# ChatGPT (MCP)

> Connect ScrapeUnblocker to ChatGPT as a custom MCP connector so ChatGPT can fetch any web page through your own API key, past anti-bot protection.

ChatGPT reaches the same hosted [MCP server](/sdks/mcp) as a **custom connector**.
Once it's added, ChatGPT can fetch any page's HTML, get AI-parsed JSON, run a
Google search, or list a page's interactive elements - through ScrapeUnblocker,
bypassing anti-bot protection (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, Shape).

<Warning>
  Set this up in **ChatGPT on the web** ([chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com)). The
  connector screens are **not** available in the ChatGPT desktop app.
</Warning>

## What you need

* A paid ChatGPT plan (**Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise**) with **developer mode**.
  All four ScrapeUnblocker tools are read-only, so a **Plus** plan is enough.
* Your ScrapeUnblocker API key - grab it from the [dashboard](https://app.scrapeunblocker.com).

## Add the connector

<Steps>
  <Step title="Turn on developer mode">
    Open [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) in your browser, then go to
    **Settings → Plugins** and turn on **Developer mode** (near the bottom of the
    list; the toggle itself lives under **Security & login**).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open New Plugin">
    Back in **Plugins**, click the **+** button (top right) to open **New Plugin**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the connector">
    * **Name:** `ScrapeUnblocker`
    * **Connection:** keep **Server URL**
    * **Authentication:** **No Auth**
    * Tick **I understand and want to continue**
    * **MCP Server URL** (your key is already in it):

    ```
    https://mcp.scrapeunblocker.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY
    ```

    Then click **Create**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in a chat">
    Open the connector to confirm it lists the **four tools**, then use it in any
    chat - just ask ChatGPT to fetch or search a page.

## Tools

| Tool            | What it does                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fetch_html`    | Fetch the fully rendered HTML of any URL.                                                       |
| `fetch_parsed`  | Fetch a page and return AI-parsed structured JSON.                                              |
| `google_search` | Run a Google search and return organic results as JSON.                                         |
| `list_elements` | List a page's interactive elements (buttons, inputs, links, forms) with ready-to-use selectors. |

## Example prompts

* "This page keeps blocking me: `https://example-shop.com/product/123`. Fetch it and list the price."
* "Fetch the parsed data for `https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW` and summarise the product."
* "Search Google for `best running shoes 2026` and give me the top 5 links, then fetch the first one."

<Warning>
  **Keep the connector URL private - it carries your API key.** Anyone who has it
  can spend your quota. You can rotate the key any time in the
  [dashboard](https://app.scrapeunblocker.com).
</Warning>

<Note>
  ChatGPT connects with your **key in the URL** (No Auth). OAuth sign-in (no key
  in the URL) is available on [claude.ai](/sdks/mcp).
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

* **No "Plugins" or "Developer mode" in Settings** - you're likely in the ChatGPT
  **desktop app**. Open [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) in a browser instead.
  (OpenAI renamed "Connectors" to "Plugins" in 2026.)
* **The connector shows fewer than four tools** - reopen it from **Plugins** and
  check again; all four (`fetch_html`, `fetch_parsed`, `google_search`,
  `list_elements`) should be listed.
