Installation

Install the ScrapeGraph MCP Server using Smithery’s CLI: 
npx -y @smithery/cli install @ScrapeGraphAI/scrapegraph-mcp --client claude
This command will:
  • Automatically download and configure the MCP server
  • Set up the necessary configuration files
  • Prompt you for your API key if needed

​
Supported Clients

Smithery currently supports installation for:
  • Claude Desktop - Full support with automatic configuration
  • Other MCP-compatible clients may be added in the future

​
Configuration

After installation, Smithery will configure your client’s MCP settings. You may need to:
  1. Provide your API key - Enter your ScrapeGraph API key when prompted
  2. Restart your client - Restart Claude Desktop or your MCP client to load the new server
  3. Verify connection - Test the connection by asking your AI assistant to use one of the MCP tools

​
API Key

You’ll need a ScrapeGraph API key to use the MCP server. Get one from the ScrapeGraph Dashboard if you haven’t already.

​
Alternative Installation Methods

While Smithery provides a convenient installation method, you can also set up the MCP server using:

Remote HTTP Endpoint

Use the hosted endpoint - no installation required

Local Python Installation

Install and run the Python package locally

​
When to Use Smithery

Smithery is a good choice if you:
  • Prefer automated installation and configuration
  • Want to manage multiple MCP servers easily
  • Use Claude Desktop as your primary client
  • Like the convenience of a package manager approach

​
Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with Smithery installation:
  1. Check Node.js version - Ensure you have Node.js installed (npx requires Node.js)
  2. Verify API key - Make sure your ScrapeGraph API key is valid
  3. Check client logs - Review Claude Desktop logs for connection errors:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\\Claude\\Logs\\
  4. Manual configuration - If Smithery doesn’t work, try the manual setup methods
