A side-by-side look at the CRW Web Scraper and Multi Scraper MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose CRW Web Scraper for search & data extraction work as a local process; choose Multi Scraper MCP for search & data extraction over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
