What You'll Need

Set these up before or after installing:

A domscout API key from https://www.domscout.io/dashboard/api-keys. Every tool call is billed to the account that owns it.Required

Environment variable: DOMSCOUT_API_KEY

Override the API host. Only needed against a non-production deployment; omit it in normal use.Optional

Environment variable: DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL

Override the host the documentation resources are read from. It cannot be derived from DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL, because the API host serves no llms-full.txt.Optional

Environment variable: DOMSCOUT_DOCS_BASE_URL

How to Install

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io-github-jkresearch8-domscout": {
      "env": {
        "DOMSCOUT_API_KEY": "your-domscout-api-key-here",
        "DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL": "your-domscout-base-url-here",
        "DOMSCOUT_DOCS_BASE_URL": "your-domscout-docs-base-url-here"

Documentation

From the project's GitHub README.

@domscout/mcp

Use domscout as MCP tools to read pages as Markdown, capture screenshots, extract structured data, inspect interactive structure, automate browser flows, and crawl allowlisted sites.

Install

Create an API key at https://www.domscout.io/dashboard/api-keys, then add the server to your client. Node.js 20 or newer is the only requirement; npx fetches and runs it, so there is nothing to install or build.

Environment

VariableRequiredPurpose
DOMSCOUT_API_KEYFor tool callsYour API key. The server starts and lists its tools without one; every tool call needs it.
DOMSCOUT_BASE_URLNoOverrides the current production gateway for an intentionally separate deployment.
DOMSCOUT_DOCS_BASE_URLNoWhere the contract resources (/llms-full.txt, /openapi.json) are fetched from. Separate from DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL because the docs are served by the marketing site, not the API gateway, and that host has no /llms-full.txt. Defaults to https://www.domscout.io.

The default targets https://api.domscout.io. API requests do not follow redirects, so the key is never re-sent to another URL: a DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL that answers with a redirect fails with an error naming the status. Point it at the final URL instead. Verify the key in the dashboard before connecting a client; never commit or paste the key into prompts.

Security

The MCP server sends an x-api-key to the configured API host and reads the response. It has no browser, database, or billing credential. Keep the key in the MCP client environment block; do not commit it or paste it into prompts.
