Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• Scrapybara API key (get one at scrapybara.com)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/scrapybara/scrapybara-mcp.git
cd scrapybara-mcp

1. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

1. Build the project:

pnpm build

1. Add the following to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapybara-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/scrapybara-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPYBARA_API_KEY": "<YOUR_SCRAPYBARA_API_KEY>",
        "ACT_MODEL": "<YOUR_ACT_MODEL>", // "anthropic" or "openai"
        "AUTH_STATE_ID": "<YOUR_AUTH_STATE_ID>" // Optional, for authenticating the browser
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Restart your MCP client and you're good to go!
