What this server can do

Dumpling AI MCP Server provides tools for these capabilities — tap one to see every MCP server that does the same:

When to use it

  • Scraping and crawling websites and extracting structured data with AI instructions
  • Pulling YouTube transcripts and Google search/maps/news/reviews data into an agent
  • Converting, merging, and reading/writing metadata of PDFs and other documents
  • Transcribing and extracting content from images, audio, and video
  • Building and querying knowledge bases and generating AI images
  • Running JavaScript or Python code in a sandbox as part of an agent workflow

Dumpling AI MCP Server FAQ

How do I authenticate?

Set the DUMPLING_API_KEY environment variable to your Dumpling AI API key; it is required for all tools.

How do I install it for Claude Desktop?

Use Smithery: npx -y @smithery/cli install @Dumpling-AI/mcp-server-dumplingai --client claude, or run it directly with npx and the DUMPLING_API_KEY env var.

Does it work with Cursor?

Yes. Cursor 0.45.6+ is required. Add an mcpServers entry running npx -y mcp-server-dumplingai with the DUMPLING_API_KEY env var.

What if I run into issues on Windows?

Try the command cmd /c "set DUMPLING_API_KEY=your-api-key && npx -y mcp-server-dumplingai".
