Scraps — Web Content Scraping MCP
Scraps MCP server enabling AI agents to scrape and extract structured content from web pages — fetching page HTML, parsing content, extracting text and links, and transforming web content into clean structured data for agent-driven research and content analysis workflows.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
HTTP/HTTPS to external sites. No credentials. Community MCP. Respect ToS and privacy.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An agent needs clean text extraction from static web pages — articles, documentation, or HTML-based content — without the overhead of a full browser.
Avoid When
You need JavaScript-rendered content — use Playwright/Puppeteer-based browser MCPs instead.
Use Cases
- • Extracting article text from web pages for research agents
- • Parsing structured data from HTML pages for data collection agents
- • Fetching and cleaning web content for summarization agents
- • Extracting links and references from documentation pages for navigation agents
- • Gathering competitor content from market research agents
- • Building content pipelines from web sources for data processing agents
Not For
- • JavaScript-rendered SPAs (static scraping won't see dynamic content)
- • Authenticated/paywalled content without credentials
- • High-volume scraping at scale (no built-in rate limiting or proxy support)
Interface
Authentication
No authentication needed for the MCP. HTTP requests to target URLs — target sites may require headers or auth.
Pricing
Free, open source community MCP.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ JavaScript-rendered content not accessible — only static HTML is parsed
- ⚠ Some sites block scrapers via User-Agent detection or bot protection
- ⚠ Content quality varies by site structure — tables/lists may not parse cleanly
- ⚠ No built-in rate limiting — add delays to avoid site bans
- ⚠ Respect robots.txt and site Terms of Service when scraping
- ⚠ Community MCP — parsing library may handle edge cases poorly
