How it connects.

Source

The web

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

Claude Code

Claude Code scrapes, tests and builds against live pages through the hosted MCP server.

What teams do with it.

Build a scraper against the real page

Claude Code fetches the rendered page, inspects the HTML, writes the parser in your repo and checks it against live output.

Fetch this product page, find the price selector and write a parser with a test.

Generate fixtures from production pages

Capture rendered HTML and screenshots of the pages your code handles and commit them as test fixtures.

Save rendered HTML for these 20 URLs into tests/fixtures.

Run data jobs from the terminal

Collect a dataset across every page of a listing, clean it in code and write CSV or JSON to disk in one session.

Scrape every listing on this search page across all pages and write listings.csv.

Set it up.

  1. Run claude mcp add --transport http importio https://mcp.import.io/mcp.
  2. Run /mcp in Claude Code.
  3. Sign in with OAuth when prompted.
  4. For a bearer key instead, add the server with --header "Authorization: Bearer mcp_live_...".

Questions.

Does Claude Code support OAuth?

Yes. Add the hosted Import.io MCP server, run /mcp and sign in.

Can Claude Code use a bearer key?

Yes. Pass Authorization: Bearer mcp_live_... with the --header option when adding the server.

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.
