## Briefing
- Zenrows: Zenrows released an MCP integration that lets Cursor users scrape JavaScript-rendered and bot-protected sites directly from the editor.

## Why it matters
Cursor's default web access is limited to cached snapshots, which breaks on dynamic or protected pages. By plugging Zenrows' MCP server into Cursor, developers can run live extraction workflows without leaving the IDE. This lowers the friction for AI-assisted scraping and makes Cursor more viable for data-heavy tasks.

## Watch next
Will other scraping proxies follow Zenrows with their own MCP servers for AI code editors?
