Connect Claude & ChatGPT to ScrapingAnt

Give your AI a URL and it fetches the page through ScrapingAnt's headless browser and proxies, then works with the HTML. You can pick the proxy type and country and have it wait for a part of the page to load. Reading, summing up or comparing web pages happens right in the chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in ScrapingAnt?

The AI can fetch the HTML of a web page through ScrapingAnt's headless browser and proxies, with options for browser, proxy type, proxy country and waiting for an element to load. It can also read your ScrapingAnt plan and remaining credits.

Does the AI see my ScrapingAnt API token?

No. Your ScrapingAnt credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on. Each scrape uses credits on your ScrapingAnt account, so you can require your approval before a scrape runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own ScrapingAnt account, and each scrape uses ScrapingAnt credits.

Does each scrape use ScrapingAnt credits?

Yes. Each page the AI fetches uses credits from your own ScrapingAnt account. The AI can check your plan and remaining credits at any time, so you can ask before a larger run.
