## What it does

This server bridges AI agents with Decodo's web extraction platform. It feeds scraped page content directly into context as Markdown or structured JSON. Client-side JavaScript execution and anti-bot mitigation run automatically on Decodo's side, sparing you from maintaining headless browser instances.

Tools are arranged into modular groups: `web`, `search`, `ecommerce`, `social_media`, and `ai`. You activate specific categories using the `TOOLSETS` environment variable to keep agent tool definitions concise. Requests route through a network of 125M+ residential IPs across 195+ locations, holding a 99.99% success rate.

Without a valid token inside `SCRAPER_API_TOKEN` or a Bearer header, external requests fail immediately. Running the server locally with `npx` also requires Node.js 18 or higher.
