Model Context Protocol
Give your AI tools live search data.
Connect an MCP client to PrismCrawl with OAuth sign-in or your existing API key. Search tools use the same provider parameters, credit balance, and request history as the REST API.

Connect with OAuth
- Add a remote MCP server using the URL below and the Streamable HTTP transport.
- Choose your client's OAuth or sign-in option.
- Sign in to PrismCrawl, review the application and return address, and select Allow access. Your account needs an active API key from the dashboard.
- Return to the client and refresh its tool list.
https://api.prismcrawl.com/mcpThe authorization server also provides a consent form that accepts your API key. Enter the key only on your PrismCrawl API server's authorization page. The client receives an access token; your API key stays with PrismCrawl.
Client setup
Configuration for common clients. In Claude, add a custom connector with the server URL. More per-client guides are in the prismcrawl-mcp repository.
claude mcp add --transport http prismcrawl https://api.prismcrawl.com/mcpThen run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in.
{
"mcpServers": {
"prismcrawl": {
"url": "https://api.prismcrawl.com/mcp"
}
}
}Then open Cursor Settings, find PrismCrawl in the MCP section, and sign in.
{
"servers": {
"prismcrawl": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.prismcrawl.com/mcp"
}
}
}Start the server from the MCP view and complete the sign-in prompt.
Connect with an API key
If your client supports custom request headers, copy your key from the dashboard and configure the x-api-key header. A Bearer API key in the Authorization header is also accepted.
{
"url": "https://api.prismcrawl.com/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "<PRISMCRAWL_API_KEY>"
}
}Use your client's equivalent URL and header settings; configuration-file formats vary. Use OAuth when your client does not support custom API-key headers.
Registered tools
Each tool publishes its input schema. Product and review tools use provider IDs; search tools use queries. Google Play Games supports category browsing and source-verified game search. Check the service catalog for operation-specific limits.
Yelp Business Lookup supports native business results within a 200-result window, and Yelp Reviews supports complete review pages. Category filters and alternative sorting are unsupported for business lookup. Google Maps Reviews supports native continuation tokens. If Google restricts review access and supplies a verified place preview, the response identifies that subset and its pagination limits. Restrictions without a verified preview return an upstream error.

Tools return structured provider data and a request ID. Native AI summaries include their source links when the provider returns them. A successful search, product lookup, or review request uses one credit. Discovering tools does not consume search credits; each successful pagination call does.
The server reports invalid parameters, unavailable upstream data, exhausted credits, and rate limits as tool errors. Review the returned result before making another paid request.
FAQ
Do I need to install anything to use the PrismCrawl MCP server?
No. PrismCrawl hosts the server. Point your MCP client at the server URL with the Streamable HTTP transport and sign in with OAuth or send your API key in the x-api-key header.
Is PrismCrawl in the official MCP Registry?
Yes. The server is published to the official Model Context Protocol Registry as io.github.prismcrawl/prismcrawl and is also listed on Glama.
How much does an MCP tool call cost?
Each successful tool call uses one credit, the same as a REST API request. Failed calls and tool discovery are free. Credits are one-time purchases with no subscription and are valid for 90 days.
Which MCP clients work with PrismCrawl?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. Clients without OAuth support can use an x-api-key header instead.
