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 Scrapingant account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract product prices from Amazon search page, convert a blog post to markdown format, get API usage stats for your account, 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 Scrapingant account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Extract product prices from Amazon search page"
  • "Convert a blog post to markdown format"
  • "Get API usage stats for your account"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Scrapingant MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Scrapingant account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web scraping tools, so your agent can extract web data, render dynamic pages, convert content to markdown, and monitor API usage on your behalf.

  • AI-powered data extraction: Direct your agent to pull structured data from web pages using custom AI queries—ideal for capturing tables, lists, prices, or other key information.
  • Dynamic web page scraping: Scrape complex sites with JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and support for cookies or browser emulation to handle modern web content.
  • Content conversion to markdown: Have your agent extract and convert page content into markdown format for clean, ready-to-use text in downstream applications or LLM pipelines.
  • Extended scraping with rich JSON output: Fetch detailed responses including raw HTML, headers, cookies, and other metadata to support advanced automation and analysis tasks.
  • API credit monitoring: Let your agent check and report on your current Scrapingant API credit usage, helping you manage quotas and avoid interruptions.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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 Scrapingant.
  • If it fails again, send the error and the ofid_ reference id to support@composio.dev.

3. Why does the Scrapingant authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Scrapingant connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Scrapingant connection for you.

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

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

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

  • In Claude Desktop, open Customize > Connectors.
  • Next to Composio, click ⋮ and click Clear cache.
  • If Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Scrapingant MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Scrapingant tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Scrapingant 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 Scrapingant data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
