A self-healing scraper for hostile sites: broken selectors repair themselves, browser rendering kicks in when needed, and a coherent identity layer (Chrome TLS fingerprints, matched personas, vendor-aware Cloudflare/Akamai/DataDome handling) works to slip past bot detection. Ships with an MCP server so any LLM can drive a full crawl by conversation.
