MCP & IDE agents
Call Piloterr from Cursor, Claude Code, and MCP clients
Connect to our hosted MCP at mcp.piloterr.com (Streamable HTTP) and get the full Piloterr library as tools, or run a custom MCP server if you need a local subset over stdio.
- Hosted MCP at https://mcp.piloterr.com/, full library tools, no local process
- Streamable HTTP, connect from Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Developer mode
- LinkedIn, Amazon, Google News, website crawl/render, and the rest of the library
- Same x-api-key header and credit pool as the REST API

Why connect MCP
Hosted MCP | full library
https://mcp.piloterr.com/ speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP. Add it as a remote HTTP server with x-api-key, no local install. Every OpenAPI operation from the Piloterr library is registered as an MCP tool.
Not a web page
Opening the URL in a browser tab will not work: only MCP clients send the required Accept headers to complete the handshake. Use Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Developer mode.
Custom MCP | optional subset
Prefer a smaller surface or stdio locally? Run your own MCP server that wraps only the REST endpoints your team needs.
Production-grade bypass
Tools call Piloterr server-side: WAF, CAPTCHA, and JS rendering are handled before JSON reaches the model.
What the hosted MCP covers
One remote endpoint, the full product surface.
Full library tools
LinkedIn, Amazon, Google, company enrich, email, domain, and marketplace scrapers, each exposed as a typed MCP tool from the OpenAPI spec.
Website crawl and render
Website Crawler, Website Rendering, WebUnlocker, screenshots, and related fetch engines for any URL your plan allows.
Always in sync with the API
Tools are generated from the live OpenAPI document, so new library endpoints show up on the hosted MCP as the API grows.
Client compatibility
Cursor (Settings → MCP, HTTP streamable), Claude Code (claude mcp add --transport http), Gemini CLI (mcpServers httpUrl), ChatGPT Developer mode (remote MCP connector).
Why MCP + Piloterr beats raw fetch in agents
| Approach | DIY | Piloterr |
|---|---|---|
| Browser fetch tool | Blocked on protected sites | Managed anti-bot bypass |
| Copy-paste cURL | Manual, not composable | Typed MCP tools |
| HTML in context | Token-heavy, noisy | Compact JSON fields |
| Ops overhead | Proxies, headless Chrome | Hosted or single API key |
Connect MCP in four steps
Step 1
Create an API key
Sign up for Piloterr, open the dashboard, and create an API key. Send it as the x-api-key header on every MCP request.
Create an API keyStep 2
Use the hosted server (recommended)
Point your client at https://mcp.piloterr.com/ for the full library. Use a custom local server only if you need a trimmed tool list or stdio.
Step 3
Configure your MCP client
Add an HTTP (streamable) server pointing to https://mcp.piloterr.com/ with x-api-key in headers (Cursor .mcp.json, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT Developer mode).
Step 4
Verify and test
Check https://mcp.piloterr.com/health for the tool count, then ask your agent to call any library tool (LinkedIn, Amazon, crawl, and more).
Workflow recipes
Hosted: crawl from Cursor
Agent calls mcp.piloterr.com to fetch and render a competitor page while you write integration code.
Hosted: library toolbox
Use LinkedIn, company enrich, SERP, and marketplace tools from the same remote MCP without a local process.
Claude Code + hosted MCP
claude mcp add --transport http piloterr https://mcp.piloterr.com/ --header "x-api-key: …" for the full library in the terminal.
Custom subset when needed
Keep hosted MCP for most work, and add a small local server only for a curated internal tool list.
Hosted vs custom MCP
Scenario
Full Piloterr library from the IDE
Recommendation: Hosted MCP (Streamable HTTP)
Scenario
Trimmed tool list or offline stdio
Recommendation: Custom MCP server (stdio)
Scenario
Scheduled production pipelines
Recommendation: n8n or SDK
Scenario
No-code SaaS triggers
Recommendation: Zapier or Make
Hosted config and optional custom server
Remote Streamable HTTP at mcp.piloterr.com for the full library, or a local stdio server for a custom subset.
