Add the ScrapeGraphAI MCP server to Cursor

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

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

Prerequisites

Cursor 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 `~/.cursor/mcp.json`

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json

~/.cursor/mcp.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>"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Cursor and confirm the ScrapeGraphAI tools load.

Gotchas

Cursor keeps MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global use, and also reads a project-scoped .cursor/mcp.json so a repository can ship its own servers. Remote servers are configured with a bare "url" field and connect natively, with OAuth handled in-app when a server requires it.
