Scrapeunblocker MCP Overview

ScrapeUnblocker/scrapeunblocker-mcp connects MCP clients to the ScrapeUnblocker scraping API for retrieving rendered web content through anti-bot defenses. It provides page fetching, browser interaction, selector discovery, Google search, Markdown conversion, structured extraction, and site-specific plugins. Use it when ordinary requests encounter blocking, when pages require JavaScript or interaction, or when known-site data should be returned as JSON. The server runs over stdio and requires your own ScrapeUnblocker API key.

Primary Use Cases for Scrapeunblocker MCP:
  • Fetch HTML from pages blocked by anti-bot protections
  • Interact with search forms, tabs, cookie banners, and lazy-loaded pages
  • Extract product, listing, or article fields as structured JSON
  • Search Google and read the top result pages
