The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the Prismcrawl listing page.
Connect Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients to PrismCrawl: live search results, AI answers, products, places, and reviews returned as structured JSON. See the MCP server page for an overview.
PrismCrawl runs this server for you. You don't install anything; you point your MCP client at the endpoint below.
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Authentication | OAuth 2.1, or an API key in the x-api-key header |
| Registry name | io.github.prismcrawl/prismcrawl (listing) |
| Tools | Read-only search, maps, reviews, and app store tools (full list) |
You need a PrismCrawl API key. Sign up at prismcrawl.com and create a key in the dashboard. It's free, and you don't need a card. You need the key whether you connect with OAuth or pass it in a header.
Pricing: at volume, prepaid credit packages bring the price as low as $0.15 per 1,000 successful requests, and failed requests are free. That's 100x cheaper than SerpApi. See pricing.
zero_trace.Create a free account at prismcrawl.com and create an API key in the dashboard. New accounts get 100 credits, and you don't need a card.
Add the server to your client:
Claude Code
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in.
Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json)
Then open Cursor Settings, find PrismCrawl in the MCP section, and sign in.
Other clients: add a remote server with the URL above and choose OAuth, or set an x-api-key header.
Ask your assistant something like "Find the top-rated ramen places near Union Square, SF and summarize their recent Yelp reviews."

Each successful tool call uses one PrismCrawl credit. Failed calls are free, and so is tool discovery (tools/list). Requesting another page is a separate call and uses a credit.
See prismcrawl.com for current pricing.

This repository contains documentation and the registry manifest (server.json) for the hosted server. It does not contain the server's source code, and changes here don't affect how the server behaves.
