Works with Any MCP Client

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or any tool that supports the Model Context Protocol. WebHarvy runs as a local MCP server on your Windows machine - no cloud dependency.

Scrape Using Plain English

Just tell your AI assistant what you want: "scrape all product names and prices from this page." The AI translates your instructions into scraping actions - no selectors, no configuration needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MCP server and how does WebHarvy use it?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude communicate with external tools. When WebHarvy runs as an MCP server, Claude Desktop or other AI tools can send it instructions to browse websites and extract data - all on your local machine.
Which AI tools can connect to WebHarvy's MCP server?
Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf. As MCP adoption grows, WebHarvy will be compatible with any tool that implements the standard.
Do I need coding skills to use the MCP server?
No coding is required. Once WebHarvy is connected to your AI assistant, you interact with it using plain English. The AI handles the technical side - you just describe what data you want.
Does my data get sent to the cloud when using MCP?
No. WebHarvy's MCP server runs locally on your Windows machine. The scraped data stays on your computer and is saved directly to your chosen file or database - it never passes through a third-party cloud service.
Can it scrape Cloudflare-protected and login-gated pages?
Yes - this is a key advantage over browser-only MCP tools like Chrome MCP. WebHarvy runs a full Windows browser that loads pages exactly as a real user would, passing Cloudflare checks and other bot-detection systems. It can also scrape pages that require a login, since you can browse to the logged-in state before scraping begins.
Can the MCP server scrape JavaScript-heavy websites?
Yes. WebHarvy uses a real browser engine, so it handles JavaScript rendering, dynamic content and single-page applications - the same sites that trip up simpler HTTP-based scrapers.
Can I still use WebHarvy manually without the MCP connection?
Absolutely. The MCP server is an optional mode. You can continue using WebHarvy's visual point-and-click interface independently, or switch between manual and AI-driven scraping as needed.
What formats can I export scraped data to?
Scraped data can be exported to Excel, CSV, JSON, XML or TSV files, or saved directly to a MySQL, SQL Server or Oracle database.
Is there a monthly subscription fee?
No. WebHarvy is a one-time purchase - pay once and use it for as long as you like, with no recurring charges.
