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": {
    "decodo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@decodo/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add decodo -- npx -y @decodo/mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "decodo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@decodo/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "decodo": {

Common questions

Is Decodo MCP 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.7.0) reached the registry 8 days 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?

Decodo MCP Server

Connect LLMs and AI agents to live web data using MCP (Model Context Protocol). The Decodo MCP Server lets you scrape websites, search engines, eCommerce platforms, and social media directly from AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, all without the need to build scraping infrastructure from scratch.

Structured outputs in JSON, Markdown, and screenshots
Server-side JavaScript rendering and anti-bot handling
125M+ IPs across 195+ locations

What is Decodo MCP server?

The Decodo MCP Server is a web scraping layer for AI agents. It connects MCP-compatible clients to Decodo's Web Scraping API, enabling:

Web scraping for LLMs
Real-time data retrieval for RAG
AI agent browsing and research
Structured data extraction from dynamic websites

Instead of maintaining proxies, parsers, and retry logic, you get a single integration point for reliable web data access.

Why use MCP for web scraping?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the emerging standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. With MCP:

Agents can call tools dynamically
Integrations stay standardized
Workflows scale across environments

The Decodo MCP Server gives your agents reliable, production-ready web access through this standard.

Key features

Web scraping for AI agents, no infrastructure required. Scrape any website, including JavaScript-heavy pages, without handling proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, or anti-bot systems.

Structured outputs for LLM workflows. Markdown (LLM-ready), JSON (for structured pipelines), and screenshots (for visual context), built for RAG pipelines, AI research agents, and automation flows.

Built-in support for popular targets. Ready-made tools for Google and Bing (SERPs), Amazon, Walmart, and Target (eCommerce), TikTok and YouTube (social media), and ChatGPT and Perplexity (AI search).

Global proxy infrastructure. 115M+ residential IPs, 195+ geo-locations, and a 99.99% success rate on even the most protected targets.

Modular MCP toolsets. Enable only what you need: web, search, ecommerce, social_media, ai for cleaner tool selection and better agent performance.

Fast time to value. From API key to first scrape in minutes, no setup overhead.

Use cases

Use the Decodo MCP Server when you need web scraping for AI agents, structured data extraction at scale, reliable access to dynamic websites, real-time data for RAG, or an alternative to building scraping infrastructure from scratch. Common scenarios:

AI-powered web scraping – give LLMs the ability to collect fresh data instead of relying on static training data.
RAG with live data – pull real-time Google, Bing, and AI search results into retrieval pipelines.
eCommerce intelligence – track product prices, listings, and sellers across marketplaces without getting blocked.
Social media data collection – gather posts, channels, and engagement data from TikTok and YouTube.
Travel and price aggregation – build tools that collect live pricing and availability across websites.

Quick start

Create a free account at dashboard.decodo.com – up to 10K free requests, no credit card required.
Get your API key. Copy your Web Data API key from your Web Data API subscription on the dashboard. Older plans have a basic authentication token, which also works (see Authentication).
Download Node.js 18+ from https://nodejs.org.
Get MCP client like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or other MCP-compatible tools.
Configure the MCP server in your AI client (see configuration examples below).

Connecting to Decodo's MCP server

Open your preferred MCP client and add the following configuration (see examples for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf bellow):

"mcpServers": { "Decodo": { "url": "https://mcp.decodo.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Authentication

Credential	Where to get it	Hosted server header	Local server env
API key (recommended)	Web Data API subscription on the dashboard	`Authorization: Bearer`	`SCRAPER_API_TOKEN=`
Basic authentication token (older plans)	Web Scraping API page on the dashboard	`Authorization: Basic`	`SCRAPER_API_TOKEN=`

The local server reads either credential from SCRAPER_API_TOKEN and works out which one it got.

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "Decodo": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@decodo/mcp-server"], "env": { "SCRAPER_API_TOKEN": " ", "TOOLSETS": "web,ai" } } } }

Save and restart Claude Desktop.

Cursor

Open Settings → MCP.
Click Add a new global MCP server (opens mcp.json).
Add the same configuration as above.
Save — look for a green status indicator next to Decodo.

Windsurf

Open Settings → Windsurf Settings.
Scroll to Cascade → Add custom server + (opens mcp_config.json).
Add the same configuration as above.
Save and restart Windsurf.

eve (Vercel)

In your eve agent project, run eve add connection/decodo, or create agent/connections/decodo.ts:

import { always } from 'eve/tools/approval';

import { defineMcpClientConnection } from 'eve/connections';

export default defineMcpClientConnection({ url: 'https://mcp.decodo.com/mcp', description: 'Decodo: scrape web pages as Markdown, search the web, map and crawl sites, and read e-commerce and YouTube data.', headers: () => ({ Authorization: Bearer ${process.env.DECODO_API_KEY!}, }), approval: always(), });

Set DECODO_API_KEY= in the agent's server-side environment (.env.local locally, project env vars on Vercel).
approval: always() asks before every call, since calls use your plan; relax it with eve's approval rules if you prefer.

Test your setup

Once connected, try this prompt in your client:

▎ "Scrape the titles of the top 5 articles from Hacker News"

You should get a structured list back within seconds. If you see an auth error, double-check your API key on the dashboard.

Local development

Only needed if you want to change the server code.

Build and run the server from this repository

Prerequisites

Node.js 18.0+
An MCP client - popular choices are Claude Desktop and Cursor

Step-by-step guide

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Decodo/mcp-server

Run the following commands in the terminal:

cd mcp-server

npm install npm run build

Take note of your build location:

cd build/

pwd

Adding index.js to the end of this directory, your build file location should look something like this:
