Claude Desktop Setup

Claude Desktop connects to MCP servers over stdio, so the hosted endpoint is reached through the mcp-remote proxy.

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sgai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote@0.1.38",
        "https://mcp.scrapegraphai.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

npx requires Node.js on your PATH. Pinning the version keeps the setup reproducible — drop the @0.1.38 suffix if you would rather always take the latest proxy.

Authenticate

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration. The first connection starts the login and opens a browser window: choose Continue with Google and sign in with the Google account associated with your ScrapeGraphAI account.

Once the browser confirms the connection, return to Claude Desktop — the tools are ready.

With an API key instead

Pass the key as a header and let the proxy forward it, which skips the OAuth flow:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sgai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote@0.1.38",
        "https://mcp.scrapegraphai.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${SGAI_AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SGAI_AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

The header value is split across args and env on purpose. On Windows, Claude Desktop does not escape spaces inside args, so keeping Authorization:${SGAI_AUTH_HEADER} free of spaces avoids a mangled header.
