How to Set Up and Use Scrapegraph

The ScrapeGraph MCP server integrates the ScrapeGraph AI API into MCP-compatible AI clients, providing tools for AI-powered web scraping, structured data extraction, multi-page crawling, and web search. It connects to the ScrapeGraph API v2 and exposes tools like scrape, extract, search, crawl, and schema generation so that language models can retrieve and structure web content on demand without writing any scraping code.

Prerequisites

  • A ScrapeGraph AI account and API key from https://dashboard.scrapegraphai.com
  • Node.js with npx installed (for Smithery installation), or Python 3.13+ with pip
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
1

Obtain a ScrapeGraph API key

Create an account at the ScrapeGraph Dashboard and generate an API key. Keep this key available—it will be set as the SGAI_API_KEY environment variable or passed in the MCP config.

2

Install via Smithery (recommended)

Use the Smithery CLI to automatically install and configure the ScrapeGraph MCP server for Claude Desktop. Replace 'claude' with your client name if using Cursor or another client.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-mcp --client claude
3

Or configure manually in Claude Desktop

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) and add the ScrapeGraph server entry with your API key substituted in.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@ScrapeGraphAI-scrapegraph-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-mcp",
        "--config",
        "{\"scrapegraphApiKey\":\"YOUR-SGAI-API-KEY\"}"
      ]
    }
  }
}
4

Or connect to the hosted remote server

For a no-install option, configure your client to connect to the ScrapeGraph hosted remote MCP server using your API key as an HTTP header.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapegraph-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "[email protected]",
        "https://scrapegraph-mcp.onrender.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key:YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}
5

Restart your MCP client and test a scrape

Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen client. Ask it to scrape or extract content from a URL to confirm the tools are working.

Scrapegraph Examples

Client configuration

Claude Desktop configuration using the Smithery runner with your ScrapeGraph API key inline.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "@ScrapeGraphAI-scrapegraph-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-mcp",
        "--config",
        "{\"scrapegraphApiKey\":\"YOUR-SGAI-API-KEY\"}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example prompts to use with the ScrapeGraph MCP server once configured.

- "Convert https://scrapegraphai.com to markdown"
- "Extract all product names and prices from https://example-shop.com/products"
- "Search the web for the latest news about AI agents and summarize the top 5 results"
- "Crawl https://docs.example.com and extract all the page links"
- "Generate a JSON schema for extracting job listings from a careers page"

Troubleshooting Scrapegraph

API key errors or 401 Unauthorized responses

Ensure your SGAI_API_KEY is correct and your ScrapeGraph account is active. Check the dashboard at https://dashboard.scrapegraphai.com for key validity and remaining credits.

Tool names not recognized (e.g. 'smartscraper' not found)

The v3 server renames tools: use 'extract' instead of 'smartscraper', 'search' instead of 'searchscraper', and 'scrape' with output_format='markdown' instead of 'markdownify'. Ensure you are running the latest version of the server.

Timeout errors on large pages or slow sites

Set the SGAI_TIMEOUT environment variable to a larger value (e.g. 300 for 5 minutes). You can add this to the env block in your MCP config, or set it in your shell before starting the server.
