Scrapingbee for AI agents
ScrapingBee is a web scraping API that handles headless browser rendering and proxy rotation so a single call returns a page's HTML or extracted data. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
What agents do in Scrapingbee.
Fetch a page's rendered HTML
Returns the fully rendered HTML of a target page, including content loaded by JavaScript.
Extract data with a stealth proxy
Pulls page data through a stealth proxy mode for sites with stronger anti-bot defenses.
Check usage stats before a run
Reads current API usage so a large scraping job does not run past the account's limit.
5 Scrapingbee actions, graded by risk.
Every Scrapingbee action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.
read
0Look things up. Allowed by default.
- No read actions.
write
5Create and change things. Allow, or ask the user first.

Scrapingbee in three steps.
- 01Your users connect ScrapingbeeThey add their Scrapingbee api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “scrapingBee HTML Fetch” can wait for the user to approve.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Scrapingbee through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('scrapingbee', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // html_fetch destructive: 'deny', }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Scrapingbee connects.
Users add their Scrapingbee api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same Scrapingbee connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan

Scrapingbee and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Scrapingbee with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Scrapingbee to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Scrapingbee actions you allow.
How do users connect Scrapingbee?
Users add their Scrapingbee api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which Scrapingbee actions can my agent take?
5 in total: 0 read, 5 write and 0 destructive, such as “scrapingBee HTML Fetch”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I make my agent read-only in Scrapingbee?
Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Scrapingbee policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.
Can my own backend call Scrapingbee too?
Yes. The same Scrapingbee connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug Scrapingbee into your agent.
Your users connect Scrapingbee once, under your brand. Your agent gets 5 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
