TinyFish MCP with Claude: Automate Website Tasks Without Fragile Browser Scripts
The short answer
Claude works with TinyFish through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once connected, Claude can ask TinyFish to open websites, click buttons, fill in forms and extract information. Staff describe the task in plain language, and Claude carries it out within permissions the organisation sets.
What is TinyFish MCP?
TinyFish MCP is an AI-powered browser automation service. It lets software visit websites, move through pages, click, read and extract information, and complete web tasks. It is useful for teams that repeatedly work with websites that have no convenient data feed, such as supplier portals, public registries, price pages and government forms. Operations, procurement, research and finance teams commonly rely on it.
How Claude connects to TinyFish MCP through MCP
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets Claude securely use other software, reading information and taking actions with permissions the organisation controls. Think of it as a universal adapter between Claude and the tool. Through TinyFish MCP, Claude gains a way to operate a web browser on your behalf.
Once connected, Claude can typically browse to a website, follow links, interact with pages, and pull out the specific details you ask for. Instead of writing and maintaining fragile browser scripts that break whenever a page changes, you describe the goal in natural language and Claude works out the steps.
Permissions and approvals keep people in charge. Access is limited to the websites and actions you approve. Consequential steps, such as submitting a form or making a purchase, can require a person to confirm first. Every run can be logged so your team can review what was done and when.
What you can automate
Supplier price monitoring
A procurement team checks several supplier websites each week for price and stock changes. Claude uses TinyFish MCP to visit each portal, read the current prices and record them in a summary. Staff review the changes instead of copying figures by hand, and they spot increases sooner.
Public registry checks
A compliance team needs to confirm company details against public government registers during onboarding. Claude browses the register, enters the company name, and extracts the registration status and address. The results are collected for a reviewer, who makes the final decision.
Competitor website research
A marketing analyst tracks product launches and pricing on competitor sites. Claude visits the relevant pages, extracts product names, prices and key features, and compiles a short comparison report each month, saving hours of manual browsing.
Form-based data entry
An operations assistant must enter the same details into a government or partner portal for every new client. Claude reads the approved client record, navigates the portal, fills in the fields and stops for a person to review before submission. Errors fall and turnaround improves.
Lead and directory research
A sales development team builds lists from business directories that have no export option. Claude searches the directory, extracts the listed companies and contact pages, and passes the results to the CRM for qualification by the sales team.
An end-to-end workflow: Monthly supplier price review
TriggerThe first working day of each month, or when a procurement lead requests it.
Claude opens the list of approved supplier portals from the procurement register.
TinyFish MCP logs in to each portal using the approved access and extracts current price lists.
Claude compares the new prices with last month's figures held in the team's spreadsheet.
Any increase above the agreed threshold is flagged and written into a summary.
The summary is posted to the procurement channel in Microsoft 365 and the price changes are recorded in the ERP for approval.
A procurement manager reviews the flagged items and approves or rejects any follow-up action.
OutcomeProcurement reviews price movements in a single summary each month, with less manual copying, earlier warning of increases and a clear audit trail.
How we set it up
Free automation audit
We review your current web-based tasks and identify the workflows worth automating, along with the sites involved and the data your team needs.
Secure connection
We connect Claude to TinyFish MCP using the Dcr OAuth sign-in method, so access is granted through a standard approval flow rather than shared passwords.
Least-privilege design
We limit access to only the websites and actions each workflow needs, and agree which steps require human approval before anything is submitted.
Testing with real cases
We run the workflow against past examples from your own records, check the results for accuracy, and adjust it until it performs as expected.
Launch, monitoring and training
We launch with logging and monitoring in place, then train your team to run, review and maintain the workflow with confidence.

For teams in the US, UK, India and the Middle East
Organisations in the United States and the United Kingdom can use Claude with TinyFish MCP under their own data governance rules, and we design access and logging to suit them. Businesses in India must meet the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, so we configure data handling accordingly. Organisations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia must follow their local data protection laws, and we choose the hosting region for custom applications to meet those requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What does the TinyFish MCP server do?
The TinyFish MCP server connects AI tools such as Claude to TinyFish's browser automation service. It lets Claude browse websites, interact with pages and extract web data, using natural language instructions rather than hand-written browser scripts. Access is granted only to the actions you approve.
Is TinyFish MCP secure to use?
Security depends on how it is configured. We connect TinyFish MCP using the Dcr OAuth sign-in method, limit access to approved websites and actions, require human approval for consequential steps, and log every run so activity can be reviewed.
What can Claude do with TinyFish once connected?
Typically, Claude can open websites, follow links, click buttons, fill in fields and extract the information you request. It can then summarise or pass that data to other systems, such as a spreadsheet, CRM or ticketing tool, for your team to review.
How long does setup take?
Setup time depends on the number of workflows and websites involved. A simple single-workflow connection can often be running within a few weeks, while multi-site processes with several systems and approval steps take longer. The free automation audit gives you a realistic timeline.
Which plan or permissions do I need?
You need an active TinyFish account with access that allows API or MCP use, and the appropriate permissions for the websites you want Claude to reach. Plan requirements change, so we confirm the exact access your organisation needs during the free audit.
