Crawlora MCP server

Crawlora MCP

Crawlora MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI clients and agents 2221 structured public‑web‑data tools across 260 platform groups — search, maps, e‑commerce, social, finance, travel, app stores, media, and reviews — each returning clean, normalized JSON instead of HTML to parse.

Two ways to use it: connect any MCP client to the hosted endpoint

(https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp), or run the small open‑source local server in this repo

(npx / Docker, stdio) — both expose the same tools and authenticate with your Crawlora API

key. Start free with 2,000 credits/month (no card) at crawlora.net.

Connection

A missing or invalid API key returns 401.

Connect your client

Crawlora MCP works with any MCP‑capable client. Pick yours below — they all point at the same hosted endpoint (https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp, Streamable HTTP) and authenticate with your CRAWLORAAPIKEY. Prefer keeping the key in an environment variable over pasting it literally, and never commit it. Ready‑to‑paste files for each client live in examples/.

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http crawlora https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${CRAWLORA_API_KEY}"

Adds at local scope by default. Use --scope user to make it available in every project, or --scope project to write a shared .mcp.json. Confirm with claude mcp list.
