Introduction

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Scrapfly account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract product prices from Amazon listings, scrape job postings from LinkedIn search, get latest news headlines from BBC homepage, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

3. Connect your Scrapfly account

Back in Claude, ask it to connect to Scrapfly or give it any Scrapfly-related task.

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Extract product prices from Amazon listings"
  • "Scrape job postings from LinkedIn search"
  • "Get latest news headlines from BBC homepage"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Claude, and your Scrapfly account is ready to use.

What is the Scrapfly Claude Connector, and what's possible with it?

The Scrapfly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Scrapfly account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web scraping capabilities, so your agent can perform actions like extracting website data, bypassing anti-bot protection, rendering JavaScript content, and rotating proxies—all on your behalf.

  • Dynamic web data extraction: Instruct your agent to fetch and extract content from almost any website, even those with heavy client-side rendering or complex structures.
  • JavaScript rendering support: Enable your agent to scrape websites that require full JavaScript execution for content loading, making dynamic sites accessible for data extraction.
  • Anti-bot protection bypass: Allow your agent to automatically navigate sites with CAPTCHAs, bot detection, or rate limiting using Scrapfly's built-in countermeasures.
  • Automatic proxy rotation: Let your agent leverage Scrapfly's proxy network to rotate requests, reduce blocks, and ensure more reliable scraping at scale.
  • Custom request handling: Have your agent specify advanced options like custom headers or cookies for targeted and flexible scraping sessions.

Troubleshooting

1. Why does Claude not use the Composio connector for Scrapfly?

The connector can show as connected, but Claude must use it in each Scrapfly conversation.

  • Click + at the lower left of the chat, or type /.
  • Hover Connectors.
  • Turn on Composio.
  • Ask Claude to connect to Scrapfly again.

2. Why does Claude show an MCP server error before Scrapfly connects?

Claude can show Couldn't reach the MCP server or Authorization with the MCP server failed when you add the connector for Scrapfly.

  • Check that the connector URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp.
  • Connectors run from Anthropic's cloud, so your device network is usually not the problem.
  • Add the connector again from Customize > Connectors, then ask Claude to connect Scrapfly.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Scrapfly authorization link not work?

The Composio connector is one server. Your Scrapfly account connects separately when Claude asks for it.

  • If the browser does not open, or the link expires, ask Claude to retry the Scrapfly connection.
  • Composio creates a fresh Scrapfly authorization link.
  • Open that link in your browser and finish the Scrapfly sign-in.

4. Why do Scrapfly actions fail after they worked before?

The Scrapfly connection can expire or lose permission.

  • Ask Claude to inspect the Scrapfly connection.
  • If the connection is unhealthy, disconnect it when Claude prompts you.
  • Reconnect the Scrapfly account and retry the action.
  • If Claude shows a permission prompt, approve it before Claude changes data in Scrapfly.
  • If the action still fails with a permission error, check that the connected account has that permission in Scrapfly itself.

5. How do I switch to a different Scrapfly account?

Claude can manage the Scrapfly connection for you.

  • Ask Claude to disconnect or delete the current Scrapfly account.
  • Ask Claude to connect Scrapfly again.
  • Open the new Composio authorization link for Scrapfly.
  • Sign in with the other Scrapfly account in the browser.
  • After the account connects, ask Claude to retry the Scrapfly task.

6. Why is my Scrapfly connection missing in Claude Desktop or on a Team plan?

The connector belongs to your Claude account, so your Scrapfly connection works in Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork.

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Scrapfly tools still do not appear, click ⋮, disconnect, remove the connector, and add it again.
  • On Team or Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before you can connect Scrapfly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Scrapfly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Scrapfly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Scrapfly and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Scrapfly tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Scrapfly scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Scrapfly data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
