Short answer

How can my AI scrape sites that use captchas and bot detection?

Your AI uses ScrapingBee to mimic real user behavior through residential proxies and stealth mode. This allows your agent to pull data from high-security sites without getting blocked. You get clean data while the MCP handles the technical evasion.

The results.

What your AI achieves.

The results of connecting this MCP to your agent.

DATA

Clean scraped content

The AI pulls the exact HTML or JSON you need. It bypasses the walls that usually stop simple scrapers.

ACCESS

Unblocked requests

Your agent uses residential IPs to look like a human. This keeps your requests from being flagged as bot traffic.

STEALTH

Captcha avoidance

The AI navigates through security layers without needing to solve puzzles manually. It stays under the radar.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If a site uses extreme fingerprinting, you might need to check the output. The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you decide if the data is valid.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI manages the technical evasion so you can focus on the data.

  1. Identify targets

    Your agent looks at the URL you provided and determines the best way to access the content.

    scrape_with_stealth

  2. Rotate identities

    The AI switches between residential proxies to prevent the target site from seeing a pattern.

    scrape_with_proxy

  3. Bypass security

    The agent uses stealth mode to hide its automated nature from anti-bot systems.

    scrape_with_stealth

  4. Deliver data

    Once the wall is down, the AI extracts the specific information you asked for.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI solve captchas on its own?

    No. The AI uses stealth mode and proxies to avoid triggering captchas in the first place, but it does not solve them like a human would.

  • 02

    Does the AI store my scraped data?

    No. The AI retrieves the data and presents it to you in your chat interface. It does not save it to a database for you.

  • 03

    Will this work on any website?

    It works on most sites with standard anti-bot protections, but extremely aggressive security might still require human intervention.

  • 04

    Can the AI change the website's layout?

    No. The AI only reads and extracts data. It cannot modify the target website or interact with it in a way that changes its content.

  • 05

    How does it avoid being blocked?

    It uses scrape_with_proxy to rotate IP addresses and scrape_with_stealth to mask the automated fingerprint of the request.
