AI coding assistant for VS Code with MCP support. Roo Code helps you write, debug, and test code with integrated web scraping capabilities. VS Code Extension Windows macOS Linux [ Official Website ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline) 1. [MCP Documentation](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp) 2. [Integrations](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/integrations) 3. Roo Code ## Prerequisites Before getting started, make sure you have the following: - [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed - Node.js 18+ (for `npx` command) - Your Scrapfly API key (only if not using OAuth2) ## Setup Instructions Connect Scrapfly MCP to Roo Code to enable AI-powered web scraping in your VS Code workflow. Setup takes less than 5 minutes. 1. **Install Roo Code Extension** Install the Roo Code extension from the VS Code marketplace: **From VS Code:** - Press Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+Shift+X (macOS) - Search for "Roo Code" - Click "Install" on the extension **Command Line:** ``` code --install-extension RooCode.roo-code ``` Tip: Configure Roo CodeAfter installing, you may need to configure Roo Code with your preferred AI model. Follow the extension's setup wizard to complete initial configuration. 2. **Add Scrapfly MCP Server** Roo Code uses VS Code's MCP settings. Open your VS Code settings: - Press Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+, (macOS) to open Settings - Search for "MCP Servers" - Click "Edit in settings.json" Select your preferred authentication method: OAuth2 Recommended Secure API Key For automation ``` { "mcpServers": { "scrapfly": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp" ] } } } ``` **How it works:** Roo Code displays an OAuth2 URL in VS Code. Click it to authorize in your browser - happens once, then managed automatically. [See project-scoped setup](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/authentication#project-scoped) for team collaboration. ``` { "mcpServers": { "scrapfly": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp?key=" ] } } } ``` [Sign up for free](https://scrapfly.io/register) to get your API key. 3. **Reload VS Code Window** Apply the MCP configuration by reloading: - Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+Shift+P (macOS) - Type "Reload Window" and press Enter Tip: Verify MCP ConnectionAfter reloading, Roo Code should detect the Scrapfly MCP server and make tools available in the assistant interface. 4. **Verify the Integration** Confirm Scrapfly MCP is connected to Roo Code: 1. Open Roo Code's AI assistant panel (usually in the sidebar) 2. Look for the **hammer icon (🔨)** indicating MCP tools are loaded 3. Try a test prompt: *"Use Scrapfly to scrape https://news.ycombinator.com and show the top 5 posts"* 4. Roo Code should call Scrapfly MCP tools and return the results **Pro Tip:** Roo Code will automatically call the `scraping_instruction_enhanced` tool to get required authentication parameters before making scraping requests. ## Example Prompts ###### Code-Assisted Data Extraction Scrape https://news.ycombinator.com and write TypeScript code to process the data ###### Test Data Generation Scrape sample products from https://web-scraping.dev/products and create JSON test fixtures ###### Debug Scraping Configs Scrape https://web-scraping.dev with JavaScript rendering enabled and show me the page content ###### Multi-Page Workflow Scrape the first page of Hacker News, extract the top post URL, then scrape that post's page ## Troubleshooting ##### Roo Code does not detect Scrapfly MCP tools **Problem:** Scrapfly tools not appearing in Roo Code assistant **Solution:** - Ensure `npx` is available: run `npx --version` in VS Code terminal - Check `settings.json` is valid JSON (VS Code will show syntax errors) - Reload the window: Ctrl+Shift+P → "Reload Window" - Check VS Code Output panel (View → Output) and select "Roo Code" from dropdown ##### OAuth2 Authorization Issues **Problem:** OAuth2 link does not open or authorization fails **Solution:** - Manually copy the OAuth2 URL from Roo Code assistant and paste into your browser - Ensure you're logged into Scrapfly in your browser - Check that your default browser is set correctly - Try using API key authentication as a fallback ##### Checking Roo Code Logs **View logs in VS Code:** - Open Output panel: View → Output (or Ctrl+Shift+U) - Select "Roo Code" from the dropdown in the top-right - Look for errors related to MCP server connection ##### MCP Server Connection Timeout **Problem:** Connection to Scrapfly MCP server times out **Solution:** - Check your internet connection - Verify `https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp` is accessible from your network - If behind a proxy, configure proxy settings in VS Code - Try reloading the window after ensuring network connectivity ## Next Steps - [Explore available MCP tools](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/tools) and their capabilities - [See real-world examples](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/examples) of what you can build - [Learn about authentication methods](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/authentication) in detail - [Read the FAQ](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/faq) for common questions [ Back to All Integrations ](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/integrations)
