Crawlora MCP

What is Crawlora MCP?

Crawlora MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI clients and agents 478 structured public‑web‑data tools across 30+ categories—search, maps, e‑commerce, social, finance, travel, app stores, media, and reviews—each returning clean, normalized JSON instead of raw HTML. It is designed for developers and AI agents who need structured web data without maintaining scrapers.

How to use Crawlora MCP?

You can connect any MCP client to the hosted endpoint (https://mcp.crawlora.net/mcp) using Streamable HTTP and authenticate with your Crawlora API key (free 2,000 credits/month at crawlora.net). Alternatively, run the open‑source local server in this repo via npx -y crawlora-mcp (Node 20+) or Docker, which exposes the same 478 tools over stdio. Detailed configuration files for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other clients are provided.
