MCP Quickstart

Connect webscraperapi to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients in minutes.

MCP Quickstart

Use webscraperapi as an MCP server so your agent can call tools without manual API integration code.

1) Sign in

Sign in at webscraperapi.ai.

On first MCP tool call, OAuth will open and ask you to authorize access.

2) Add server in one command (Claude Code)

claude mcp add --transport http webscraperapi https://api.webscraperapi.ai/mcp

3) Verify it works

In Claude Code:

use webscraperapi to fetch https://example.com and summarize the page

You should see a tool call similar to webscraperapi - scrape (MCP).
