Questions

CrustAPI MCP server

Give any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Claude Code) live Google and public LinkedIn data. It calls the hosted CrustAPI /v1/search and /v1/linkedin endpoints.

Tools

search covers the whole Google menu behind one tool. Pick the surface with type: web, maps, places, news, shopping, images, videos, scholar, patents, autocomplete.
scrape_webpage fetches any URL as clean text + metadata + JSON-LD (RAG-ready).
get_reviews pulls Google reviews for a business (by placeId/cid/fid or a name query).
linkedin covers public LinkedIn data behind one tool. Pick the surface with type: profile, company, posts, jobs, or search (people search). Add enrich=true on people search to get each person's full profile.

You only pay for successful results; empty results are free. Get a free key (3,000 credits/month, no card) at https://crustapi.com.

Installation

Recommended: npx, nothing to install.

Add this to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crustapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "crustapi-mcp"],
      "env": { "CRUSTAPI_API_KEY": "key_live_xxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client and the four tools appear. Requires Node 18+.
