Simplescraper for AI agents

Simplescraper lets an agent build reusable scraping recipes that pull structured data, markdown, or screenshots from live web pages on a schedule or on demand. 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 Simplescraper.

01

Run a saved scraping recipe

Run an existing recipe against a target page and return the latest structured results without rebuilding the extraction logic.

02

Preview results before saving a recipe

Extract markdown from a page as a preview so a person can confirm the fields look right before saving the recipe.

03

Pull historical results for a recipe

Fetch a recipe's results history to check how a tracked page has changed over past runs.

02 · ACTIONS

13 Simplescraper actions, graded by risk.

Every Simplescraper action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('simplescraper', {
  read: 'allow',

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Simplescraper connects.

Simplescraper runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Simplescraper through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

The same Simplescraper connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Simplescraper and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Simplescraper with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Simplescraper 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 Simplescraper actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Simplescraper?

Simplescraper runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Simplescraper through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

Q03

Which Simplescraper actions can my agent take?

13 in total: 7 read, 6 write and 0 destructive, such as “create recipe”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Simplescraper?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Simplescraper policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Simplescraper too?

Yes. The same Simplescraper connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
