CLI

Local MCP server

Run the commentscraper CLI as a local stdio MCP server for Claude Desktop and other clients that only support local servers.

On this page

For clients that only run local MCP servers, install the CLI, run commentscraper login, then add the server to the client's config. This page shows Claude Desktop. It is separate from the hosted connector, which most people should use.

Configure Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "commentscraper": {
      "command": "commentscraper",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The file is here:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
