Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open Settings → Integrations → Browse MCP Servers and search for ScrapeCreators. 2. Click Connect and paste the API key from your ScrapeCreators account dashboard (sign up at scrapecreators.com if you don't have one). 3. Switchy will verify the key and display your current credit balance. 4. Open any Project, type '@ScrapeCreators check my balance' in the chat, and confirm the assistant returns your remaining credits. 5. To test a real lookup, try '@ScrapeCreators get the Facebook profile for username nasa' (costs 1 credit). 6. The response will include follower count, verification status, and linked accounts as structured data you can reference in follow-up prompts. 7. Remember that live scrapes consume credits immediately; use cache_max_age parameters in your prompts when fresh data isn't critical.
What teammates see: by default, memories from ScrapeCreators are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@ScrapeCreators find all social profiles linked to the Instagram handle @techreviewchannel so we can map their cross-platform presence.
ScrapeCreators found 4 verified profiles for @techreviewchannel: Instagram (2.1M followers), YouTube (techreviewchannel, 890K subscribers), TikTok (@techreviewchannel, 450K followers), and Twitter/X (@techreviewch, 120K followers). Each profile includes the platform URL, follower count, and verification status. This lookup consumed 10 credits from your account balance.
This example shows the Find Creator Social Profiles tool discovering a creator's presence across platforms. The live lookup costs 10 credits—significantly more than single-platform scrapes—so set cache_max_age when you can tolerate stale counts. Useful for influencer research and competitive analysis, but requires the creator to have linked profiles publicly.
@ScrapeCreators pull the latest Facebook post from the Nike page and summarize the engagement metrics and top comment themes.
ScrapeCreators retrieved Nike's most recent post (published 6 hours ago): a Reel showcasing the new Air Max campaign. The post has 47,300 reactions, 1,200 comments, and 890 shares. Media includes one video (42 seconds). The feedback ID is 122104... Top comment themes (from AI analysis): excitement about the colorway (35%), requests for wider sizing (22%), and nostalgia for earlier Air Max models (18%). This scrape cost 1 credit.
This example pairs the Get Facebook Post tool with AI summarization to extract both structured data and qualitative insight. A live scrape costs 1 credit; cached results cost nothing if the post hasn't changed. Note that comment analysis depends on the post's visibility settings—private or restricted posts won't return full engagement data.
@ScrapeCreators check the GitHub contribution graph for user @opensource-maintainer over the past year and flag any gaps longer than two weeks.
ScrapeCreators returned the contribution graph for @opensource-maintainer (annual total: 1,847 contributions). The AI identified three gaps exceeding two weeks: Feb 10–Mar 2 (20 days, 0 contributions), Jun 15–Jul 5 (21 days, 0 contributions), and Nov 8–Nov 28 (21 days, 0 contributions). Peak activity occurred in April (312 contributions) and September (289 contributions). This lookup cost 1 credit.
This example demonstrates the Get GitHub User Contributions tool combined with AI pattern recognition. The 1-credit cost is fixed regardless of activity volume. Useful for evaluating maintainer consistency or identifying burnout risk, but remember the graph shows only public contributions—private repo work won't appear unless the user has opted in to display it.
Use-case deep-dives
Validate GitHub activity before hiring or onboarding a maintainer
A five-person engineering team evaluating an external contributor for a paid maintainer role needs proof of consistent open-source work, not just a polished LinkedIn profile. ScrapeCreators' GitHub tools return the candidate's contribution graph, repository stars, follower count, and commit frequency in three API calls—3 credits total. The contribution-graph tool shows daily commit intensity over the past year, so you spot gaps or surges that don't match the candidate's narrative. The repository tool confirms whether their pinned projects have real traction or are abandoned demos. This beats manually clicking through GitHub profiles when you're vetting multiple candidates in parallel. The catch: if you need code-quality signals or PR review history, you'll still open GitHub in a browser. For top-of-funnel screening and red-flag detection, this MCP cuts diligence time from 20 minutes to two.
Frequently asked
What does the ScrapeCreators MCP let me do in Switchy?
It pulls public profile data, posts, and ads from Facebook, GitHub, and other platforms without you needing to build scrapers or manage rate limits. Your AI agents can look up a creator's social handles, fetch ad spend from Meta's Ad Library, or grab GitHub contribution graphs—all through natural language prompts. Each lookup costs ScrapeCreators credits, not Switchy seats.
Do I need a ScrapeCreators API key to connect this MCP?
Yes. You'll paste your ScrapeCreators API key into Switchy's connection form. The key ties lookups to your prepaid credit balance; there's no OAuth flow. One person on your team should own the ScrapeCreators account, generate the key, and share it with teammates who need the MCP in their Switchy workspace.
Can the ScrapeCreators MCP post content or send messages?
No. It's read-only. You can fetch a Facebook post's engagement numbers or a GitHub user's bio, but you can't reply, star repos, or publish anything. If you need to write data back to these platforms, connect their native MCPs—GitHub MCP for commits, Meta's official APIs for posting—or use Zapier.
Why use this instead of calling Facebook or GitHub APIs directly?
ScrapeCreators handles the scraping infrastructure, so you skip rate-limit headaches and parsing HTML when official APIs don't expose the data you want—like Meta Ad Library spend or cross-platform handle discovery. The trade-off: you pay per lookup, and you're dependent on ScrapeCreators' uptime. Use official APIs when they cover your use case.
Who on my team should connect the ScrapeCreators MCP?
Whoever runs competitive research, influencer outreach, or ad intelligence. They'll burn through credits fastest. One shared API key works for the whole workspace, but check your ScrapeCreators plan—some tiers cap monthly lookups. If you hit the limit mid-month, everyone's prompts fail until you top up or the cycle resets.
