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

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapingdog": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "scrapingdog-mcp"

      "env": {
        "SCRAPINGDOG_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "SCRAPINGDOG_API_BASE": "your-value",
        "SCRAPINGDOG_TIMEOUT_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add scrapingdog --env SCRAPINGDOG_API_KEY=your-value --env SCRAPINGDOG_API_BASE=your-value --env SCRAPINGDOG_TIMEOUT_MS=your-value -- npx -y scrapingdog-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": {
    "scrapingdog": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "scrapingdog-mcp"

        "SCRAPINGDOG_TIMEOUT_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "scrapingdog": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "SCRAPINGDOG_TIMEOUT_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Scrapingdog safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: SCRAPINGDOG_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Scrapingdog MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol server for the Scrapingdog APIs, hosted at `https://mcp.scrapingdog.com/mcp`.

It gives an AI assistant 35 tools for live web data — Google SERPs, Maps, News, Shopping, Lens, Amazon, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Walmart, eBay, screenshots and a general-purpose scraper — each backed by the corresponding Scrapingdog endpoint.

There is nothing to install. Point your client at the URL and send your own API key.

Connect

Get an API key from the Scrapingdog dashboard, then:

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http scrapingdog https://mcp.scrapingdog.com/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor / Windsurf / any client with an `mcp.json`

"mcpServers": { "scrapingdog": { "url": "https://mcp.scrapingdog.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, URL https://mcp.scrapingdog.com/mcp, authentication "API key", paste your key.

Check it by hand

curl -s https://mcp.scrapingdog.com/mcp \

-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Calls are billed to the key you send, at the same credit cost as the REST API. A tool's description states what it costs.

How it works

MCP client ──Authorization: Bearer <key>──> mcp.scrapingdog.com ──api_key=<key>──> api.scrapingdog.com

The server is stateless: every request builds its own MCP server and transport from the key on that request and tears them down with the response. One process serves many customers without a session map, so a key never outlives the request it came on and cannot leak into another caller's session. npm run smoke asserts exactly that, among other things.

Keys are verified against Scrapingdog's own /account endpoint (which resolves user keys and team member keys, and costs no credits), cached briefly. If that check is unreachable the request is let through, because the API itself still enforces the key on every tool call — an outage in the verifier must not take the whole MCP surface down. No database credentials are needed anywhere in this service.

Layout

Path	What it is
`src/endpoints.ts`	The 35 endpoints, declared. Adding an API means appending one object here — no handler code.
`src/server.ts`	Builds the MCP server and derives each tool's schema from that registry
`src/client.ts`	The HTTP client for api.scrapingdog.com
`src/auth.ts`	API-key verification and caching
`src/http.ts`	The hosted entry point (Streamable HTTP)
`src/index.ts`	A stdio entry point, for local development only
`deploy/nginx/`	The `mcp.scrapingdog.com` vhost
`ecosystem.config.cjs`	pm2 app definition
`scripts/smoke.mjs`	Pre-deploy checks against a stubbed API

Local development

npm ci

npm run build npm run smoke # stubs the API: no key needed, no credits spent

npm run dev # the HTTP server on http://127.0.0.1:8731/mcp SCRAPINGDOG_API_KEY=... npm run dev:stdio # stdio, for poking at one tool

Inspect it interactively:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

transport: Streamable HTTP, url: http://127.0.0.1:8731/mcp,

header: Authorization: Bearer

Settings live in .env.example.

Deploying

The server runs on its own box, separate from the API servers, so a problem here cannot affect api.scrapingdog.com.

First time, on a bare Ubuntu box:

git clone https://github.com/Darshan972/Scrapingdog-mcp.git ~/Scrapingdog-mcp

cd ~/Scrapingdog-mcp && bash deploy/setup-server.sh

That installs Node (from .nvmrc), pm2, nginx and the vhost, builds and starts the app, opens the firewall, and issues the TLS certificate — skipping the certificate with a clear message if DNS doesn't point here yet. It is safe to re-run.

After that, every push to main typechecks, builds, runs the smoke suite and only then rolls out with pm2 reload (.github/workflows/deploy.yml). Needs three repository secrets: MCP_SERVER_HOST, MCP_SERVER_USER, MCP_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY.

The deploy health check requires /healthz to answer 200 and an unauthenticated POST /mcp to answer 401, so a deploy that accidentally opened the gateway fails instead of going green.

The app binds 127.0.0.1 so nginx is the only route in. Don't change that on a public host: the key check lives in this process, so an exposed port is an open proxy to the API.
