Overview

AI-generated overview

Oxylabs MCP lets an assistant scrape, crawl, search and browse the web through Oxylabs APIs, returning clean structured or Markdown data.

What you can do
  • Search the web and scrape any URL, with optional JavaScript rendering and Markdown, HTML, JSON, CSV or TOON output
  • Crawl a site from a starting URL and map its URLs, filtered by keywords or a prompt
  • Drive a real browser to navigate, click links, fill forms and scroll, then return the result
  • Scrape Google Search and Amazon search or product pages with parsing, pagination, locale and geolocation options
  • Generate an OpenAPI-format JSON schema for structured extraction
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs live web data that plain fetching cannot reach: JavaScript-heavy pages, CAPTCHA or geo-restricted sites, search results, or multi-page crawls and structured extraction from Google or Amazon.
Requirements
Either the hosted endpoint at mcp.oxylabs.io with credentials in headers, or the oxylabs-mcp PyPI package run locally with uv/uvx. Needs an Oxylabs Web Scraper API token or username and password, and/or an Oxylabs AI Studio API key, passed as OXYLABS_API_TOKEN, OXYLABS_USERNAME and OXYLABS_PASSWORD, OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY, or the Authorization and X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key headers. Paid accounts; free trials and credits are mentioned.
Before you install
Requires paid Oxylabs credentials: an API token or username and password, plus an AI Studio API key; only set variables you actually have, since placeholders break calls. Scraped URLs, queries and prompts are sent to Oxylabs' servers and its proxy network. The README states the repository is no longer supported and points to newer MCP repositories. Clients that only support OAuth cannot pass the required headers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Oxylabs Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.oxylabs%2Foxylabs-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Oxylabs MCP Server

The missing link between AI models and the real‑world web: one API that delivers clean, structured data from any site.


Disclaimer

This repository is no longer supported and being worked on. Kindly check our latest MCP repositories: Web API MCP Agent Browser MCP

📖 Overview

The Oxylabs MCP server provides a bridge between AI models and the web. It enables them to scrape any URL, render JavaScript-heavy pages, extract and format content for AI use, manage CAPTCHA, and access geo-restricted web data from 195+ countries.

It is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data.

🛠️ MCP Tools

Oxylabs MCP provides two sets of tools that can be used together or independently:

Oxylabs Web Scraper API tools

  1. universal_scraper: scrapes any URL, with optional JavaScript rendering, geo-targeting, and Markdown/HTML/links output;
  2. google_search_scraper: extracts results from Google Search, with optional parsing into structured JSON;
  3. amazon_search_scraper: scrapes Amazon search result pages, with optional parsing into structured JSON;
  4. amazon_product_scraper: extracts data from individual Amazon product pages.

Oxylabs AI Studio tools

  1. ai_scraper: scrapes content from any URL with AI-powered extraction, in JSON, CSV, Markdown, or TOON format;
  2. ai_crawler: crawls a website from a starting URL based on a prompt and collects data across multiple pages;
  3. ai_browser_agent: controls a real browser based on a prompt — navigates, clicks, fills forms — and returns the result;
  4. ai_search: searches the web and optionally returns Markdown content of each result;
  5. ai_map: maps a website's URLs, filtered by keywords or a prompt;
  6. generate_schema: generates an OpenAPI-format JSON schema for structured extraction with the AI tools above.

✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have at least one of the following:

  • Oxylabs Web Scraper API account: obtain an API token (or your username and password) from the Oxylabs dashboard (1-week free trial available);
  • Oxylabs AI Studio API key: obtain your API key from Oxylabs AI Studio (1000 credits free).

To run the server locally (Option 2 below) you will also need the uv package manager:

bash
# macOS and Linuxcurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
powershell
# Windowspowershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

📦 Configuration

There are two ways to use the server: connect to the hosted instance (no installation) or run it locally with credentials in environment variables.

Option 1: Hosted server (no installation)

Oxylabs runs a hosted MCP server at:

https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp

Credentials are passed with request headers:

CredentialHeader
Web Scraper API token (recommended)Authorization: Bearer <token>
Web Scraper API token (alternative)X-Oxylabs-Api-Token
Web Scraper API username and passwordAuthorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>
Web Scraper API username and password (alt.)X-Oxylabs-Username and X-Oxylabs-Password
AI StudioX-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key

If both an API token and a username and password are passed, the token is used.

Setup with Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http oxylabs https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp \  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \  --header "X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Setup with Cursor or any client that supports remote MCP servers with custom headers:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "oxylabs": {      "url": "https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",        "X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}

The server is also listed on Smithery.

Note: clients that only support OAuth for remote servers (for example, adding a custom connector in the claude.ai web UI) cannot pass headers yet — OAuth sign-in is on our roadmap. Use the local setup below with those clients in the meantime.

Option 2: Run locally

Environment variables

Oxylabs MCP server supports the following environment variables:

NameDescriptionDefault
OXYLABS_API_TOKENYour Oxylabs Web Scraper API token
OXYLABS_USERNAMEYour Oxylabs Web Scraper API username
OXYLABS_PASSWORDYour Oxylabs Web Scraper API password
OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEYYour Oxylabs AI Studio API key
LOG_LEVELLog level for the logs returned to the clientINFO

For the Web Scraper API tools, set either OXYLABS_API_TOKEN or both OXYLABS_USERNAME and OXYLABS_PASSWORD. If both are set, the token is used. For the AI Studio tools, set OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY.

All tools are always listed; calling a tool without the credentials it needs returns an error message explaining what to configure.

❗ Important: only set the environment variables you have real credentials for. Placeholder values make tool calls fail.

Configure with uvx

Installs the package from PyPI and runs it automatically:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "oxylabs": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["oxylabs-mcp"],      "env": {        "OXYLABS_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN",        "OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}
Configure with a local checkout

Useful for development — runs the server from a local clone of this repository:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "oxylabs": {      "command": "uv",      "args": [        "--directory",        "/<absolute-path-to-folder>/oxylabs-mcp",        "run",        "oxylabs-mcp"      ],      "env": {        "OXYLABS_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN",        "OXYLABS_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}
Running as a remote HTTP server (self-hosting)

The server also supports the MCP streamable-HTTP transport. Start it with:

bash
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=8000 uvx oxylabs-mcp

With the HTTP transport, credentials are passed per request instead of environment variables:

CredentialHow to pass it
Web Scraper API token (recommended)Authorization: Bearer <token>
Web Scraper API token (alternative)X-Oxylabs-Api-Token header
Web Scraper API username and passwordAuthorization: Basic <base64(username:password)> (HTTP Basic auth)
Web Scraper API username and password (alt.)X-Oxylabs-Username and X-Oxylabs-Password headers
AI StudioX-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key header

Example client configuration:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "oxylabs": {      "url": "https://your-host:8000/mcp",      "headers": {        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",        "X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"      }    }  }}

All tools are always listed regardless of provided credentials; calling a tool without the credentials it needs returns an error message explaining exactly what to configure.

Setup with Claude Desktop

Navigate to Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add one of the configurations above to the claude_desktop_config.json file.

Setup with Cursor AI

Navigate to Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP. Click Add new global MCP server and add one of the configurations above.

📝 Logging

The server provides additional information about the tool calls in notification/message events:
