The author shares how to make Claude Desktop fetch live web pages instead of stale search snippets. By integrating the ZenRows MCP server, Claude can successfully bypass anti-bot measures and read JS-rendered product pages.

Cost warning: ZenRows is a paid backend that bills per request. The author asks the community for tips on managing costs when running scraping MCPs inside an agent loop.
