MCP Server
Connect your AI assistant to 95 scraping and data tools with one command.
Overview
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI assistants call external tools directly. Scraper exposes all its tools as an MCP server, so your assistant can search Google, fetch reviews, find jobs, and more without you writing any integration code.
No code needed
Connect once, then ask your assistant in natural language. It picks the right tool automatically.
Secure by default
OAuth 2.1 with PKCE handles authentication. No API keys to copy or manage.
Same billing
Uses the same credit system as the REST API. No extra fees for MCP access.
Setup
On first use, your client opens a browser window to authorize. After that, the token refreshes automatically.
Claude Code
claude mcp add scraper --transport http https://scraper.run/api/mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{"mcpServers": {"scraper": {"type": "streamable-http","url": "https://scraper.run/api/mcp"}}}
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{"mcpServers": {"scraper": {"type": "streamable-http","url": "https://scraper.run/api/mcp"}}}
VS Code
Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:
{"servers": {"scraper": {"type": "http","url": "https://scraper.run/api/mcp"}}}
Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{"mcpServers": {"scraper": {"type": "streamable-http","url": "https://scraper.run/api/mcp"}}}
Other clients
Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP can connect. Point it at https://scraper.run/api/mcp. OAuth metadata is at https://scraper.run/api/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
Authentication
The MCP server supports two authentication methods:
| Method | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth 2.1 | Browser-based consent flow with PKCE, automatic token refresh | Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf |
| API Key | Pass your sc_live_ key as a Bearer token | Programmatic or headless clients |
OAuth tokens have a 1-hour lifetime and refresh automatically. API keys work the same as with the REST API.
Available Tools
All tools use the same credit system as the REST API.

Selecting fields
Most tools accept an optional fields parameter that limits the response to specific fields. Use it to reduce token cost when you only need part of the response. Click any tool name above to see its full field reference.
Example: passing fields: ["rating", "text", "author"] to trustpilot_reviews returns only those three fields per review.
Examples
Once connected, ask your assistant in natural language. It picks the right tool automatically.
Single tool
“Get Trustpilot reviews for notion.so and list the most common complaints”
“Find senior React developer jobs on Indeed in San Francisco”
“Find recent remote TypeScript contracts on Upwork”
“What are the Google Maps reviews for Blue Bottle Coffee in Tokyo?”
“Translate this paragraph to Japanese”
Multi-tool chains
“Search Google for Notion competitors and get Trustpilot reviews for each one”
“Find React developer jobs on Indeed in San Francisco, then translate the top 3 descriptions to Vietnamese”
“Compare Glassdoor reviews and salaries for Meta vs Google for senior engineers”
“Find coffee shops near Times Square and get their Google Maps reviews”
Troubleshooting
My assistant uses its built-in web search instead of google_search
Some assistants (like Claude) have a native web search tool. For generic search prompts, they may prefer their own tool over the MCP version. Two workarounds:
- Chain it with another Scraper tool so the assistant uses both in one flow (e.g. “Search Google for X and get Trustpilot reviews for each result”)
- Reference the tool by name: “Use the google_search tool to find...”
OAuth flow not opening in the browser
Make sure your client supports Streamable HTTP transport. Some older MCP clients only support stdio. Check that you're using the latest version of your client.
Session expired or 401 errors
OAuth tokens expire after 1 hour and should refresh automatically. If you see repeated 401 errors, remove and re-add the MCP server to trigger a fresh authorization flow.
