MrScraper

SuspiciousAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This is a disclosed API-only scraping skill, but it is designed to bypass anti-bot and captcha blocking and may involve credentials or cookies, so it needs careful review before use.

Install only if you have a legitimate, authorized need for MrScraper. Do not use it to bypass protections on sites you are not allowed to scrape, avoid passing session cookies, and use scoped/expiring tokens while keeping sensitive URLs and private content out of scraping jobs.

What this means

An agent using this skill could scrape sites that are actively trying to block automated access, creating legal, account, IP reputation, or abuse risks for the user.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly enables stealth/IP-rotation scraping to bypass captcha and anti-bot defenses, which is high-risk behavior without visible authorization or target restrictions.

Skill content
Opening blocked pages through unblocker (stealth browser + IP rotation) ... Use this when direct access is blocked by captcha or anti-bot protections.
Recommendation

Use only on sites you own or are explicitly authorized to scrape, and require explicit user confirmation before using unblocker, proxy, anti-bot, or cookie-based workflows.

What this means

If session cookies are supplied, the provider and agent may be able to access private account-specific pages or data, not just public web pages.

Why it was flagged

The API token is expected, but the documentation also contemplates sending session cookies, which can expose authenticated target-site access through the scraping provider.

Skill content
required_env_vars: [MRSCRAPER_API_TOKEN] ... Only pass cookies when session-specific content is required.
Recommendation

Do not pass login cookies unless absolutely necessary and authorized; prefer scoped, expiring API tokens and isolated/read-only accounts for scraping.

What this means

Sensitive URLs, page contents, or extraction instructions could be shared with the MrScraper service as part of normal operation.

Why it was flagged

The skill clearly discloses third-party API data flow; this is purpose-aligned, but users should recognize that target URLs, extraction instructions, and scraped content may be processed externally.

Skill content
Data is sent only to `api.app.mrscraper.com` and `api.mrscraper.com`. Responses may contain extracted page content and scrape metadata.
Recommendation

Avoid using the skill on confidential, regulated, or private pages unless the provider’s data handling terms meet your requirements.

What this means

Users may over-trust the tool as safe or acceptable for blocked sites when the target site may prohibit or restrict automated scraping.

Why it was flagged

The wording promotes 'unblockable' and stealth scraping without visible cautions about authorization, robots.txt, site terms, or legal limits.

Recommendation

Treat the marketing claims as high-risk capability descriptions, not permission to scrape; verify authorization and compliance before use.
