Add the ScrapeGraphAI MCP server to Claude Code

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run ScrapeGraphAI in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed.
SGAI_API_KEY — ScrapeGraphAI API key used to authenticate requests and meter credits. Required. Can also be passed via the X-API-Key header on the remote endpoint.

Setup

1. Open `~/.claude.json`

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapegraph": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "scrapegraph-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SGAI_API_KEY": "<SGAI_API_KEY>",
        "SGAI_API_URL": "<SGAI_API_URL>",
        "SGAI_TIMEOUT": "<SGAI_TIMEOUT>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI

bash

claude mcp add scrapegraph -- uvx scrapegraph-mcp

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the ScrapeGraphAI tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
