Crawlora MCP

Crawlora MCP

Crawlora MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI clients and agents 4186 structured public‑web‑data tools across 500 platform groups — search, maps, e‑commerce, social, finance, travel, app stores, media, and reviews — each returning clean, normalized JSON instead of HTML to parse.

Two ways to use it: connect any MCP client to the hosted endpoint

(https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp), or run the small open‑source local server in this repo

(npx / Docker, stdio) — both expose the same tools and authenticate with your Crawlora API

key. Start free with 2,000 credits/month (no card) at [crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-mcp).

Connection

A missing or invalid API key returns 401.

Connect your client

Crawlora MCP works with any MCP‑capable client. Pick yours below — they all point at the same hosted endpoint (https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp, Streamable HTTP) and authenticate with your CRAWLORA_API_KEY. Prefer keeping the key in an environment variable over pasting it literally, and never commit it. Ready‑to‑paste files for each client live in examples/.

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http crawlora https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer ${CRAWLORA_API_KEY}"

Adds at local scope by default. Use --scope user to make it available in every project, or --scope project to write a shared .mcp.json. Confirm with claude mcp list.

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "url": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CRAWLORA_API_KEY" } } } }

Cursor

Project‑local .cursor/mcp.json (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "url": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CRAWLORA_API_KEY}" } } } }

Codex CLI

codex mcp add crawlora \

--url https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp \ --bearer-token-env-var CRAWLORA_API_KEY

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

.vscode/mcp.json (project) or your user mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "crawlora": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:CRAWLORA_API_KEY}" } } } }

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (note the serverUrl key):

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:CRAWLORA_API_KEY}" } } } }

Gemini CLI

~/.gemini/settings.json (note the httpUrl key):

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CRAWLORA_API_KEY" } } } }

Cline / Roo Code

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json using the generic remote shape — full walkthrough in llms-install.md:

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "url": "https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CRAWLORA_API_KEY}" } } } }

Other clients

Any client that speaks Streamable HTTP can use the generic config in examples/mcp.json. stdio‑only clients (e.g. Zed) should run the local server below and point at its npx command.

Run it locally (open‑source server)

This repo also ships a small stdio MCP server (index.mjs) that exposes the same 4186 tools, each wrapping the Crawlora REST API (https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1) with your CRAWLORA_API_KEY. Useful if you'd rather run the server yourself than use the hosted endpoint.

The counts above describe this repository’s current source catalog. The npm package used by npx crawlora-mcp may contain the previous catalog until a tagged release is published. To use this source snapshot, clone the repository and follow the local setup instructions below.

# Node 20+ (no install)

CRAWLORA_API_KEY=your-key npx -y crawlora-mcp

or from a clone

npm install && CRAWLORA_API_KEY=your-key node index.mjs

or Docker

docker build -t crawlora-mcp . && docker run -i -e CRAWLORA_API_KEY=your-key crawlora-mcp

Client config (stdio):

{

"mcpServers": { "crawlora": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "crawlora-mcp"], "env": { "CRAWLORA_API_KEY": "your-key" } } } }

The tool definitions in tools.json are generated from Crawlora's published API catalog; each carries its real input schema and maps to a single REST endpoint.

Hosted MCP (recommended)

Just paste the URL into your client settings. No Node.js required.

Why Crawlora MCP?

• One key, 4186 tools — search, commerce, social, gaming, finance, and more behind a single MCP endpoint.
• Structured JSON, not HTML — every tool returns normalized fields, so an agent can use the result without writing a parser.
• Hosted or local — connect to the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint with no install, or run the open-source stdio server from this repo with npx or Docker.
• Free to start — 2,000 credits per month with no credit card.

A good alternative to stitching together SerpApi, Firecrawl, ScraperAPI, or ScrapingBee.
