MCP

Overview

The Scrape Creators MCP server lets AI assistants like Cursor, Claude, and VS Code Copilot directly call our API to extract public social media data. It supports OAuth authentication (for Cursor, Claude) and direct API key authentication (for Claude Desktop and other clients).

Quick Install

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Go to Tools & MCP
3. Click + Add new MCP server
4. Paste the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrape-creators": {
      "url": "https://api.scrapecreators.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

5. Save and go back to Tools & MCP
6. When prompted, click Connect to complete the OAuth flow — you'll enter your Scrape Creators API key in the browser

Claude / Claude Code

Connect directly from Claude without manually configuring an API key:

1. Go to Settings → Connectors
2. Click Add custom connector, enter Scrape Creators as the name and https://api.scrapecreators.com/mcp as the URL
3. Click Authorize when prompted to complete the OAuth flow

For Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http scrape-creators https://api.scrapecreators.com/mcp

Then run /mcp and select Authenticate for Scrape Creators to complete the OAuth flow.

VS Code

Add the following to your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "scrape-creators": {
        "url": "https://api.scrapecreators.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

The MCP server supports two authentication methods:

• OAuth (recommended) — Used by Cursor, Claude, and VS Code. You'll be redirected to enter your API key in the browser during setup.
• Direct API key — For Claude Desktop and other clients that support custom headers. Pass your key via the x-api-key header.
