## 📖 Overview

The Oxylabs MCP server provides a bridge between AI models and the web. It enables them to scrape any URL, render JavaScript-heavy pages, extract and format content for AI use, manage CAPTCHA, and access geo-restricted web data from 195+ countries.

It is built on the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), the open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data.


## 🛠️ MCP Tools

Oxylabs MCP provides two sets of tools that can be used together or independently:

### Oxylabs Web Scraper API tools

1. **universal_scraper**: scrapes any URL, with optional JavaScript rendering, geo-targeting, and Markdown/HTML/links output;
2. **google_search_scraper**: extracts results from Google Search, with optional parsing into structured JSON;
3. **amazon_search_scraper**: scrapes Amazon search result pages, with optional parsing into structured JSON;
4. **amazon_product_scraper**: extracts data from individual Amazon product pages.

### Oxylabs AI Studio tools

5. **ai_scraper**: scrapes content from any URL with AI-powered extraction, in JSON, CSV, Markdown, or TOON format;
6. **ai_crawler**: crawls a website from a starting URL based on a prompt and collects data across multiple pages;
7. **ai_browser_agent**: controls a real browser based on a prompt — navigates, clicks, fills forms — and returns the result;
8. **ai_search**: searches the web and optionally returns Markdown content of each result;
9. **ai_map**: maps a website's URLs, filtered by keywords or a prompt;
10. **generate_schema**: generates an OpenAPI-format JSON schema for structured extraction with the AI tools above.


## ✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have **at least one** of the following:

- **Oxylabs Web Scraper API account**: obtain your username and password from [Oxylabs](https://dashboard.oxylabs.io/) (1-week free trial available);
- **Oxylabs AI Studio API key**: obtain your API key from [Oxylabs AI Studio](https://aistudio.oxylabs.io/settings/api-key) (1000 credits free).

You will also need the [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) package manager to run the server:

```bash
# macOS and Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```

```powershell
# Windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

## 📦 Configuration

### Environment variables

Oxylabs MCP server supports the following environment variables:

| Name                        | Description                                   | Default |
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------|
| `OXYLABS_USERNAME`          | Your Oxylabs Web Scraper API username         |         |
| `OXYLABS_PASSWORD`          | Your Oxylabs Web Scraper API password         |         |
| `OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY` | Your Oxylabs AI Studio API key                |         |
| `LOG_LEVEL`                 | Log level for the logs returned to the client | `INFO`  |

Based on the provided credentials, the server automatically exposes the corresponding tools:
- If only `OXYLABS_USERNAME` and `OXYLABS_PASSWORD` are provided, the server exposes the Web Scraper API tools;
- If only `OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY` is provided, the server exposes the AI Studio tools;
- If all three are provided, the server exposes all tools.

❗ **Important: only set the environment variables you have real credentials for.
Leaving placeholder values will result in exposed tools that do not work.**

### Configure with uvx

Installs the [package from PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/oxylabs-mcp/) and runs it automatically:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxylabs": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["oxylabs-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OXYLABS_USERNAME": "YOUR_USERNAME",
        "OXYLABS_PASSWORD": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
        "OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Configure with a local checkout

Useful for development — runs the server from a local clone of this repository:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxylabs": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/<absolute-path-to-folder>/oxylabs-mcp",
        "run",
        "oxylabs-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OXYLABS_USERNAME": "YOUR_USERNAME",
        "OXYLABS_PASSWORD": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
        "OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Running as a remote HTTP server (self-hosting)

The server also supports the MCP streamable-HTTP transport. Start it with:

```bash
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=8000 uvx oxylabs-mcp
```

With the HTTP transport, credentials are passed per request instead of environment variables:

| Credential                | How to pass it                                                                                         |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Web Scraper API           | `Authorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>` (standard HTTP Basic auth)                            |
| Web Scraper API (alternative) | `X-Oxylabs-Username` and `X-Oxylabs-Password` headers                                                |
| AI Studio                 | `X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key` header                                                                     |

Example client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxylabs": {
      "url": "https://your-host:8000/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Basic <base64 of username:password>",
        "X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

All tools are always listed regardless of provided credentials; calling a tool without the
credentials it needs returns an error message explaining exactly what to configure.

### Setup with Claude Desktop

Navigate to **Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config** and add one of the configurations above to the `claude_desktop_config.json` file.

### Setup with Cursor AI

Navigate to **Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP**. Click **Add new global MCP server** and add one of the configurations above.


## 📝 Logging

The server provides additional information about the tool calls in `notification/message` events:

```json
{
  "method": "notifications/message",
  "params": {
    "level": "info",
    "data": "Create job with params: {\"url\": \"https://ip.oxylabs.io\"}"
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "method": "notifications/message",
  "params": {
    "level": "info",
    "data": "Job info: job_id=7333113830223918081 job_status=done"
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "method": "notifications/message",
  "params": {
    "level": "error",
    "data": "Error: request to Oxylabs API failed"
  }
}
```
