Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Scrapfly MCP integration, Codex can scrape web pages, capture screenshots, extract structured data, and crawl entire websites, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

How to integrate Scrapfly MCP with Codex
Connect Codex to Scrapfly MCP. Extract product prices from amazon listings, scrape job postings from linkedin search, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Api Key
Scrapfly is a powerful web scraping API that extracts data from any website. It lets developers handle tough sites with JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and anti-bot protection.

Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1700+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.
How to install Scrapfly MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth
To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
bash
codex mcp login composioVerify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
bash
codex mcp listCodex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- Restart and verify if it's there in
.codex/config.toml
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }Try it
Ask Codex for a Scrapfly task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Scrapfly account.
For example, ask it to:
- "Extract product prices from Amazon listings"
- "Scrape job postings from LinkedIn search"
- "Get latest news headlines from BBC homepage"
What is the Scrapfly MCP server, 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.
Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Scrapfly with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Scrapfly directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.
Key benefits of this setup:
- Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
- Natural language commands for Scrapfly operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Scrapfly operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

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. Codex 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.
