## Description
Access data, web scraping, and document conversion APIs by Dumpling AI

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-server-dumplingai": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@smithery/cli"],
    "env": {
      "DUMPLING_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `DUMPLING_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Documentation

## What Dumpling-AI/mcp-server-dumplingai does

The Dumpling-AI/mcp-server-dumplingai MCP server gives compatible AI clients access to Dumpling AI APIs through a single MCP integration. Its documented scope spans web and data research, scraping, document conversion, multimodal extraction, knowledge-management and agent features, image generation, and JavaScript or Python execution in a secure environment.

The data tools cover YouTube transcript retrieval, Google search, autocomplete suggestions, Maps and place searches, news searches, and Google reviews. Web tools can scrape a page, crawl a site, capture a screenshot, or extract structured fields from a page using instructions and a schema.

## How it works

The server runs as a local Node.js process and communicates with the MCP client using the configured command. Tool requests are passed to Dumpling AI, with inputs such as URLs, search parameters, extraction instructions, output formats, language settings, and media-processing options. Responses are formatted for the client, and the README describes automatic error handling and detailed response formatting.

Most document and media operations accept a URL. Supported examples include converting documents to text or PDF, merging PDFs, trimming video, reading or writing PDF metadata, and extracting information from documents, images, audio, and video. Extraction options include OCR, transcription, speaker diarization, timestamps, metadata, and structured output where supported.

## Setup and configuration

To run the Dumpling-AI/mcp-server-dumplingai MCP server with npx, install or invoke the `mcp-server-dumplingai` package and set `DUMPLING_API_KEY` to a Dumpling AI API key. The README marks this variable as required. A direct command is:

```bash
DUMPLING_API_KEY=your_api_key npx -y mcp-server-dumplingai
```

Claude Desktop can be configured through Smithery, while Cursor can be configured from Settings, Features, and MCP Servers. The Cursor example uses `npx -y mcp-server-dumplingai` and passes the API key through the server's environment. The README notes that Cursor configuration requires version 0.45.6 or later.

## Tools and capabilities

The documented tool groups include:

- Data lookup: YouTube transcripts, web search, autocomplete, Maps, places, news, and reviews.
- Web extraction: page scraping, recursive crawling, screenshots, and schema-based extraction.
- Document processing: text conversion, PDF conversion and merging, PDF metadata operations, and video trimming.
- Multimodal extraction: structured document extraction, image text extraction, audio transcription, and video analysis.
- AI and development features: agent completions, knowledge-base management, image generation, and JavaScript or Python execution.

## Limitations and notes

A Dumpling AI API key is required, so the server cannot be run without configuring `DUMPLING_API_KEY`. The supplied material does not specify API quotas, pricing, supported operating systems, or the license. It also does not document the complete argument schema for every tool; the examples show representative options rather than a full reference. Cursor support is explicitly tied to version 0.45.6 or newer in the setup notes.
