MCP support
The MCP server exposes proxy fetch, exit-IP check, country-listing, and IP-rotation tools to compatible clients. Configuration uses an IPLoop API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y proxyclaw-mcp-serverIPLOOP_API_KEYSecretYour ProxyClaw API key from iploop.ioLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project README🌐 ProxyClaw MCP Server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ProxyClaw by IPLoop.
Route web requests through 175M+ residential IPs across 195+ countries — directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zed, or any MCP-compatible client.
The only residential proxy network with an MCP server. Your AI can now browse from real homes, not datacenters.
✨ What You Get
- 195+ countries — Route requests through real residential IPs
- Anti-bot bypass — Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX can't tell the difference
- Zero config — One environment variable, four powerful tools
- Sticky sessions — Same IP across multiple requests
- City & ISP targeting — Pinpoint precision when you need it
⚡ Node.js vs Python — Which One?
We ship two MCP servers. Choose based on what you need:
| This repo (Node.js) | Python version | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Proxy routing + fetch | Full anti-bot + headless render + structured extraction |
| Best for | Simple fetches, geo-targeting | Scraping protected sites (Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn), JS-rendered pages |
| Anti-detection | Chrome fingerprint headers | TLS JA3 spoofing + Playwright anti-detection |
| Install | npx proxyclaw-mcp-server | uvx proxyclaw-mcp-server[all] |
| Tools | 4 (fetch, check_ip, list_countries, rotate) | 6 (+ stealth fetch, render, scrape, extract) |
→ Use Node.js if you just need to route requests through residential IPs.
→ Use Python if you're scraping hard targets (Cloudflare, SPAs, React sites) or need structured data extraction from 60+ supported sites.
Both use the same proxy network — just different levels of power.
🚀 Install (30 seconds)
1. Get Your Free API Key
Sign up at iploop.io/signup — 0.5 GB free, no credit card.
2. Add to Claude Desktop
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"proxyclaw": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "proxyclaw-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"IPLOOP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Done.
3. Verify
Ask Claude:
"Check my exit IP through the proxy"
Claude will call proxy_check_ip and show you the residential IP you're routing through.
🛠️ Available Tools
proxy_fetch
Fetch any URL through a residential proxy.
{
"url": "https://example.com",
"country": "US",
"city": "newyork",
"session": "my-session-id",
"timeout": 30
}
Use when: Scraping geo-restricted sites, checking prices by region, bypassing bot detection.
proxy_check_ip
Check which IP and country you're exiting from.
{
"country": "DE"
}
Use when: Verifying your proxy location before scraping.
proxy_list_countries
List all 195+ available countries.
{}
Use when: You need to know the exact 2-letter code for Madagascar.
proxy_rotate
Force a new IP rotation.
{
"country": "GB"
}
Use when: Your current IP got rate-limited and you need a fresh one.
💬 Example Conversations
You: "Check what Amazon.com shows from a US IP"
Claude: [calls proxy_fetch with country=US, returns HTML]
You: "Now check the same page from Japan"
Claude: [calls proxy_fetch with country=JP, returns different pricing/content]
You: "List all countries where I can route through"
Claude: [calls proxy_list_countries, returns 195+ countries]
You: "My current IP is blocked. Rotate to a new UK IP"
Claude: [calls proxy_rotate with country=GB, confirms new IP]

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
