Upscrape — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP server that pulls live data from 50+ platforms: commerce, grocery delivery, social networks, maps. Connects via OAuth, returns structured JSON.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://data.upscrape.com/mcpWhat Upscrape does
Hosted server exposing four tools: search capabilities by task or platform, fetch input schema, run a job, retrieve the result. Each request costs credits (price shown before execution), new accounts receive up to 100 free credits. Failed requests are not charged, credits never expire.
Connect once at https://data.upscrape.com/mcp, then authenticate through your browser. Tools are read-only and make no changes to platform data. You can limit access to specific platforms or block execution through the consent page. Clients that support bearer tokens can use an Upscrape API key instead of OAuth.
