## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-scrapingdog).

  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.

## MCP tools (3)

### `scrapingdog_scrape` (~370 tokens)

Scrape any website through Scrapingdog's rotating proxies and return its content. Returns HTML by default, or clean markdown with format:"markdown" (ideal for feeding an LLM). Set dynamic:true to render JavaScript in a headless browser for SPAs and dynamic pages (costs 5 credits instead of 1), premium:true for hard-to-scrape sites (residential proxies, 10 credits), and country to geotarget the proxy. Example: scrapingdog_scrape({ url: "https://example.com", format: "markdown", dynamic: true, _apiKey: "your-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): BYOK Scrapingdog API key (free trial at scrapingdog.com)
- `country` (string): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to proxy from, e.g. "us", "gb", "de". Optional geotargeting.
- `dynamic` (boolean): Render JavaScript in a headless browser before returning content (use for SPAs / dynamic pages). Costs 5 credits per request instead of 1 (25 with premium proxies). Default false.
- `format` (string): Response format: "markdown" for LLM-friendly text, "links" for a link list, otherwise HTML (default). Options: html, markdown, links, summary.
- `premium` (boolean): Use premium residential proxies for hard-to-scrape sites. Costs 10 credits (25 combined with dynamic:true). Default false.
- `url` (string, required): The full URL to scrape including protocol, e.g. "https://example.com/page"
- `wait` (number): Milliseconds to wait for the page to load (0–35000). Use together with dynamic:true for slow pages.

### `scrapingdog_google_search` (~280 tokens)

Google SERP API — run a Google search via Scrapingdog and get structured results: parsed organic results (title, link, snippet), related searches, and people-also-ask questions. Costs 5 credits per search. Example: scrapingdog_google_search({ query: "best running shoes 2026", country: "us", _apiKey: "your-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): BYOK Scrapingdog API key (free trial at scrapingdog.com)
- `country` (string): Two-letter country code to localize results, e.g. "us", "gb", "fr". Default "us".

- `results` (number): Number of results to return per page, e.g. 10. Optional.

### `scrapingdog_amazon_product` (~275 tokens)

Get Amazon product data by ASIN via Scrapingdog — title, price, rating, review count, availability, feature bullets, and images as parsed JSON. Pass an asin (e.g. "B0BFC7WQ6R") or a full Amazon product url. Example: scrapingdog_amazon_product({ asin: "B0BFC7WQ6R", domain: "com", _apiKey: "your-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): BYOK Scrapingdog API key (free trial at scrapingdog.com)
- `asin` (string): Amazon ASIN (product identifier), e.g. "B0BFC7WQ6R". Provide this or `url`.
- `country` (string): ISO country code for marketplace targeting, e.g. "us". Default "us" (1 credit; other countries cost 5).
- `domain` (string): Amazon marketplace TLD, e.g. "com", "co.uk", "de", "in". Default "com".

### Is the Scrapingdog MCP server safe to use?

Scrapingdog scores 81 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Scrapingdog MCP server expose?

Scrapingdog exposes 3 tools: scrapingdog_scrape, scrapingdog_google_search, scrapingdog_amazon_product. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 925 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Scrapingdog MCP server still maintained?

Scrapingdog is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Scrapingdog MCP server under?

Scrapingdog declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Scrapingdog MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Scrapingdog, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
