## The Hook

Scrapling is an adaptive Python scrape/crawl framework — from one request to full-scale crawls — with MCP for agents.

## What's Good

BSD-3-Clause (D4Vinci/Scrapling). Handles fetching, parsing, and crawl scale with an adaptive stance toward modern sites. Docs at scrapling.readthedocs.io; Docker Hub image; MCP surface so agents can call scrape tools without inventing another HTTP client. pip-installable Python stack.

## The Catch

Vs Firecrawl-style hosted scrape APIs: Scrapling is a library/framework you run (plus MCP), not a metered scrape SaaS with a managed anti-bot fleet. You own proxies, blockers, and ops; MCP does not erase site ToS or legal risk. Not a general browser-agent product like Browser Use/Steel.

## Verdict

BSD-3 adaptive scrape/crawl + MCP. Self-run framework vs Firecrawl-shaped APIs.
