This server implements theModel Context Protocol, making it compatible with any MCP-enabled LLM platforms. You can configure your LLM to use these tools for web scraping tasks.

const { Claude } = require('@anthropic-ai/sdk'); const { Client } = require('@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js'); const { StdioClientTransport } = require('@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js'); const claude = new Claude({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }); const transport = new StdioClientTransport({ command: 'npx', args: ['-y', 'webscraping-ai-mcp'], env: { WEBSCRAPING_AI_API_KEY: 'your-api-key' } }); const client = new Client({ name: 'claude-client', version: '1.0.0' }); await client.connect(transport); // Now you can use Claude with WebScraping.AI tools const tools = await client.listTools(); const response = await claude.complete({ prompt: 'What is the main topic of example.com?', tools: tools });
