Crawlora MCP

Crawlora MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI clients and agents 1407 structured public‑web‑data tools across 153 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 CRAWLORA_API_KEY. 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 \

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.
