Upscrape MCP server

Name: Upscrape
Author: upscrape

Real-time data APIs for 50+ commerce, grocery, social and maps platforms, over one remote MCP server. AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and Gemini CLI connect with OAuth and get structured JSON from the live source.

This repository holds connection instructions and the registry description. The server itself is hosted by Upscrape; there is nothing to install or run.


Server URL	`https://data.upscrape.com/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP (remote)
Authentication	OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, or an API key as a bearer token
MCP Registry name	`com.upscrape/mcp`
Documentation	docs.upscrape.com/docs/mcp/overview
Catalog	upscrape.com/scrapers

Connect

Add the server URL to your client and sign in to Upscrape when the browser opens. No API key is needed with OAuth. You can also generate a configuration for your client at Connect MCP.

Claude and ChatGPT

Add a custom connector with this URL and sign in:

https://data.upscrape.com/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http upscrape https://data.upscrape.com/mcp

Then open /mcp in Claude Code and authenticate.

Cursor

This repository is also a Cursor plugin (manifest). To configure it by hand, add to your MCP configuration (example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Save as .vscode/mcp.json, start the server and authenticate (example):

{
  "servers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Add to your Codex configuration, then run codex mcp login upscrape (example):

[mcp_servers.upscrape]
url = "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Add to settings.json, then run /mcp auth upscrape (example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upscrape": {
      "httpUrl": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

API key instead of OAuth

Clients that accept a bearer token can use an Upscrape API key. See API key setup.

Tools

The default connection exposes four tools:

Tool	What it does	Cost
`upscrape_search_capabilities`	Finds capabilities by task, platform, URL or category. Top matches include their input schema	Free
`upscrape_describe_capability`	Returns a capability's exact input schema, example input, timeout and price	Free
`upscrape_execute`	Runs one capability. Supports a credit ceiling (`max_credits`) and safe retries (`operation_key`)	The capability's published price, charged only when the job succeeds
`upscrape_get_job_result`	Retrieves a job started earlier, including large results in chunks	Free

Every tool carries read-only and destructive hints. No tool is destructive.

To expose specific platforms or capabilities as their own named tools, add them to the URL, for example https://data.upscrape.com/mcp?platforms=blinkit. See tool pinning and tools.

Pricing

Prepaid credits, no subscription. Each capability publishes its price in credits, and the price is shown before each request runs. Failed requests are not charged and purchased credits do not expire. New accounts get up to 100 free credits to start. See pricing.

Security

Access tokens are bound to the MCP resource and can be revoked at any time.
The consent page can restrict a connection to selected platforms or disable execution. See scoped access.
Results come from third-party websites. Treat them as data, never as instructions. See security.
