Agent Scrape Overview

hshintelligence/agent-scrape MCP server exposes web scraping and browser automation tools through Streamable HTTP MCP and a raw HTTP API. It supports webpage scraping, AI-guided structured extraction, screenshots, metadata collection, stateful browser sessions, and multi-step workflows. Calls use x402 payments in USDC on Base rather than API keys or account credentials; an x402-compatible wallet is needed for paid MCP calls. Reach for it when an agent needs on-demand web data or browser actions without signing up for a conventional scraping API.
