Install the Veedcrawl MCP Server

The Veedcrawl MCP server is a Node.js binary published to npm. You install it once globally, then add a short config block to your AI host of choice. The server starts automatically when your host launches and registers all five Veedcrawl tools without any additional steps.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or later — the veedcrawl-mcp binary requires a modern Node.js runtime.
A Veedcrawl API key — get one at veedcrawl.com.

Install the package

npm install -g @veedcrawl/mcp

This installs the veedcrawl-mcp command globally so any MCP host can find it by name.

Configure your host

Claude Desktop
Claude Code
Cursor
Windsurf / Codeium

Open the Claude Desktop config file for your operating system:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the veedcrawl entry inside mcpServers:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veedcrawl": {
      "command": "veedcrawl-mcp",
      "env": {
        "VEEDCRAWL_API_KEY": "ma_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save the file, then restart Claude Desktop. The five Veedcrawl tools will appear automatically in the tools panel.

Run this command in your terminal, replacing the key with your own:

claude mcp add veedcrawl -- env VEEDCRAWL_API_KEY=ma_your_key_here veedcrawl-mcp

Claude Code registers the server immediately — no restart required.

Open or create ~/.cursor/mcp.json and add the veedcrawl entry:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veedcrawl": {
      "command": "veedcrawl-mcp",
      "env": {
        "VEEDCRAWL_API_KEY": "ma_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor after saving.

Add the veedcrawl entry to your Windsurf MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veedcrawl": {
      "command": "veedcrawl-mcp",
      "env": {
        "VEEDCRAWL_API_KEY": "ma_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf after saving.
