Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Connect Scrapeless MCP to Anthropic’s Claude clients. You’ll need your Scrapeless API token.

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop.
Go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config (this opens claude_desktop_config.json).
Add the Scrapeless server to mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Scrapeless MCP Server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "scrapeless-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_KEY": "YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
The Scrapeless tools now appear under the tools (🔨) menu — Claude can search, scrape, crawl, and drive a browser on request.

Claude Code

In a terminal, register the server with the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add scrapeless \
  --env SCRAPELESS_KEY=YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY \
  -- npx -y scrapeless-mcp-server

To use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint instead of a local process:

claude mcp add --transport http scrapeless https://api.scrapeless.com/mcp \
  --header "x-api-token: YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY"

Run claude mcp list to confirm the server is connected.

Prefer hosted mode? See Authentication and Transports for the Streamable HTTP config.
