Oxylabs MCP Server — Two Scraping Engines in One, With the Fastest Stress Test Times
Part of our Web Search & Data Extraction MCP category.
At a glance: 86 stars, MIT license, v0.7.5 (December 2025), Python, 8 tools across 2 engines, two separate free trials available.
Oxylabs takes a different approach: instead of one unified tool set, it exposes two distinct scraping engines through a single MCP interface. The company has $43.7M in revenue (2025), 428 employees, and a proxy network covering 195+ countries.

The Bottom Line
Rating: 3/5 — The dual-engine approach is genuinely interesting — traditional proxy scraping + AI-powered extraction in one package. Fastest stress test times (31.7s) show solid infrastructure. Low entry point ($12/mo for AI Studio).
But 75% accuracy puts Oxylabs in the bottom half. Just 86 stars and a four-month-old release. The 8-tool surface is thin vs. Bright Data (60+) or Firecrawl (19). Good for teams already using Oxylabs' proxy infrastructure. For everyone else, Bright Data (reliability) or Firecrawl (speed + open source) are stronger picks.
