Let Copilot CLI set it up

Run copilot and paste the prompt. It adds Upscrape, asks you to approve the sign-in, then runs a first request.

Set up the Upscrape MCP server in Copilot CLI for me, then use it once.1. Add `"upscrape": {"type": "http", "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp", "tools": ["*"]}` under `mcpServers` in ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json, keeping anything already there.2. Then tell me to run /mcp auth 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?

Add the server

Add Upscrape under mcpServers in ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json, or run /mcp add in Copilot CLI:

{  "mcpServers": {    "upscrape": { "type": "http", "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp", "tools": ["*"] }  }}

Sign in

Questions

Copilot CLI and Upscrape

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Do I need an API key?

No. Copilot CLI 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 Copilot CLI saw first. New accounts start with up to 100 free credits.

What can Copilot CLI 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 Copilot CLI if it still shows no Upscrape tools. Still stuck? Write to [email protected] with what Copilot CLI shows.
