MCP handles all proxy rotation and infrastructure management automatically.

Which AI clients can use this?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I extract specific data from a page using natural language instead of CSS selectors?

Yes! Use the scrape_html capability and provide your request in the ai_query parameter. The server will use ScrapingBee's AI capabilities to parse the HTML and return exactly what you asked for.

How do I handle websites that require JavaScript to load content?

The scrape_html capability has render_js enabled by default. You can also use wait or wait_for parameters to ensure the page is fully loaded before the data is captured.

Can I get structured results from Google Search directly?

Absolutely. Use the search_google capability with your query. It returns structured JSON containing organic results, ads, and related searches, saving you from parsing search result pages manually.

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.

Automated Research

You ask your agent to summarize the top news results from a Google search.

Data Collection

A data scientist pulls content from a complex web app using JavaScript rendering.

Content Aggregation

Your agent scrapes YouTube or news sites to build a custom knowledge base.

Automate a task

Put ScrapingBee to work on one thing.

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.
