What is the Scrapi MCP MCP server?

MCP server for using ScrAPI to scrape web pages. That is what the scrapi mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

ScrAPI MCP Server lets MCP-compatible clients scrape web pages through ScrAPI.

  • Scrape any valid https:// or http:// URL through ScrAPI
  • Return either raw HTML or readable Markdown
  • Run browser commands before scraping
  • Use stdio transport for desktop MCP clients
  • Use Streamable HTTP transport for remote MCP clients and local testing
  • Run with npx, Docker, Smithery, or from source

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 13 tools. What each one is for:

  • Long — running pages, CAPTCHA flows, and heavy JavaScript pages can take several minutes
  • Click — {"click": "#buttonId"}
  • Input — {"input": {"input[name='email']": "value"}}
  • Select — {"select": {"select[name='country']": "USA"}}
  • Scroll — {"scroll": 1000}
  • Wait — {"wait": 5000}
  • WaitFor — {"waitfor": "#elementId"}
  • JavaScript — {"javascript": "console.log('test')"}
  • scrape_url_html — Use this when you need the page structure, links, tables, embedded metadata, or custom downstream parsing
  • scrape_url_markdown — Use this when the text content matters more than the HTML structure, for example article extraction, product copy, search result summaries, or
  • Cursor — Cursor supports project configuration at .cursor/mcp.json and global configuration at ~/.cursor/mcp.json. See the [Cursor MCP
  • Windsurf — Windsurf Cascade stores MCP servers in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. You can also add servers from Windsurf Settings > Cascade > MCP Servers

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: SCRAPI_API_KEY, YOUR_API_KEY. 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.

Choose one of the following runtime options: - Node.js 18 or newer for npx or local development. - Docker for container-based usage. - An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector, or another client that supports stdio or Streamable HTTP MCP servers.

How it compares

Plenty of knowledge and memory 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. Scrapi MCP's toolset — Long, Click, Input and 10 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by DevEnterpriseSoftware; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 13 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Scrapi MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

scrape_url_markdownUse this when the text content matters more than the HTML structure, for example article extraction, product copy, search result summaries, or LLM-friendly page analysis.
CursorCursor supports project configuration at .cursor/mcp.json and global configuration at ~/.cursor/mcp.json. See the [Cursor MCP documentation](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol).
WindsurfWindsurf Cascade stores MCP servers in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. You can also add servers from Windsurf Settings > Cascade > MCP Servers. See the [Windsurf MCP documentation](https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf
CodexCodex supports MCP servers in the CLI and IDE extension. Both use the same MCP configuration. By default, Codex stores it in ~/.codex/config.toml; trusted projects can also use .codex/config.toml. See the [Codex MCP docu

Frequently asked questions

It connects Scrapi MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 13 tools (Long, Click, Input, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Scrapi MCP directly.
