fouradata/mcp

What it does

fouradata/mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to perform intelligent web scraping. It implements a cost-aware ladder system that automatically chooses the most efficient scraping method, starting with direct requests, then escalating to rotating proxy solutions, and finally to full browser automation if needed. The tool detects antibot challenges and reports which method was used and the associated cost for each request.

How to set up

As an MCP server, integration depends on your AI platform. For Claude and compatible MCP clients: add the server configuration to your MCP settings, authenticate with your fouradata account, and set your cost parameters. For other platforms, check the GitHub repository for platform-specific integration guides. EU-hosted infrastructure is available for compliance requirements.
