MCP server that converts URLs to clean Markdown/Text for LLM agents

⚡ Fast & Reliable — Built on 8+ years of web scraping expertise, 1,900+ production crawlers, and battle-tested anti-bot handling.

What is this?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents fetch and read web pages. Simply give it a URL, and it returns clean, LLM-ready content — fast.

Before: AI can't read web pages directly
After: "Summarize this article" just works ✨

Features

🌐 URL → Markdown: Preserves headings, lists, links
📄 URL → Text: Plain text extraction
🏷️ Metadata: Title, author, date, images
🧹 Clean Output: No ads, no navigation, no scripts
⚡ JavaScript Rendering: Works with SPAs
💳 Built-in Billing: Credit tracking, subscription management, usage analytics (MCP keys)
🔄 Auto-Retry: 429 rate limit responses automatically retried with Retry-After
🌍 Dual Transport: Stdio (npx) + Streamable HTTP for flexible deployment

Transport Modes

Scrapi MCP Server supports two transport modes:

Mode	Best For	Node.js Required
Stdio	Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Claude Code	Yes (auto via npx)
Streamable HTTP	All clients, Node.js-free environments	No

Prerequisites

Scrapi MCP account (separate from the main Scrapi account)
Claude Desktop, Cline, or Cursor installed
Node.js 20+

Installation

Option A: npx (Recommended)

No installation needed. Just configure your MCP client to use npx.

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scrapi.ai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPI_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: You can also pass the API key via CLI argument instead of env var:
hljs language-json
"args": ["-y", "@scrapi.ai/mcp-server", "--api-key", "your-api-key"]

See Step 2 for where to put this configuration.

Option B: Install from Source

hljs language-bash

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/bamchi/scrapi-mcp-server.git
cd scrapi-mcp-server

# Install dependencies and build
npm install && npm run build

      "env": {
        "SCRAPI_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Option 1: CLI command (Recommended)

hljs language-bash

claude mcp add scrapi-ai -s user -e SCRAPI_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y @scrapi.ai/mcp-server

Or with --api-key:

hljs language-bash

claude mcp add scrapi-ai -s user -- npx -y @scrapi.ai/mcp-server --api-key your-api-key

Option 2: Edit config file

Edit ~/.claude.json or project .mcp.json:

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scrapi.ai/mcp-server", "--api-key", "your-api-key"]
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP

Connect via Streamable HTTP — no Node.js installation needed on the client side.

Endpoint: https://scrapi.ai/mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "url": "https://scrapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI):

hljs language-bash

claude mcp add --transport http scrapi https://scrapi.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key"

Cline (cline_mcp_settings.json):

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://scrapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://scrapi.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Claude Desktop requires the mcp-remote proxy for HTTP connections.

Self-host the HTTP server (advanced)

Run your own instance instead of using the hosted endpoint:

hljs language-bash

SCRAPI_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y -p @scrapi.ai/mcp-server scrapi-http
# or from source:
SCRAPI_API_KEY=your-api-key node dist/http.js

The server starts at http://localhost:3000 with the MCP endpoint at /mcp. Configure with PORT and HOST environment variables. Replace the URL in the client configurations above with your self-hosted URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000/mcp).

Health check: GET http://localhost:3000/health

Step 3: Restart Your AI Client

Claude Desktop: Fully quit (Cmd+Q on macOS, Alt+F4 on Windows) and reopen
Claude Code: Restart the session
Cline: Restart VS Code
Cursor: Restart the editor

You should see the MCP server connection indicator.

Troubleshooting

"API key is required"

Make sure your API key is provided via one of these methods:

Environment variable: Set SCRAPI_API_KEY in your configuration
CLI argument: Pass --api-key your-key in the args

"Invalid API key"

Verify that your API key is correct and active in your Scrapi dashboard.

npx using an old cached version

If you upgraded but still see old behavior, clear the npx cache:

hljs language-bash

npx clear-npx-cache

MCP Server not connecting

Ensure Node.js 20+ is installed
Try running node /absolute/path/to/scrapi-mcp-server/dist/index.js manually to check for errors
Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on macOS, Alt+F4 on Windows) and restart
Check Settings > Developer to verify the server is listed

Developer tab not visible

Update Claude Desktop to the latest version: Claude menu → "Check for Updates..."

}

Streamable HTTP

Connect via Streamable HTTP — no Node.js installation needed on the client side.

Endpoint: https://scrapi.ai/mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "url": "https://scrapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI):

hljs language-bash

claude mcp add --transport http scrapi https://scrapi.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key"

Cline (cline_mcp_settings.json):

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapi": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://scrapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {

        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Claude Desktop requires the mcp-remote proxy for HTTP connections.

Self-host the HTTP server (advanced)

Run your own instance instead of using the hosted endpoint:

hljs language-bash
