VPNFail MCP Server: Free Proxy Pool for Keyless Web Scraping
vpn_fail · reddit · 2026-08-05
A developer launched VPNFail MCP Server, a web scraping service designed for MCP-compatible agents. It allows agents to fetch web pages through a rotating proxy pool without requiring account registration or API keys.
Features & Quotas
- Offers three tools: scrape (fetch pages as Markdown, plain text, or HTML), usage (check anonymous rolling quota), and servicestatus (check proxy health).
- Free limits: 250 requests/hour, 1,000/day, 5,000/week, and 10,000/30 days, with two concurrent requests.
Technical Details
- Uses Streamable HTTP, meaning there is nothing to install locally.
- Currently in public beta, features like headless-browser rendering, JS execution, and location selection are on the roadmap. The author invites the community to stress-test the service and provide feedback.
