# Claude Code

> Configure ScrapeGraph MCP in Claude Code (remote-first)

## Claude Code Setup

Use the remote HTTP MCP endpoint (recommended):

```
https://mcp.scrapegraphai.com/mcp
```

Add the server with the Claude Code CLI:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http scrapegraph-mcp \
  https://mcp.scrapegraphai.com/mcp \
  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

The default `local` scope makes the server available in the current project. To use it in every project, add `--scope user`.

Verify the connection:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp get scrapegraph-mcp
```

You can also run `/mcp` inside Claude Code to view the connected tools.

### Local (stdio) alternative

If you prefer running locally:

```bash theme={null}
pip install scrapegraph-mcp
claude mcp add scrapegraph-mcp-local \
  --env SGAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -- python3 -m scrapegraph_mcp.server
```

<Note>
  Use <code>--scope user</code> if you want the local server to be available in every project. On Windows, replace <code>python3</code> with the Python command available on your system.
