Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Web search, browser automation, scraping, crawling and CAPTCHA solving for AI agents.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Web & browsers
  • You need to fill in: SCRAPELESS_API_KEY, x-api-token

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: SCRAPELESS_API_KEY, x-api-token

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapeless": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "scrapeless-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http scrapeless https://api.scrapeless.com/mcp --header 'x-api-token: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add scrapeless --env SCRAPELESS_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y scrapeless-mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapeless": {
      "url": "https://api.scrapeless.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-token": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapeless": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "scrapeless-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "scrapeless": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.scrapeless.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-token": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "scrapeless": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "scrapeless-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Common questions

Is Scrapeless MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SCRAPELESS_API_KEY, x-api-token

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.6.4) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

Scrapeless MCP Server

Welcome to the official Scrapeless Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server — a powerful integration layer that empowers LLMs, AI Agents, and AI applications to interact with the web in real time.

Built on the open MCP standard, Scrapeless MCP Server seamlessly connects models like ChatGPT, Claude, and tools like Cursor and Windsurf to a wide range of external capabilities, including:

  • Google services integration (Search, Trends)
  • Browser automation for page-level navigation and interaction
  • Scrape dynamic, JS-heavy sites—export as HTML, Markdown, or screenshots
  • Crawl entire websites by following links and capture each page in multiple formats
  • AI Scraper Create an AI Scraper task for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview, Grok, or Alexa

Whether you're building an AI research assistant, a coding copilot, or autonomous web agents, this server provides the dynamic context and real-world data your workflows need—without getting blocked.

Usage Examples

  1. Automated Web Interaction and Data Extraction with Claude

Using Scrapeless MCP Browser, Claude can perform complex tasks such as web navigation, clicking, scrolling, and scraping through conversational commands, with real-time preview of web interaction results via live sessions.

  1. Bypassing Cloudflare to Retrieve Target Page Content

Using the Scrapeless MCP Browser service, the Cloudflare page is automatically accessed, and after the process is completed, the page content is extracted and returned in Markdown format.

  1. Extracting Dynamically Rendered Page Content and Writing to File

Using the Scrapeless MCP Universal API, the JavaScript-rendered content of the target page above is scraped, exported in Markdown format, and finally written to a local file named `text.md`.

  1. Automated SERP Scraping

Using the Scrapeless MCP Server, query the keyword “web scraping” on Google Search, retrieve the first 10 search results (including title, link, and summary), and write the content to the file named serp.text.

Here are some additional examples of how to use these servers:

Example
Search scrapeless by Google search.
Find the search interest for "AI" over the last year.
Use a browser to visit chatgpt.com, search for "What's the weather like today?", and summarize the results.
Scrape the HTML content of scrapeless.com page.
Scrape the Markdown content of scrapeless.com page.
Get screenshots of scrapeless.com.

Setup Guide

  1. Get Scrapeless Key
  • Log in to the Scrapeless Dashboard(Free trial available)
  • Then click "Setting" on the left -> select "API Key Management" -> click "Create API Key". Finally, click the API Key you created to copy it.
  1. Configure Your MCP Client

Scrapeless MCP Server supports both Stdio and Streamable HTTP transport modes.

🖥️ Stdio (Local Execution)

{

"mcpServers": { "Scrapeless MCP Server": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "scrapeless-mcp-server"], "env": { "SCRAPELESS_API_KEY": "YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY" } } } }

🌐 Streamable HTTP (Hosted API Mode)

{

"mcpServers": { "Scrapeless MCP Server": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://api.scrapeless.com/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-token": "YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY" }, "disabled": false, "alwaysAllow": [] } } }

Advanced Options

Customize browser session behavior with optional parameters. These can be set via environment variables (for Stdio) or HTTP headers (for Streamable HTTP):

Stdio (Env Var)Streamable HTTP (HTTP Header)Description
BROWSER_PROFILE_IDx-browser-profile-idSpecifies a reusable browser profile ID for session continuity.
BROWSER_PROFILE_PERSISTx-browser-profile-persistEnables persistent storage for cookies, local storage, etc.
BROWSER_SESSION_TTLx-browser-session-ttlDefines the maximum session timeout in seconds. The session will automatically expire after this duration of inactivity.

Integration with Claude Desktop

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Navigate to: Settings → Tools → MCP Servers
  3. Click "Add MCP Server"
  4. Paste either the Stdio or Streamable HTTP config above
  5. Save and enable the server
  6. Claude will now be able to issue web queries, extract content, and interact with pages using Scrapeless

Integration with Cursor IDE

  1. Open Cursor
  2. Press Cmd + Shift + P and search for: Configure MCP Servers
  3. Add the Scrapeless MCP config using the format above
  4. Save the file and restart Cursor (if needed)

Security Best Practices

When using Scrapeless MCP Server with LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor), it's critical to handle all scraped or extracted web content with care. Web data is untrusted by default, and improper handling may expose your application to prompt injection or other security vulnerabilities.

✅ Recommended Practices
  • Never pass raw scraped content directly into LLM prompts. Raw HTML, JavaScript, or user-generated text may contain hidden injection payloads.
  • Sanitize and validate all extracted content. Strip or escape potentially harmful tags and scripts before using content in downstream logic or AI models.
  • Prefer structured extraction to free-form text. Use tools like scrape_html, scrape_markdown, or targeted browser_get_text with known-safe selectors to extract only the content you trust.
  • Apply domain or selector whitelisting when scraping dynamically generated pages, to restrict data flow to known and trusted sources.
  • Log and monitor all outbound requests made via browser or scraping tools, especially if you're handling sensitive data, tokens, or internal network access.
🚫 Avoid
  • Injecting scraped HTML directly into prompts
  • Letting users specify arbitrary URLs or CSS selectors without validation
  • Storing unfiltered scraped content for future prompt usage
