Last reviewed: September 18, 2026.
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.
Setup
{
"mcpServers": {
"domscout": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@domscout/mcp"],
"env": {
"DOMSCOUT_API_KEY": "ds_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
DOMSCOUT_API_KEY | Yes | Your API key. |
DOMSCOUT_BASE_URL | No | Overrides the current production gateway for an intentionally separate deployment. |
DOMSCOUT_DOCS_BASE_URL | No | Where 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 — 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.
Requirements
Node.js 20 or newer. npx -y @domscout/mcp downloads and runs it; there is
nothing to install or build.
