Scrape Everything MCP server

An MCP server for Scrape Everything. Public social data as clean JSON. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any other MCP client fetch public data from Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook, Telegram, Spotify, Pinterest and Twitch.

• One tool per API endpoint. At startup the server reads the live catalog from GET /v1/scrapers and registers a tool for each scraper (instagram_profile, tiktok_posts, youtube_transcript, …). New endpoints appear without a package update.
• Works offline. If the catalog can’t be fetched, the server starts from a bundled snapshot.
• Shows the cost first. Every tool description lists its credit cost and the fields it returns. Failed calls are refunded.
• Gives readable errors. API errors come back as tool errors that keep the error code and request_id. On RATE_LIMITED the error includes the Retry-After wait. The server never retries on its own.
• Keeps results bounded. Results are JSON text, truncated at 100k characters by default, with a note when that happens.
• Sends no telemetry. The only network calls go to the Scrape Everything API.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add scrapeeverything -e SCRAPEEVERYTHING_API_KEY=ssk_live_... -- npx -y @scrapeeverything/mcp

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapeeverything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scrapeeverything/mcp"],
      "env": { "SCRAPEEVERYTHING_API_KEY": "ssk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

On Windows, if npx is not found, use "command": "cmd" and "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@scrapeeverything/mcp"].

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapeeverything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scrapeeverything/mcp"],
      "env": { "SCRAPEEVERYTHING_API_KEY": "ssk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode)

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code prompts for the key and stores it securely:

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "scrapeeverything-key", "description": "Scrape Everything API key", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "scrapeeverything": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scrapeeverything/mcp"],
