sessemi-mcp

MCP server that gives AI agents the ability to scrape websites protected by Cloudflare, DataDome, and Akamai.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client.

Zero framework dependencies — implements MCP protocol directly. Only depends on the sessemi Python client.

Install

pip install sessemi-mcp

Or run directly with uvx:

uvx sessemi-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sessemi": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sessemi-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SESSEMI_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sessemi": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["sessemi-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SESSEMI_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

scrape

Scrape a URL, bypassing anti-bot protection. Returns page content.

credits

Check your remaining credit balance, tier, and usage.

Example

Ask Claude:

"Scrape the Idealista listings page for Madrid apartments"

Claude will call the scrape tool with the URL and country: "ES", get back the full HTML, and extract the data you need.

"How many credits do I have left?"

Claude calls credits and reports your balance.

How it works

Sessemi handles the hard parts automatically:

• Cloudflare — turnstile challenges, JS challenges, managed challenges

• DataDome — device checks, slider CAPTCHAs, interstitials

• Akamai — sensor validation, bot manager

Your AI agent sends a URL → Sessemi returns the page content. No browser config, no proxy setup, no CAPTCHA services.
