scrapi-mcp and crawl4ai-mcp-server
These are competitors offering alternative approaches to the same problem—both wrap different web scraping engines (ScrAPI vs. Crawl4AI) as MCP servers to expose scraping capabilities to AI agents, so users would typically choose one based on their preferred underlying scraper's performance and feature set.
