Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Scrapingbee account to Cowork 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. ## Also integrate Scrapingbee with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Scrapingbee to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Scrapingbee to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Scrapingbee through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Scrapingbee MCP server, 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SCRAPINGBEE_DATA_EXTRACTION` | ScrapingBee Data Extraction | Tool to extract structured data from a webpage using CSS or XPath selectors. Use ScrapingBee's extract_rules feature. | | `SCRAPINGBEE_HTML_FETCH` | ScrapingBee HTML Fetch | Tool to fetch HTML or screenshot via ScrapingBee HTML API. Use when you need page markup or image after optional JS rendering and resource controls. For anti-bot or CAPTCHA-protected sites (e.g., Cloudflare), combine render_js=true with premium_proxy=true or stealth_proxy=true to avoid blocks. | | `SCRAPINGBEE_SCRAPING_BEE_PROXY_MODE` | ScrapingBee Proxy Mode | Tool to fetch web content via ScrapingBee's Proxy Mode. Use when you need to route requests through ScrapingBee proxies with optional JS rendering and resource blocking. | | `SCRAPINGBEE_STEALTH_PROXY` | ScrapingBee Stealth Proxy | Tool to perform stealth scraping via ScrapingBee's Stealth Proxy mode. Use when you encounter anti-bot measures requiring undetectable requests. | | `SCRAPINGBEE_USAGE_STATS` | ScrapingBee Usage Stats | Tool to retrieve usage statistics for your ScrapingBee account. Use when you need to monitor remaining credits and request count. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Scrapingbee MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Scrapingbee account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Scrapingbee tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Scrapingbee MCP Agent with another framework - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/scrapingbee/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Supabase](https://composio.dev/toolkits/supabase) - Supabase is an open-source backend platform offering scalable Postgres databases, authentication, storage, and real-time APIs.

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. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? 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. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Scrapingbee while using Tool Router? 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. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? 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. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
