How to Integrate Scrapeless into Cline?

⚠️ Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you’ve completed the following:

• Node.js and npm must be installed on your machine. If you haven’t installed them yet, visit the official Node.js website to download and set them up.
• Log into Scrapeless and obtain your API token.

Step 1. Install Cline

Head to the Cline download page by clicking the Cline link. But before proceeding, make sure VS Code is already installed on your device. If it’s not, follow the installation prompts first.

Click Install, and it will automatically open in VS Code. Then, click the Install button again within VS Code. Once you see the Cline logo on the sidebar, it means the installation is successful!

Step 2. Set Up the Scrapeless MCP Server

• Open the search bar in VS Code and type >MCP Servers.
• Go to the Installed tab.
• Click Configure MCP Servers.

Remember the connection code we used earlier? Paste it into the configuration field and make sure to replace the placeholder with your actual Scrapeless API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapelessMcpServer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "scrapeless-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_KEY": "YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY"  // replace with your API key
      }
    }
  }
}

• Once done, click Save to complete the setup.

Step 3. Run the Scrapeless MCP Server

• Return to the chat panel (click Done on the previous screen) and choose to use MCP.

• Ask Cline your question. For example, try: "Please check for me the gold price today." Then, click Approve to allow Cline to fetch data via the MCP server.

• Wait while Cline processes the request and returns the result.
