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 Scrapingbee account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to extract product prices from Amazon search results, fetch latest news headlines from BBC homepage, bypass anti-bot protections to scrape booking data, 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 Scrapingbee account

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

For example, ask Claude to:

  • "Extract product prices from Amazon search results"
  • "Fetch latest news headlines from BBC homepage"
  • "Bypass anti-bot protections to scrape booking data"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

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

The Scrapingbee MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Scrapingbee account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web scraping tools, so your agent can extract data, fetch HTML, bypass anti-bot measures, and monitor your usage—all without manual code.

  • Structured data extraction from any webpage: Let your agent pull tables, lists, or custom data using CSS or XPath selectors with ScrapingBee's extraction rules.
  • Fetch full HTML or page screenshots: Ask your agent to retrieve raw page markup or rendered screenshots, including support for JavaScript-heavy sites.
  • Proxy and stealth scraping: Enable your agent to scrape sites that block bots by routing requests through ScrapingBee proxies or stealth modes to bypass anti-bot defenses.
  • Resource control and custom rendering: Have your agent fine-tune scraping with options to block resources, control JS rendering, and speed up extraction for tricky websites.
  • Monitor account usage and limits: Keep track of your remaining ScrapingBee credits and usage statistics directly through your agent for seamless quota management.

Troubleshooting

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Why does the Scrapingbee authorization link not work?

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

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

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

The Scrapingbee connection can expire or lose permission.

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

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

Claude can manage the Scrapingbee connection for you.

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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