claude mcp add --transport http scrapingbot https://scrapingbot.io/api/mcp --header "x-api-key: <your x-api-key>"

### Claude (claude.ai, Desktop)

Not applicable: this server needs a custom header (x-api-key) that custom connectors in claude.ai cannot send. Use Claude Code or a config file.

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapingbot": {
      "url": "https://scrapingbot.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "<your x-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Save as ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project).

### ChatGPT

Not applicable: this server needs a custom header (x-api-key); ChatGPT connectors support no authentication or OAuth only.

mcp_servers:
  scrapingbot:
    url: "https://scrapingbot.io/api/mcp"
    headers:

Ranking rule: Within a category, entries sort by (1) latest verification: verified working, then reachable but sign-in required, then failing; (2) share of daily checks that passed; (3) number of sourced facts attached to the entry; (4) median response time of passing checks; (5) name. Nothing else counts. Rankings are never for sale: sponsors and paid plans cannot change an entry's position.
