Usage

MCP Server Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-requests": { "command": "python", "args": [ "-m", "mcp_server_requests" ] } } }

Command Line

0. Start MCP Server

Start the MCP server directly:

python -m mcp_server_requests

Options

  • --user-agent TEXT: Specify custom User-Agent string

  • --random-user-agent [browser=xxx;os=xxx]: Use randomly generated User-Agent

  • --force-user-agent: Force using command line specified User-Agent, ignoring LLM provided UA

  • --list-os-and-browser: List available browsers and OS for random User-Agent generation

Option Details

  • --user-agent and --random-user-agent are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together

  • User-Agent setup methods:

    • Custom string: --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (...)"

    • Fully random: --random-user-agent

    • Conditional random generation:

      • Specify browser type: --random-user-agent browser=chrome

      • Specify OS: --random-user-agent os=windows

      • Both browser and OS: --random-user-agent browser=chrome;os=windows

      • Note: Browser and OS parameters are case insensitive

  • Use --list-os-and-browser to view available browsers and OS for --random-user-agent.

  • --force-user-agent controls User-Agent priority:

    • When enabled: Prioritize command line specified User-Agent (via --user-agent or --random-user-agent), ignoring LLM provided UA

    • When disabled:

      • If LLM provides User-Agent, use that

      • Otherwise use command line specified User-Agent
