TL;DR

This guide demonstrates how to solve MTCaptcha programmatically using Python and the CapSolver API. With minimal dependencies and a proxyless configuration, developers can quickly integrate automated MTCaptcha solving into data collection, testing, or workflow automation scenarios. The article walks through prerequisites, package installation, a complete Python example, and key configuration points to help you get started efficiently.

Introduction

MTCaptcha is increasingly adopted by websites as a lightweight, privacy-focused alternative to traditional CAPTCHA systems. While effective at distinguishing human users from automated traffic, it can interrupt legitimate automation workflows such as web testing, data collection, and backend integrations.

In this tutorial, we explain how to solve MTCaptcha using Python with CapSolver’s API. The approach is straightforward, does not require a proxy by default, and is suitable for developers who need a reliable, scalable solution. By following the steps below, you can integrate MTCaptcha handling into your Python projects with minimal setup.

⚙️ Prerequisites

  • A working proxy (OPTIONAL)
  • Python installed
  • Capsolver API key

🤖 Step 1: Install Necessary Packages

Execute the following commands to install the required packages:

python Copy
pip install capsolver

👨‍💻 Python Code for solve MTCaptcha without proxy

Here's a Python sample script to accomplish the task:

python Copy
import capsolver

capsolver.api_key = "your pay per usage key"
PAGE_URL = "websiteURL"
PAGE_KEY = "website site key"

def solver_mtcaptcha(url,key):
    solution = capsolver.solve({
        "type": "MTCaptchaTaskProxyless",
        "websiteURL": url,
        "websitePublicKey":key
    })
    return solution


def main():

    print("Solving MTCaptcha...")
    solution = solver_mtcaptcha(PAGE_URL, PAGE_KEY)
    print("Solution: ", solution)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
