Start scraping

Ask the AI assistant to scrape a webpage in plain English: 
Scrape https://www.zenrows.com/pricing and summarize the plans.

Get the product names and prices from https://www.scrapingcourse.com/ecommerce/.

Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/antibot-bypass using Premium Proxies.

Fetch https://www.scrapingcourse.com/javascript-rendering/ with JavaScript rendering enabled and return the page as Markdown.

​
Troubleshooting

The scrape tool is not available Confirm the configuration was saved under Settings > Tools > AI Assistant > Model Context Protocol and that you restarted the IDE after applying. Page content is missing or incomplete The page likely loads content dynamically. Ask the assistant to enable JavaScript rendering: 
Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/javascript-rendering/ with js_render enabled.
Requests return a 403 or bot detection page Ask the assistant to use Premium Proxies: 
Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/antibot-bypass using premium_proxy.
