This guide provides a comprehensive overview of setting up and using an MCP server for web scraping, particularly with Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Bright Data's tools.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with external tools, APIs, and data sources in a consistent, secure way. It functions as a universal connector, allowing LLMs to perform real-world tasks like extracting website data, querying databases, or executing scripts. MCP standardizes communication between an AI model and external capabilities through a client-server architecture. The MCP Host initiates and manages interactions, the MCP Client establishes connections, and the MCP Server implements the protocol and exposes specific capabilities. This setup allows LLMs to access live data and take action, enhancing their capabilities beyond static responses.
Features
- Standardization: MCP provides a uniform interface for LLM-based systems to connect with external tools and data, reducing the need for custom integrations.
- Flexibility and Scalability: Developers can replace LLMs or hosting platforms without rewriting tool integrations, as MCP supports multiple communication methods.
- Enhanced LLM Capabilities: By connecting LLMs to current data and external tools, MCP allows them to deliver up-to-date, relevant information and trigger real-world actions.
Tools
- fetch_page: Fetches the HTML content of a given URL using Playwright and saves it to a temporary file.
- extract_info: Parses the saved HTML file to extract details like title, price, rating, and features, returning a structured dictionary.
