How do I install the decodo mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `SCRAPER_API_TOKEN`, `TOOLSETS` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Decodo MCP Server?

Easy web data access. Simplified retrieval of information from websites and online sources.

The short version

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.

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

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

What it needs from you

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

More MCP options
