Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "piloterr": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],
      "env": {
        "PILOTERR_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http piloterr https://mcp.piloterr.com/ --header 'x-api-key: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add piloterr --env PILOTERR_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @piloterr/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "piloterr": {
      "url": "https://mcp.piloterr.com/",
      "headers": {

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "piloterr": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.piloterr.com/",

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

PILOTERR_API_KEY secret required env
Piloterr API key.
x-api-key secret required HTTP header

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Piloterr safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: PILOTERR_API_KEY, x-api-key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Piloterr MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol server for the Piloterr web scraping API.

Scrape 300+ websites (Amazon, LinkedIn, Google, Zillow, Crunchbase…) as structured JSON with one API.

It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any MCP client call the API as tools. Runs over stdio (local) or Streamable HTTP (self-hosted).

Requirements

Node.js 20 or newer
a Piloterr API key — sign up, then copy it from the dashboard

Hosted server (recommended)

Piloterr runs this server for you at `https://mcp.piloterr.com/` (Streamable HTTP). Send your API key in the x-api-key header; nothing to install.

claude mcp add --transport http piloterr https://mcp.piloterr.com/ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

"mcpServers": { "piloterr": { "url": "https://mcp.piloterr.com/", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

The hosted server and this package expose the same API; run the package locally when you want stdio, your own network egress, or to self-host it.

Run it locally

Claude Code

claude mcp add piloterr --env PILOTERR_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y @piloterr/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and other clients

Add the server to the client's MCP configuration (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json…):

"mcpServers": { "piloterr": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@piloterr/mcp"], "env": { "PILOTERR_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

VS Code

"servers": { "piloterr": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@piloterr/mcp"], "env": { "PILOTERR_API_KEY": "${input:piloterr-api-key}" } } }, "inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "piloterr-api-key", "description": "Piloterr API key", "password": true } ] }

Claude Desktop extension

Download the .mcpb bundle from the releases page and open it; Claude Desktop asks for your API key.

Docker

docker build -t piloterr-mcp .

docker run -i --rm -e PILOTERR_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY piloterr-mcp

Tools

Piloterr has 391 endpoints, more than a client should load as separate tools. The server exposes a small catalog instead: the model searches it, reads an endpoint's parameters, then calls it.

Tool	Description
`search_endpoints`	Search the 391 Piloterr endpoints.
`get_endpoint`	Describe the parameters of one endpoint.
`call_endpoint`	Call one Piloterr endpoint and return the result.
`usage`	Show API usage and remaining credits.

Every tool that calls the API consumes credits. JSON results are returned as text; images are returned inline and other files (PDF…) as embedded resources, up to 4 MB.

Streamable HTTP

npx @piloterr/mcp --http --port 3000

The endpoint is POST /mcp (stateless, JSON responses). Each client sends its own key in the x-api-key header (or Authorization: Bearer ); the server never uses a key of its own. It binds to 127.0.0.1 by default and rejects browser origins unless you allow them — put it behind TLS before exposing it.

createHttpHandler() is exported for Fetch-compatible runtimes (Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun):

import { createHttpHandler } from "@piloterr/mcp";

export default { fetch: createHttpHandler({ allowedOrigins: [] }) };

Security

The API key is read from PILOTERR_API_KEY (stdio) or the request headers (HTTP) and removed from error messages.
Content fetched from websites is untrusted: the server instructions tell the model to treat it as data, not instructions.
See SECURITY.md to report a vulnerability.

Development

npm install

npm test npm run build npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/stdio.js

Built on the SDK

The server uses the official Node.js SDK (@piloterr/sdk).
