How to Set Up and Use Ashra Structured Data Extractor
The Ashra Structured Data Extractor MCP server connects AI assistants to the Ashra web extraction service, which turns any public website into clean structured JSON using a simple prompt-driven API — no scraping code, no headless browser setup, no HTML parsing required. Users describe what data they want to extract and receive back organised JSON results, making it ideal for research automation, competitive intelligence, price monitoring, and data pipeline tasks that would otherwise require custom scraper development. The MCP integration means Claude and other AI clients can invoke web extraction directly within conversations.
Prerequisites
- An Ashra account and API key from https://ashra.dev (the service handles the actual web extraction)
- Node.js 18+ for running the MCP server via npx
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or VS Code

Extraction returns empty or incomplete data
Some websites use heavy JavaScript rendering that may affect extraction. Try rephrasing your extraction prompt to be more specific about which elements you want, or break complex extractions into smaller targeted requests.
API authentication errors
Verify your ASHRA_API_KEY is correct and that your Ashra account is active. Log in to https://ashra.dev and regenerate your API key if needed, then update your MCP config.
Server not starting via npx
Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed. Try running `npx -y ashra-structured-data-extractor-mcp` directly in a terminal to see any error output before adding it to your MCP client config.
