Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Scraper.is - A web scraping tool for AI assistants
Most search and retrieval work still happens through a UI a human drives. Scaperis MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for Scraper.is - A web scraping tool for AI assistants.
This package allows AI assistants to scrape web content through the MCP protocol, enabling them to access up-to-date information from the web.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverscrape — The scrape tool exposed by this serverSetup — 1. Clone the repository: bash git clone https://github.com/Ai-Quill/scraperis-mcp.git cd scraperis-mcpScripts — The Scripts tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: SCRAPERIS_API_KEY, DEBUG. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
You need a Scraper.is API key to use this package.
Among the search and retrieval options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Scaperis MCP's toolset — Tools, scrape, Setup and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Ai-Quill; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
