Supported Tools

scrape_extended

Scrape Extended

Scrape a web page and return extended JSON output including HTML, plain text, cookies, response status code, headers, XHR requests, and iframes. Use this when you need more than just the page HTML — such as inspecting API calls made by the page (XHRs), reading response cookies/headers, or extracting iframe content.

scrape_as_markdown

Scrape as Markdown

Scrape a web page and return its content converted to Markdown format. Ideal for feeding web content into LLMs, RAG systems, or any text-processing pipeline. Supports the same browser rendering, proxy, and interaction options as standard scraping.

check_usage

Check Usage

Check the current API credit usage and subscription status for your ScrapingAnt account. Returns plan details, remaining credits, and subscription period.

scrape_webpage

Scrape Webpage

Scrape a web page and return its rendered HTML content. ScrapingAnt handles JavaScript rendering, anti-bot bypass (CAPTCHA, Cloudflare), and proxy rotation automatically. Use this to retrieve the full HTML of any webpage, optionally with custom browser settings, proxy configuration, or JavaScript execution.

extract_data

Extract Structured Data

Extract structured data from a web page using AI. Provide a free-form description of the data fields you want, and the AI model will extract them into a JSON object with camelCase property names. Useful for extracting product info, article content, pricing, reviews, or any structured data from a webpage without writing custom parsers.

download_markdown

Download Markdown

Scrape a web page and save its converted content as a downloadable Markdown file for archiving or a document-processing workflow.

Connect Scrapingant to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Scrapingant in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Scrapingant MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Scrapingant tools.

Run Scrapingant through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Scrapingant and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Scrapingant tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
