 Official VS Code extension and CLI tool from Anthropic. Brings Claude AI into your editor and terminal with web scraping capabilities.

 

 

 VS Code Extension & CLI Windows macOS Linux [  Official Website ](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code) 

 

 1. [MCP Documentation](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp)
2. [Integrations](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/integrations)
3. Claude Code
 
 ## Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following:

- An active [Scrapfly account](https://scrapfly.io/register)
- Scrapfly API key (if not using OAuth2)
 
## Setup

1. **Install Extension & CLI****Install VS Code Extension**
    
     ```
    code --install-extension Anthropic.claude-code
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
    **Install CLI (required for MCP config)**
    
     ```
    npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
     After install, click the Spark icon (✨) in VS Code sidebar
2. **Add Scrapfly MCP Server**Select your preferred authentication method:
    
        OAuth2  Recommended Secure     API Key For automation  
    
      ```
    claude mcp add --transport http scrapfly-cloud-mcp https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
      **How it works:** Browser opens for authorization on first use - happens once, then managed automatically. No API keys stored. [See project-scoped setup](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/authentication#project-scoped) for team collaboration. 
    
     
    
     ```
    claude mcp add --transport http scrapfly-cloud-mcp https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
      [Sign up for free](https://scrapfly.io/register) to get your API key.
3. **Verify** ```
    claude mcp list
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
    Expected output:
    
     ```
    scrapfly-cloud-mcp: https://mcp.scrapfly.io/mcp (HTTP) - ✓ Connected
    ```
    
     
    
       
    
     
    
     ✓ Connected = ready to use!
4. **Test**In VS Code, click the Spark icon (✨) and try:
    
     ```
    Scrape https://news.ycombinator.com and show top 5 posts
    ```

## Example Prompts

###### Code-Assisted Scraping

    

Scrape HN and generate Python parser code

 

    

###### Test Fixtures

    

Scrape https://web-scraping.dev/products and create test data

 

    

###### Screenshots

    

Screenshot scrapfly.io homepage

 

    

###### Batch Processing

    

Scrape [url1, url2, url3] to CSV

 

    



## Advanced

### Project-Scoped Configuration

 For team collaboration, you can configure Scrapfly MCP at the project level instead of globally. This allows your team to share the same configuration via version control.

 [  View Project-Scoped Setup Guide ](https://scrapfly.io/docs/mcp/authentication#project-scoped)

  Learn how to use environment variables, create `.mcp.json` files, and share configuration safely with your team.

## Troubleshooting

#####    MCP tools not appearing in VS Code   

 

- Verify CLI installed: `claude --version`
- Check MCP config: `claude mcp list`
- Ensure `npx` in PATH: `npx --version`
- Reload VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window"
 
 

 

 

#####    MCP server shows "✗ Not Connected"   

 

- Check internet connection
- Verify URL: `https://mcp.scrapfly.io/sse`
- Validate API key if using key auth
- Try removing & re-adding: `claude mcp remove scrapfly`
 
 

 

 

#####    OAuth2 browser does not open   

 

- Manually copy OAuth2 URL and paste in browser
- Ensure logged into Scrapfly in browser
- Check default browser is set
- Fallback: use API key authentication
 
 

 

 

#####    Command not found: claude   

 

- Ensure npm global bin in PATH
- Find npm global dir: `npm config get prefix`
- Add `[prefix]/bin` to PATH
- Restart VS Code/terminal after updating PATH
 
 

 

 

#####    View logs and config files   

 

**VS Code Logs:**

Ctrl+Shift+U → Select "Claude Code" from dropdown

**Config Files:**

- Global: `~/.claude/mcp.json`
- Project: `./.mcp.json`
