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

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.
