## MCP tools (4)

### `scraperapi_scrape` (~304 tokens)

Scrape any web page through ScraperAPI's rotating proxies and return its content. Returns HTML by default, or clean markdown with output_format:"markdown" (ideal for feeding an LLM). Use render:true for JavaScript-heavy pages (SPAs), premium:true for hard-to-scrape sites (residential proxies), and country_code to geotarget. Example: scraperapi_scrape({ url: "https://example.com", output_format: "markdown", render: true, _apiKey: "your-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): ScraperAPI key (sign up at https://www.scraperapi.com)
- `autoparse` (boolean): Ask ScraperAPI to auto-parse supported sites (Amazon/Google) into structured JSON. Default false.
- `country_code` (string): Two-letter country code to proxy from, e.g. "us", "gb", "de". Optional geotargeting.
- `output_format` (string): Response format: "markdown" or "text" for LLM-friendly content, otherwise HTML (default). Options: markdown, text.
- `premium` (boolean): Use premium residential proxies for hard-to-scrape sites. Default false.
- `render` (boolean): Render JavaScript before returning content (use for SPAs / dynamic pages). Default false.
- `url` (string, required): The full URL to scrape, e.g. "https://example.com/page"

### `scraperapi_amazon_product` (~175 tokens)

Get structured Amazon product data by ASIN — title, price, rating, reviews count, features, images, availability. Example: scraperapi_amazon_product({ asin: "B0BFC7WQ6R", country: "us", tld: "com", _apiKey: "your-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): ScraperAPI key
- `asin` (string, required): Amazon ASIN (product identifier), e.g. "B0BFC7WQ6R"
