What it does
Scrapeless MCP Server integrates browser automation and web scraping into Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents. It handles real-time web navigation (click, scroll, submit forms), extracts content from JavaScript-heavy pages (returning HTML, Markdown, or screenshots), queries Google Search and Trends, and bypasses blocking mechanisms like Cloudflare. Extracted content is returned directly to your LLM for processing.
Who it's for
Claude and Cursor users building autonomous web agents, AI researchers assembling models that need live internet access, and developers creating AI applications that perform multi-step browser workflows or extract real-time data from dynamic pages.
Common use cases
- Automate multi-step browser interactions (navigate, search, click, extract) from conversational prompts
- Scrape JavaScript-rendered content that static HTML scrapers cannot access
- Extract and analyze Google Search results (titles, links, summaries) programmatically
- Capture screenshots of web pages for visual analysis or verification
- Retrieve Markdown or HTML versions of web pages for LLM processing
Setup pitfalls
- Requires a Scrapeless API key from their dashboard (free trial available); create one in Settings → API Key Management
- Two transport modes (Stdio and HTTP) require different configuration formats; ensure your MCP client config matches your chosen transport
- Browser session state depends on optional environment variables (
BROWSER_PROFILE_PERSIST,BROWSER_SESSION_TTL); set these if you need cross-request continuity - Last commit 246 days ago—verify active maintenance before production use
