Show HN: PyScrappy Pairs Self-Healing Scraper Selectors With an MCP Server So Agents Can Re-Target Broken Pages
A small Show HN (21 points, 2 comments) combining two things builders keep reinventing separately: scraping selectors that repair themselves when a page's DOM shifts, and an MCP server so an agent can drive the scraper directly rather than through generated one-off code. The interesting part is the combination — self-healing selectors turn the flakiest failure mode in agentic web work into something the model can recover from without a human editing XPaths. Low engagement and no published reliability numbers, so treat it as a pattern to copy rather than a validated dependency.
