Integrates Scraper.is with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for web scraping capabilities in AI assistants.
Scraper.Is MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Integrates Scraper.is with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for web scraping capabilities in 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.
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Once Scraper.Is is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
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 serverYou will need 2 environment variables: SCRAPERIS_API_KEY, DEBUG. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
You need a Scraper.is API key to use this package.
Plenty of search and retrieval servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Scraper.Is'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.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
