Tested PyPI scrapling 0.5 with the [ai] extra, started as `scrapling mcp` (repo D4Vinci/Scrapling, 93,123 GitHub stars when tested; registry name io.github.D4Vinci/Scrapling). Its 16 tools listed without credentials. Real tool calls (no LLM, no credentials): make_request fetched https://example.com/ (HTTP 200, page text returned) and list_sessions returned no open sessions. The browser tools (browser_open, browser_fetch, browser_screenshot and others) need a Chromium/Camoufox download (`scrapling install`), which we skipped, so they were not called. Anti-bot/Cloudflare handling was not tested.
Tool-call test (2026-11-03, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 2 of 2 calls passed: make_request fetched a public page and list_sessions answered. No credentials; browser tools not tested (no browser download). Evidence: local test run, Nov 3, 2026.

Transport (tested 2026-11-03): stdio

What we tested and what we didn't

Tested on 2026-11-03

  • Install from the registry
  • We connected with no credentials and asked for its tool list: it listed 16 tools (Method details: MCP initialize then tools/list)
  • Maintenance signals (last push, archived/deprecated status)
  • Docs (README length, install and config example)
  • License (OSI-approved or not)
  • Token cost (estimate)

Not tested

  • Security: not audited (no code review, no permission or data-flow analysis)
  • Real tasks (no functional task runs yet)
  • Behaviour with real credentials or a real account
  • Performance, rate limits or load
  • Correctness of results beyond the listed tasks

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
