Scrapeless x Cursor

Cursor is an intelligent code editor that integrates AI assistants like Claude and GPT-4. It supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing seamless integration of external data sources. This guide will walk you through setting up Scrapeless MCP Server on Cursor to enhance AI-powered workflows with real-time data retrieval.

Why This Integration Matters

In today's fast-paced development environment, having real-time data access directly within your coding workflow isn't just convenient—it's transformative. The integration of Scrapeless MCP Server with Cursor bridges the critical gap between AI-powered code assistance and live external data, creating what we call "context-aware development."

How It Works

At its core, this integration combines three powerful technologies:

1. Cursor's Intelligent Editor: Your AI-powered development environment with deep code understanding
2. Model Context Protocol (MCP): The communication layer that enables external data access
3. Scrapeless API: The data engine delivering real-time information from Google's ecosystem

When properly configured, these components work together seamlessly:

• Your queries in Cursor trigger MCP requests
• Scrapeless processes these requests against live data sources
• Results return to Cursor's AI models for contextual processing
• You receive informed, accurate responses without leaving your workflow

Let's make everything simple!

How to Set Up Scrapeless MCP Server on Cursor

Scrapeless MCP Server is a server built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Scrapeless. It enables AI models (such as Claude and GPT) to access external information sources during conversations. With advanced search capabilities, Scrapeless MCP Server retrieves real-time data from sources like Google Search, including Google Maps, Google Jobs, Google Hotels, and Google Flights, ensuring accurate and relevant responses.

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

To run Scrapeless MCP Server, you must first install Node.js and npm:

• Download the latest stable version of Node.js from the official website.
• Install it on your system.
• Verify the installation by running the following commands in your terminal:

node -v
npm -v

• If installed correctly, you should see output like:

v22.x.x
10.x.x

Step 2: Obtain a Scrapeless API Key

To use Scrapeless MCP Server, you need an API key:

1. Register and log in to the Scrapeless Dashboard.
2. Navigate to API Key Management and generate your Scrapeless API Key.

Install Cursor Desktop Application

Download and install the Cursor desktop application from the official site.

Add Scrapeless MCP Server to Cursor

1. Open Cursor and navigate to Settings.
2. Select MCP from the left menu.
3. Click Add new global MCP server to open the configuration panel.

4. Input the following configuration, replacing YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY with your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapelessMcpServer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "scrapeless-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPELESS_KEY": "YOUR_SCRAPELESS_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Now, you can save the configuration and restart Cursor.

Step 4: Using Scrapeless MCP Server in Cursor

Once the setup is complete, you can start using Scrapeless MCP Server within Cursor by entering queries in the chat interface. For example:

Please help me check today's gold price.

The cursor will then call Scrapeless MCP Server and return accurate real-time results.

Benefits of Using Scrapeless MCP Server on Cursor

• Real-time search: Access the latest data from external sources.
• Seamless integration: Works directly within Cursor’s AI-driven environment.
• Enhanced AI context: Enables AI models to provide more accurate and up-to-date responses.
