MCP Vetted

anansi

A self-healing scraper for hostile sites: broken selectors repair themselves, browser rendering kicks in when needed, and a coherent identity layer (Chrome TLS fingerprints, matched personas, vendor-aware Cloudflare/Akamai/DataDome handling) works to slip past bot detection. Ships with an MCP server so any LLM can drive a full crawl by conversation.

Always review a server's code and required credentials before connecting it to your MCP client. MCP Vetted scores public metadata — it does not audit code for malicious behavior (yet). Methodology →
