Quantumproxies MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Quantumproxies MCP is an open-source MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent scrape and crawl websites through available residential proxy endpoints. Its repository has 0 stars and its last commit is from October 1, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Quantumproxies MCP does
According to its repository: “Residential-proxy web access: scrape pages to Markdown, SERP search, site mapping and crawling, ready-made collectors, and proxy endpoints from your plans.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Quantumproxies MCP is listed under Web search and extraction, a category of 159 servers in the directory, where it ranks #158 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: web-scraping, serp, proxy, ai-agents, typescript, claude.
Installing and connecting Quantumproxies MCP
No package or remote server is declared in the official MCP registry: you install it from source, following the repository README.
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Quantumproxies MCP. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on August 25, 2026, the quantumproxies/quantumproxies-mcp repository has 0 stars and 0 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 4% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month.
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
