About Decodo MCP Server

Decodo MCP Server is a web scraping layer for AI agents that connects MCP-compatible clients to Decodo's Web Scraping API. It enables web scraping for LLMs, real-time data retrieval for RAG, AI agent browsing and research, and structured data extraction from dynamic websites — without maintaining proxies, parsers, or retry logic. Tools are grouped into toolsets (web, search, ecommerce, social_media, ai), each enabling targeted scraping of general web pages, search engines (Google, Bing), marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, Target, TikTok Shop), social platforms (Reddit, TikTok, YouTube), and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity). Outputs are available as Markdown, JSON, or screenshots, with optional geo-targeting, JavaScript rendering, device emulation, and token-limit truncation inferred from natural-language prompts.

When to use it

  • AI-powered web scraping — give LLMs the ability to collect fresh data instead of relying on static training data.
  • RAG with live data — pull real-time Google, Bing, and AI search results into retrieval pipelines.
  • eCommerce intelligence — track product prices, listings, and sellers across marketplaces without getting blocked.
  • Social media data collection — gather posts, channels, and engagement data from Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube.
  • Travel and price aggregation — build tools that collect live pricing and availability across websites.

Security notes

Authentication uses a Decodo Web Scraping API Basic auth token. For the hosted server pass it as an 'Authorization: Basic <basic_auth_token>' header; for the local stdio server pass it via the SCRAPER_API_TOKEN environment variable. Keep this token secret — do not commit it to source control.

Decodo MCP Server FAQ

Do I need to build my own scraping infrastructure?

No. Decodo handles proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, anti-bot systems, and JavaScript rendering server-side, giving you a single integration point for reliable web data.

How do I authenticate?

Use a Web Scraping API Basic authentication token from the Decodo dashboard. For the hosted server, pass it as an 'Authorization: Basic <basic_auth_token>' header; for the local stdio server, set it via the SCRAPER_API_TOKEN environment variable.

Can I enable only some of the tools?

Yes. Tools are grouped into toolsets (web, search, ecommerce, social_media, ai). Pass a comma-separated list via the TOOLSETS env var (local) or the ?toolsets= query parameter (hosted URL). When none are specified, all tools are registered.

Can I run it locally instead of using the hosted server?

Yes. Clone the repo, run npm install and npm run build, then point your MCP client at the built build/index.js with 'command': 'node' — or use the published @decodo/mcp-server package via npx. Node.js 18+ is required.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Creating a free Decodo account gives you up to 2,000 free requests with no credit card required.
