Install the Oxylabs MCP Server

Pick your client. Remote first: nothing to install, and you sign in with OAuth where the client supports it. Config shapes checked against each client's docs on 2026-10-25.

The URL also takes Authorization, X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key as headers (see its docs), for clients without OAuth sign-in.

Run in a terminal, then /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in. Add --scope project to share it via .mcp.json. docs

claude mcp add --transport http oxylabs https://mcp.oxylabs.io/mcp

Security notes

  • The remote server runs at mcp.oxylabs.io, hosted by Oxylabs. You sign in with OAuth in clients that support it, or with Authorization and X-Oxylabs-AI-Studio-Api-Key headers where OAuth isn't available, and it acts with your account's permissions.
  • The local server runs with your user's permissions (uvx downloads it from PyPI on first run).
  • It reads web pages, and a page can carry prompt-injection instructions. Keep approval prompts on and use a browser profile without your personal sign-ins.
