## Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With Scrapingbee MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

## TL;DR

### 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 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Scrapingbee to Codex

### How to install Scrapingbee MCP in Codex
### Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

```bash
codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## 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. |

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You've successfully integrated Scrapingbee with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Scrapingbee 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 Scrapingbee operations
- Managed authentication through Composio
- Access to 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps for cross-app workflows
- CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining
Next steps:
- Try asking Codex to perform various Scrapingbee operations
- Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
- Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Scrapingbee MCP?

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 Codex?

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 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.
