Connect VS Code to Upscrape

Add Upscrape to VS Code's agent once. Then it can pull live platform and website data into your project, priced before each call.

1
Add Upscrape to VS Code
Install it. VS Code opens your browser to sign in the first time it connects: approve Upscrape, and choose Trust if asked.

Add to VS Code
https://data.upscrape.com/mcp
2
Try it
Paste the request into Copilot Chat in agent mode.

Prefer to set it up by hand?

Add the server

Run MCP: Open User Configuration, or open .vscode/mcp.json in a project, and add:

{  "servers": {    "upscrape": { "type": "http", "url": "https://data.upscrape.com/mcp" }  }}

Sign in

VS Code opens your browser the first time it connects. Approve Upscrape, and choose Trust if asked.

On Copilot Business and Enterprise, an admin turns on MCP servers in Copilot first.

Questions

VS Code and Upscrape

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Do I need an API key?

No. VS Code 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 VS Code saw first. New accounts start with up to 100 free credits.

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