supadata-ai/mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Supadata for video transcript extraction, web scraping, crawling, and site discovery.
Features
- **Video transcript extraction** from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and file URLs
- Web scraping, crawling, and URL discovery
- Media metadata retrieval from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter
- AI-powered structured data extraction from video content
Installation
For setup instructions for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and other clients, see the integration guide.
Running
Stdio (default)
Running the package starts an MCP server on stdio. This is what MCP clients
(Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ...) use when they spawn the server:
Example client configuration:
Streamable HTTP (hosted)
The same tools are served over Streamable HTTP by the Cloudflare Worker in
src/worker.ts, deployed at https://api.supadata.ai/mcp with OAuth 2.1.
Run it locally with npm run dev (wrangler). Direct x-api-key header
authentication is also accepted on /mcp.
An OAuth connection stays alive while it is used and expires after 30 days
without use. Then clients have to log in again; Codex keeps retrying the
expired login instead of asking, so run codex mcp login supadata if Supadata
tools stop working in Codex.
Configuration
Environment Variables
- SUPADATA_API_KEY: Your Supadata API key (required for the stdio server). Get one at dash.supadata.ai
- DEBUG: set to true for verbose logging
- RUN_STDIO: set to true to force the stdio server to start when the module is imported rather than executed directly
