Overview

What is the Decodo MCP Server?

The Decodo MCP Server is an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that connects AI tools like Claude and Cursor directly to Decodo's Web Scraping API. Once it's connected, your AI agent can scrape websites, search engines, eCommerce platforms, and more. Without the need to write a single scraper or manage any infrastructure.

Under the hood, every request runs through Decodo's network of 125M+ IPs across 195+ locations, with JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA bypass, and anti-bot handling baked in. You get clean, structured results back in HTML, JSON, or Markdown.

How to set up the Decodo MCP Server

Setup takes about a minute. Grab your authentication token from the Decodo dashboard, drop the server config into Claude or Cursor, and paste the token in. See step-by-step instructions for each client in our setup guide and official docs.
