概要
AlterLab is a robust web scraping API integrated as an MCP server, enabling large language models (LLMs) to interact with the internet effectively. Unlike standard fetch tools or other browser-based solutions, AlterLab offers automatic anti-bot bypass for challenging sites protected by Cloudflare, DataDome, and Akamai. It features a multi-tier scraping architecture that intelligently selects the most cost-effective method for each request, from direct HTTP to full headless Chromium rendering for JavaScript-heavy single-page applications. This allows LLMs to reliably scrape any webpage, extract structured data using pre-built profiles or custom schemas, take full-page screenshots, and even perform OCR text extraction, all optimized for efficiency and accuracy.
