How it connects.

Source

Any public page, rendered, through managed proxies

Engine

Import.io

Rendering, proxy routing, captcha handling, extraction

Path

Import.io MCP

https://mcp.import.io/mcp

Destination

ChatGPT

A ChatGPT connector for live prices, listings and page data.

What teams do with it.

Answers from today’s page

ChatGPT fetches the current page instead of paraphrasing a cached one, so prices and availability are live.

What does the Nintendo Switch 2 cost at Walmart and Target right now?

Country-specific results

Name a market and the request goes out through a proxy in that country.

Show me the German Amazon price for this ASIN.

Tables from messy pages

Name the columns and get rows back, ready for a spreadsheet.

Pull hotel name, nightly rate and rating from this search page.

Set it up.

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Apps & Connectors, and turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings.
  2. Create a connector. Name: Import.io Web Scraper. URL: https://mcp.import.io/mcp. Authentication: OAuth.
  3. Sign in to Import.io when ChatGPT asks.
  4. Add the connector to a chat from the tools menu and ask for data.

Questions.

Do I need to run anything?

No. Import.io hosts the server. ChatGPT connects over HTTPS and authenticates with OAuth.

What does the Import.io MCP cost?

Signup includes 10,000 successful calls. After that it is $0.0002 per successful call. Setup requests, tool listings, malformed requests, blocked requests and failed upstream calls are never billed, and you can set a monthly spend limit that stops paid usage when reached.

OAuth or API key?

Use OAuth in interactive clients that support it: the client opens a sign-in, stores the credentials and reuses them. Use an API key for scripts, servers and clients without OAuth, sent as Authorization: Bearer mcp_live_…. Keep keys out of prompts and shared config files.

Which tools does the server expose?

importio_web_fetch, importio_render, importio_extract_data and importio_get_html, page helpers such as importio_page_text, importio_page_links and importio_search_cards, and browser actions for clicks, form input, scrolling, pagination, waits, screenshots and captcha handling. Requests can pick a proxy country and type, with bounded retries when a page blocks.
