ZenRows MCP Integration for JetBrains IDEs

Set up ZenRows MCP in JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm so the AI assistant can scrape any webpage from your editor.

Before You Start

You need:

ZenRows Account

A ZenRows account

ZenRows API Key

Your ZenRows API key

Node.js

Latest version of Node.js installed on your machine

JetBrains IDE

A JetBrains IDE with the AI Assistant plugin enabled

Setup

1. Step 1: Open the MCP settings

   Go to Settings > Tools > AI Assistant > Model Context Protocol.

2. Step 2: Add the ZenRows MCP server

   Add the following configuration, replacing YOUR_ZENROWS_API_KEY with your actual API key:

   {
       "mcpServers": {
           "zenrows": {
               "command": "npx",
               "args": ["-y", "@zenrows/mcp"],
               "env": {
                   "ZENROWS_API_KEY": "YOUR_ZENROWS_API_KEY"
               }
           }
       }
   }
   
3. Step 3: Apply and restart

   Click Apply and restart your IDE to load the new configuration.

Start scraping

Ask the AI assistant to scrape a webpage or automate a browser workflow in plain English:

Scrape https://www.zenrows.com/pricing and summarize the plans.

Get the product names and prices from https://www.scrapingcourse.com/ecommerce/.

Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/antibot-bypass using Premium Proxies.

Fetch https://www.scrapingcourse.com/javascript-rendering/ with JavaScript rendering enabled and return the page as Markdown.

Open https://scrapingcourse.com/login in a browser, fill in the credentials, click submit, then extract the account details.

Troubleshooting

The scrape tool is not available

Confirm the configuration was saved under Settings > Tools > AI Assistant > Model Context Protocol and that you restarted the IDE after applying.

Page content is missing or incomplete

The page likely loads content dynamically. Ask the assistant to enable JavaScript rendering:

Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/javascript-rendering/ with js_render enabled.

Requests return a 403 or bot detection page

Ask the assistant to use Premium Proxies:

Scrape https://www.scrapingcourse.com/antibot-bypass using premium_proxy.
