Run one command
It starts Codex with a setup prompt. Codex adds Upscrape, asks you to approve the sign-in in your browser, then runs a first request.
codex 'Set up the Upscrape MCP server in Codex for me, then use it once. 1. Run `codex mcp add upscrape --url https://data.upscrape.com/mcp`. 2. It usually starts the sign-in itself; if it does not, run `codex mcp login upscrape`. The browser opens for me to approve. Leave the approval to me, and never ask me for a password, key or token. 3. If the Upscrape tools are not available in this session yet, tell me exactly how to load them and wait for me. 4. When they are available: Use Upscrape to show me which platforms it covers, then suggest one small request I could try.'
Prefer to set it up by hand?
Codex starts the sign-in itself when it finds the server.
codex mcp add upscrape --url https://data.upscrape.com/mcp
The same in ~/.codex/config.toml, then sign in.
[mcp_servers.upscrape]url = "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp"# then: codex mcp login upscrape
Codex and Upscrape
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Do I need an API key?
No. Codex signs in to Upscrape with OAuth in your browser. If your setup cannot open a browser, create an API key in the console and send it as Authorization: Bearer followed by the key.
What does it cost?
Connecting is free, and so are searching the catalog, checking prices and reading results. Only a call that runs and succeeds spends credits, at the price Codex saw first. New accounts start with up to 100 free credits.
What can Codex do with Upscrape?
Search the catalog in plain words, read an endpoint's input and price, run it, and collect long lists page by page, on every platform in the catalog and any public website.
It does not connect. What now?
Check that the address is exactly https://data.upscrape.com/mcp, sign in again, and restart Codex if it still shows no Upscrape tools. Still stuck? Write to [email protected] with what Codex shows.
