What the code does

We read the source, 18 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs a command on install [пакет] package.json:1
postinstall: echo '
CrawlForge MCP Server installed!

Quick start: run "npx crawlforge init" to configure your API key, install skills, and register the MCP server with your AI clients.
Or run "npx crawlforge-setup" to configure your API key only.
'

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add crawlforge-mcp-server -- npx -y crawlforge-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crawlforge-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "crawlforge-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

  "mcpServers": {
    "crawlforge-mcp-server": {
      "args": [

      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CRAWLFORGE_API_KEY (CrawlForge API key for authentication and usage/credit tracking. Get a free key at https://www.crawlforge.dev), DATAFORSEO_LOGIN (DataForSEO account login. Optional — only needed to enable the serp_rank tool (real Google organic rank lookups); billed separately to the caller's own DataForSEO account.), DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD (DataForSEO account password. Optional — only needed to enable the serp_rank tool.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Crawlforge MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Crawlforge MCP Server?
Crawlforge MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package crawlforge-mcp-server was installed 1 647 times last week.
How do I connect Crawlforge MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls crawlforge-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Crawlforge MCP Server?
The npm package crawlforge-mcp-server was installed 1 647 times in the last week. Week over week that is -58%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Crawlforge MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
