About
proxy-scraper collects public HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxies from over 700 sources and verifies each one against honeypots, injected scripts, and TLS issues before publishing an hourly live list. It also provides a rotating proxy server and an MCP server so AI agents can consume verified proxies directly.
At a glance
proxy-scraper collects public proxies and reports which checks each listed endpoint passed. It is worth reading if you are comparing how public proxy lists measure availability.
Good fit
Researchers inspecting proxy reachability with public, disposable traffic.
Consider something else when
Use a trusted network path for authenticated requests, private data or production traffic.
Start here
Inspect a listed proxy’s timestamp and individual checks before considering it. If evaluating reachability, use a controlled public endpoint and send no credentials.
Cost and requirements
MIT-licensed project with a public list and documented Python and MCP interfaces.
Limits to know
An endpoint that responds to a probe can still observe traffic, fail later or behave differently for another destination. Check results do not establish who controls it.
Sources checked 2026-11-05. Source-based assessment.
Why it made the leaderboard
Gives developers and agents a proxy source that's actually pre-vetted for tampering, plus an MCP interface so agents can consume it directly.
