Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my scraping proxies and credits?

Your AI uses Browserhub to check your remaining credits and pull a list of available proxy locations. You can then tell your agent to pick a specific country or region to avoid being blocked. This keeps your scraping budget in check and your requests looking human.

The outcomes

What you get from this connection

Once connected, your AI handles the logistics of your scraping setup.

BUDGET

Track proxy credits

The AI uses get_account_balance to see how much credit you have left. You'll know exactly when you're running low before a job fails.

LOCATION

Select proxy regions

Your agent uses list_proxy_locations to find the right IP addresses. You can request specific countries to bypass regional blocks.

LOGISTICS

Automate proxy selection

Instead of manual rotation, your AI picks the best available location based on your scraping goals. This reduces the time spent configuring requests.

HUMAN

Manual overrides

The AI identifies when a location is unavailable or credits are empty. You decide when to top up or change your scraping strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves from checking your resources to selecting the right tools for the job.

  1. Check your balance

    The AI first looks at your current credit status to ensure you have enough for the task.

    get_account_balance

  2. Find available locations

    It scans the available proxy pools to see which countries or cities are online.

    list_proxy_locations

  3. Match location to goal

    The AI compares your target website's requirements against the available proxy list.

    list_proxy_locations

  4. Report status

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI buy more credits for me?

    No. The AI can only check your current balance using get_account_balance. You must handle all payments and credit purchases manually.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my proxy password?

    No. This MCP only provides tools to check balances and list locations. It cannot modify your account settings or security credentials.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which proxies to use?

    It uses list_proxy_locations to see what is available and then selects a location based on the instructions you give it in chat.

  • 04

    Will the AI use all my credits at once?

    No. The AI only checks the balance. It doesn't execute the scraping itself; it just provides the proxy information you need to run your scripts.

  • 05

    Can I see a list of all countries?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to list all available proxy locations to see which countries are supported.
