FineData MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for FineData web scraping API.

Enables AI agents (Claude, Cursor, GPT, …) to fetch pages that need a full browser and return clean data:

JavaScript rendering and browser actions
Captcha solving
Datacenter / ISP / residential / mobile proxies
Markdown or JSON output (markdown by default)
AI structured extraction
Local stdio or remote Streamable HTTP (+ OAuth 2.1)

Version: 0.3.1

Modes

Start with a plain request. Stealth and proxy modes are available when a page needs a full browser; they consume more tokens than a plain request. Exact rates are in the documentation and via get_usage. Gateway may apply a domain strategy that overrides the requested engine or proxy; trust tokens_used in the response.

Installation

uvx (recommended)

Terminal

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
FINEDATA_API_KEY=fd_xxx uvx finedata-mcp

pip

Terminal

pip install finedata-mcp
FINEDATA_API_KEY=fd_xxx finedata-mcp

npx

Terminal

npx -y @finedata/mcp-server

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finedata": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["finedata-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FINEDATA_API_KEY": "fd_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor deeplink (after publishing): install via MCP directory / “Add to Cursor”.

Remote (Streamable HTTP)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finedata": {
      "url": "https://mcp.finedata.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fd_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

OAuth 2.1 (Claude.ai / ChatGPT connectors): register via AS at https://api.finedata.ai, consent in the cabinet, then use the access token as Bearer.

Environment

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`FINEDATA_API_KEY`	stdio: yes	—	API key
`FINEDATA_API_URL`	no	`https://api.finedata.ai`	API base
`FINEDATA_TIMEOUT`	no	`180`	HTTP client timeout (seconds)
`FINEDATA_MCP_HOST`	HTTP	`0.0.0.0`	Bind host
`FINEDATA_MCP_PORT`	HTTP	`8080`	Bind port
`FINEDATA_OAUTH_ISSUER`	remote OAuth	—	AS URL (gateway)
`FINEDATA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL`	remote OAuth	—	Public MCP URL
`FINEDATA_JWT_SECRET`	remote OAuth	—	Verify `aud=mcp` JWTs

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`scrape_url`	Sync scrape with GET, read-only (markdown default)
`send_http_request`	Sync POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE through the same pipeline
`scrape_async`	Async job, GET (`formats=['markdown']` default)
`get_job_status`	Poll job (markdown, not raw HTML)
`cancel_job`	Cancel job
`list_jobs`	List jobs
`batch_scrape`	Up to 100 URLs (string or `{url,...}` objects)
`get_batch_status`	Batch progress
`get_usage`	Period usage via `api_tokens_used`

Notable parameters: use_antibot, proxy_country, proxy_sticky, proxy_profile_id, auto_retry, stealth modes, formats, only_main_content, extract_*.

Async/batch: no csv/xlsx formats (sync only).

HTTP transport

bash

finedata-mcp --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Health: GET /health. Protected resource metadata is served at the path-scoped URL for the endpoint — GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp — because FINEDATA_MCP_RESOURCE_URL carries the /mcp path. Clients normally find it from the WWW-Authenticate header on a 401 rather than guessing.
