Upscrape MCP server

Real-time data APIs for 60+ commerce, grocery, social and maps platforms, over one remote MCP server. AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and Gemini CLI connect with OAuth and get structured JSON from the live source.

This repository holds connection instructions and the registry description. The server itself is hosted by Upscrape; there is nothing to install or run.

Server URL	https://data.upscrape.com/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP (remote)
Authentication	OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, or an API key as a bearer token
MCP Registry name	com.upscrape/mcp
Documentation	docs.upscrape.com/docs/mcp/overview
Catalog	upscrape.com/scrapers

Connect

Add the server URL to your client and sign in to Upscrape when the browser opens. No API key is needed with OAuth. You can also generate a configuration for your client at Connect MCP.

Claude and ChatGPT

Add a custom connector with this URL and sign in:

https://data.upscrape.com/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http upscrape https://data.upscrape.com/mcp

Then open /mcp in Claude Code and authenticate.

Cursor

This repository is also a Cursor plugin (manifest). To configure it by hand, add to your MCP configuration (example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Save as .vscode/mcp.json, start the server and authenticate (example):

{
  "servers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Add to your Codex configuration, then run codex mcp login upscrape (example):

[mcp_servers.upscrape]
url = "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Add to settings.json, then run /mcp auth upscrape (example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "httpUrl": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

API key instead of OAuth

Clients that accept a bearer token can use an Upscrape API key. See API key setup.

Tools

The default connection exposes seven tools:

Tool	What it does	Cost
upscrape_search_capabilities	Finds capabilities by task, platform, URL or category. Top matches include their input schema	Free
upscrape_describe_capability	Returns a capability's exact input schema, example input, run time and price	Free
upscrape_prepare	Checks an input and shows the exact price without running anything. A ready answer includes the arguments for upscrape_execute	Free
upscrape_execute	Runs one capability. Supports a credit ceiling (max_credits) and safe retries (operation_key)	The capability's published price, charged only when the job succeeds
upscrape_get_job_result	Retrieves a job started earlier, including large results in chunks	Free
upscrape_list_jobs	Lists recent jobs, newest first, without their inputs or results	Free
upscrape_export_result	Returns a finished job or collection as JSON Lines or CSV, in pieces with checksums	Free

Account, feedback and collection tools appear only when you allow them on the consent page, and a read-only connection has no tools that spend credits.

Every tool carries read-only and destructive hints. No tool is destructive.

To expose specific platforms or capabilities as their own named tools, add them to the URL, for example https://data.upscrape.com/mcp?platforms=blinkit. See tool pinning and tools.

Pricing

Prepaid credits, no subscription. Each capability publishes its price in credits, and the price is shown before each request runs. Failed requests are not charged and purchased credits do not expire. New accounts get up to 100 free credits to start. See pricing.

Security

• Access tokens are bound to the MCP resource and can be revoked at any time.
• The consent page can restrict a connection to selected platforms or disable execution. See scoped access.
• Results come from third-party websites. Treat them as data, never as instructions. See security.
