Decodo MCP Server
Official
Enable your AI agents to scrape and parse web content dynamically, including geo-restricted sites
GitHub source repository ↗
57FMRS · C
An officially maintained MCP server that wraps Decodo's commercial Web Scraping API into 30 tools spanning SERP, eCommerce, social media, and AI search, with modular toolsets and geo controls; well suited for production-grade real-time web data in AI agents, though it depends on a third-party cloud service and token auth.
The Decodo MCP Server is a web scraping layer for AI agents that connects MCP-compatible clients to Decodo's Web Scraping API. It scrapes websites, search engines, eCommerce platforms, and social media, returning structured outputs in Markdown, JSON, and screenshots, with server-side JavaScript rendering and anti-bot handling backed by 125M+ residential IPs across 195+ locations. Tools are organized into modular toolsets (web, search, ecommerce, social_media, ai) that can be selectively enabled.

Setup
- Create a free account at dashboard.decodo.com (up to 2K free requests) and get a Web Scraping API basic auth token. 2. Install Node.js 18+. 3. In Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config., add a server with command npx, args ["-y","@decodo/mcp-server"], env SCRAPER_API_TOKEN set to the token, and optional TOOLSETS such as web,ai. 4. Save and restart the client. Alternatively, use the hosted endpoint https://mcp.decodo.com/mcp with a Basic Authorization header.
claude_desktop_config.json
{"mcpServers":{"Decodo":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@decodo/mcp-server"],"env":{"SCRAPER_API_TOKEN":"<basic_auth_token>","TOOLSETS":"web,ai"}}}}
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users who cannot rely on a third-party paid scraping service or hosted endpoint
- Workflows needing only local file or internal data access
- Privacy-sensitive cases where sending target URLs and prompts to Decodo's servers is unacceptable
Required permissions
- Requires a Decodo Web Scraping API basic auth token (SCRAPER_API_TOKEN)
- Downloads and runs the @decodo/mcp-server package via npx from npm
- Requires network access to call Decodo's hosted scraping service
Risks and side effects
- All target URLs and prompts pass through a third-party (Decodo) server
- API usage costs apply once the free quota is exhausted
- Scraping target sites may violate their terms of service; verify compliance yourself
- Dependency on an external npm package and hosted API introduces supply-chain and availability risks
Troubleshooting
- On auth errors, double-check the token from the dashboard is configured as Basic auth
- Verify Node.js 18 or newer is installed
- Confirm the MCP client config is saved and the client restarted
- If context overflows, ask for fewer tokens or full content in the prompt
- For geo-restricted targets, use the geo parameter to change the exit IP country
