ScrapeUnblocker MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude (and any other MCP client) fetch any web page's HTML through the ScrapeUnblocker scraping API, bypassing anti-bot protection (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, Shape).
You bring your own API key. Nothing is shared or proxied through us.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
fetch_html | Fetch the fully rendered HTML of a URL. |
fetch_parsed | Fetch a page and return AI-parsed structured JSON. |
google_search | Run a Google search and return organic results as JSON. |
Get an API key
Sign up and grab your key at app.scrapeunblocker.com. The server
reads it from the SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY environment variable.
Install
Claude Code
The easiest route is the official plugin, which installs this server for you,
prompts for your API key (stored in your OS keychain rather than an environment
variable), and adds a /scrape-url command plus reference skills:
/plugin marketplace add ScrapeUnblocker/claude-code-plugin
/plugin install scrapeunblocker@scrapeunblocker
See ScrapeUnblocker/claude-code-plugin.
To add the bare server instead:
claude mcp add scrapeunblocker \
--env SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY=your_api_key_here \
-- npx -y scrapeunblocker-mcp
Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json
(Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"scrapeunblocker": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "scrapeunblocker-mcp"],
"env": {
"SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop and the ScrapeUnblocker tools appear.
Any other MCP client
Run the server over stdio:
SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY=your_api_key_here npx -y scrapeunblocker-mcp
Example prompts
- "Fetch the HTML of https://www.example-shop.com/product/123 and list the price."
