  • Inputs — - keyword (string): Requested keyword
  • get_keywords_match — Retrieves keyword data based on an exact match search, providing detailed insights into how the specific keyword performs in search engines
  • Input — - keyword (string): Requested keyword

  • get_keywords_serp_availableDates — Retrieves the available dates for historical SERP data of a given keyword at a given period

Installing the haloscanmcpserver mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: HALOSCAN_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Where it fits

Search and scraping servers exist to fix the single most common failure of any assistant: answering from stale training data instead of what is on the web today. HaloscanMCPServer sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — get_user_credit, get_keywords_overview, Inputs among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other search web scraping servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use HaloscanMCPServer.
  • Maintained by Cryptoptimiste.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the haloscanmcpserver mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
