Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Proxy4agents MCP Tools (9)

novada_proxy_fetch

Fetch any URL through a residential proxy. Returns structured JSON with content, status code, and metadata. Auto-retry on network errors. Caches repeated calls (default 300s TTL — `meta.cache_hit: true` means no proxy credit used).

novada_proxy_batch_fetch

Fetch 2–20 URLs concurrently through residential proxy. Up to 5x faster than sequential fetches. Per-URL errors are captured individually — the batch itself succeeds even if some URLs fail. Reuses response cache for URLs already fetched.

novada_proxy_extract

Extract structured fields from any URL using heuristic pattern matching (meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD, Schema.org). Lightweight — no LLM needed. Set `render_fallback: true` to automatically retry via real Chromium if the proxy fetch fails.

novada_proxy_map

Crawl a URL and return all internal links as a structured JSON array. Use as the discovery step before `novada_proxy_batch_fetch` to crawl an entire site without guessing URLs.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations

Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
