The 9 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what proxy4agents-mcp lets an agent do.

novada_proxy_fetch: - Fetch any URL through a residential proxy. Returns structured JSON with content, status code, and metadata. Auto-retry on network errors. Caches repeated calls
novada_proxy_batch_fetch: - Fetch 2–20 URLs concurrently through residential proxy. Up to 5x faster than sequential fetches. Per-URL errors are captured individually - the batch itself suc
novada_proxy_extract: - Extract structured fields from any URL using heuristic pattern matching (meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD, Schema.org). Lightweight - no LLM needed. Set render_fa
novada_proxy_map: - Crawl a URL and return all internal links as a structured JSON array. Use as the discovery step before novada_proxy_batch_fetch to crawl an entire site without
novada_proxy_session: - Sticky session fetch - every call with the same session_id uses the same residential IP. Essential for login flows, paginated scraping, and price monitoring. Su
novada_proxy_search: - Structured Google search via Novada Scraper API. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets as clean JSON - no HTML parsing needed.
novada_proxy_crawl: - Recursively crawl a website via BFS traversal. Starts from a URL, discovers links at each depth level, and returns the full URL tree with metadata.
novada_proxy_research: - One-shot research tool - searches the web, fetches top results, and returns structured findings with source previews. The agent can analyze the findings for dee
novada_proxy_status: - Check proxy network connectivity and version. Makes a live proxy call to verify the connection is working. No credentials required.
