Scout MCP Server
OfficialClick on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Scout MCP Serversearch for best climate tech startups 2026"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Scout CLI
Run Scout from the terminal, and wire the Scout MCP server into your coding agent with one command.
npm install -g @scout-ai/cli
# or run without installing: npx @scout-ai/cli search "..."Set your key once (get one at platform.usescout.sh/settings):
export SCOUT_API_KEY=sk_your_keyCommands
scout search "best climate tech startups 2026" --limit 5 --country us
scout scrape https://example.com
scout extract https://example.com/pricing --objective "plan names and prices"
scout crawl https://example.com --max-pages 50
scout screenshot https://example.com --full-page
scout company stripe.com
scout answer https://example.com "what does this company sell?"
scout find-all "Series A fintech companies in Europe" --limit 25Output is JSON on stdout, so it pipes into jq and friends:
scout search "serp api" --limit 3 | jq '.results[].url'Related MCP server: qsearch
Wire it into your coding agent
One command adds the Scout MCP server (web search, scraping, extraction) to your agent's config:
scout mcp install --client claude-code
scout mcp install --client codex
scout mcp install --client gemini-cli
scout mcp install --client antigravity
scout mcp install --client cursor
scout mcp install --client windsurfIt writes the config file each client expects (e.g. .mcp.json for Claude Code, ~/.codex/config.toml for Codex, ~/.gemini/settings.json for Gemini CLI). Pass --api-key to bake the key in, or set SCOUT_API_KEY first.
To see the raw config block without writing anything:
