The project is three days old and alpha, it depends on TypeSafe's paid Jev API, which is in early access with no free tier found, and it does not block crawls of private or local addresses.\n\n**Scrapfly.** The error catalogue documents HTTP status, retry behaviour and billing for over 100 codes. The MCP server loads 61 tools at once.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### jevcrawl\n\n1. Phrase `goal` as one specific question and start with `max_pages` between 10 and 30\n2. Check `stats.stopped_because` and `stats.degraded`, and read `uncertain` before reporting that something is missing\n3. Use `scrape` without a goal when you need a whole page, since it makes no paid Jev call and needs no key\n4. Handle `{\"error\": code, \"message\": ...}` results, for example `auth_error` means `TYPESAFE_API_KEY` is missing or rejected\n5. Pages in `stats.needs_js_urls` were not read. Tell the user rather than guessing their content\n\n### Scrapfly\n\n1. Send `X-Scrapfly-Api-Key` as a header rather than `key=` so the key stays out of logs\n2. Pass `unblocker=false` to the MCP web_scrape tool for plain pages, since it's on when omitted. `asp` is the deprecated alias\n3. Set `cost_budget` on each scrape so an Unblocker upgrade can't blow through credits\n4. Check `retryable` in the error body before retrying, and stop on `ERR::THROTTLE::MAX_API_CREDIT_BUDGET_EXCEEDED`\n5. Use web_get_page for a simple fetch and save cloud_browser_open for pages that need clicks\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, jevcrawl or Scrapfly?\n\nScrapfly scores 69.6 (B) on agent readiness against jevcrawl's 63.7 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. jevcrawl leads on reliability.\n\n### Do jevcrawl and Scrapfly need an API key?\n\njevcrawl needs an API key. Scrapfly takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call jevcrawl and Scrapfly without installing anything?\n\njevcrawl runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Scrapfly has a hosted endpoint at https://api.scrapfly.io/scrape.\n\n### Are jevcrawl and Scrapfly open source?\n\njevcrawl is open source (Apache-2.0).
