scrapling-fetch-mcp 0.2.4

Helps AI assistants access text content from bot-protected websites. MCP server that fetches HTML/markdown from sites with anti-automation measures using Scrapling.

scrapling-fetch-mcp

Helps AI assistants fetch content from bot-protected websites. Uses Scrapling (patchright + curl-cffi) to bypass anti-automation measures, returning clean HTML or Markdown.

Optimized for low-volume retrieval of documentation and reference materials. Not designed for high-volume scraping or data harvesting.

Requirements: Python 3.10+, uv

Claude Code Skill

The easiest way to use this is as a Claude Code skill. Once installed, Claude will automatically fetch bot-protected URLs when you ask — no manual commands needed.

Install into your project (recommended — only loads in this project's context):

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/cyberchitta/scrapling-fetch-mcp /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp
cp -r /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp/skills/s-fetch .claude/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp

Or install for all projects (loads into context everywhere):

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/cyberchitta/scrapling-fetch-mcp /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp
cp -r /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp/skills/s-fetch ~/.claude/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/scrapling-fetch-mcp

The first time you invoke /s-fetch, Claude will read skills/s-fetch/references/install.md and run the one-time setup (installs the tool and downloads browser binaries). After that, just ask naturally:

"Fetch the docs at https://example.com/api"
"Find all mentions of 'authentication' on that page"
"Get me the installation instructions from their homepage"

Claude Desktop (MCP Server)

If the /s-fetch skill has already installed the tool, skip to the config below.

Otherwise install first:

uv tool install git+https://github.com/cyberchitta/scrapling-fetch-mcp
uvx --from git+https://github.com/cyberchitta/scrapling-fetch-mcp scrapling install

Note: Browser installation downloads hundreds of MB and must complete before first use. If the server times out initially, wait a few minutes and try again.

Add this to your Claude Desktop MCP settings and restart:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapling-fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["scrapling-fetch-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

How It Works

Two tools, used automatically by Claude:

• Page fetching — retrieves complete pages with pagination support
• Pattern extraction — finds content matching a regex

Three protection levels, escalated automatically:

• basic — fast (1-2s), works for most sites
• stealth — moderate (3-8s), headless Chromium
• max-stealth — thorough (10s+), full browser fingerprint

Limitations

• Text content only (documentation, articles, references)
• Not for high-volume scraping or sites requiring authentication
• Performance varies by site complexity and protection level
