Key features
- 01Web search and page reading
- 02Website mapping and crawling
- 03Schema-based data extraction
- 04Cited research reports
- 05Browser tasks and job tracking
- 06Company and people lookups
Use cases
- 01Research a topic across web sources
- 02Extract structured data from a page
- 03Review company news, profiles, or jobs
- 04Ask a browser agent to complete a page-based task
MCP support
Exposes web, research, browser, company, and people tools through a hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server. Clients connect with OAuth or an API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://api.clonvo.com/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http com-clonvo https://api.clonvo.com/mcp{"mcpServers":{"com-clonvo":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"com-clonvo":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"com-clonvo":{"type":"http","url":"https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"com-clonvo":{"serverUrl":"https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMEClonvo MCP server
Clonvo's remote Model Context Protocol server gives agents web search, page reading, site crawling, structured extraction, research reports, a browser agent, and company and people lookups.
Calls run on your own Firecrawl, Tavily, Exa, Parallel or TinyFish keys when you've added them to Clonvo, otherwise on Clonvo credits. Every call is listed in Clonvo's Activity with its cost.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://api.clonvo.com/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Authentication | OAuth: add the URL and sign in. An API key also works, for agents and scripts. |
This repository holds the server's documentation and its MCP Registry entry (server.json). The server itself is hosted by Clonvo; there's nothing to install or run.
Before you connect
Create a Clonvo account and buy credits once. That moves your organization to Pay as you go, which the tools need. Calls run on credits, or on your own key for a tool provider under Provider keys → Tools.
Connect with OAuth
Add https://api.clonvo.com/mcp to any app that supports remote MCP servers, then sign in to Clonvo when it asks. You choose the organization and project the app works in. There's no key to create or paste.
- ChatGPT, Claude and other apps with custom connectors: add a custom connector with the URL above.
- Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Codex: see the setup for each below.
An app connected this way can call the tools and nothing else. Its calls are billed to the organization you chose, and appear in Activity under the app's name. To see or disconnect your apps, go to Settings → Connected apps in Clonvo.
Connect with an API key
For agents and scripts that run without a person to sign in, create a key under API keys, keep it in an environment variable, and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>:
export CLONVO_API_KEY="sk-cv-v1-…"
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
web_search | Search the web for ranked pages with snippets. Narrow by category (news, companies, people, research papers, GitHub, PDFs, financial reports), domains or time range, and optionally get each page's content. |
web_scrape | Read one page as clean markdown or plain text. |
web_map | List a website's URLs, optionally ranked by a topic. |
web_extract | Read one page and get typed JSON back, shaped by a JSON Schema you give. |
web_answer | Get a short answer to a question from current web sources, with citations. |
find_similar | Find pages similar to a URL: competitors, other coverage, related papers. |
company_search | Find companies by what they do, their industry or the technology they use. |
company_enrich | Look up one company's profile by its domain, LinkedIn URL or name. |
company_news | Get recent news and announcements about a company. |
company_jobs | List a company's open job postings. |
company_similar | Find competitors and lookalikes of a company. |
people_search | Find professional profiles by role, company, name or a description. |
people_enrich | Look up one person's professional profile from their LinkedIn URL. |
web_crawl | Read many pages of one website as markdown. Runs as a job. |
web_research | Research a question across many sources and get a cited report, or data in a shape you give. Runs as a job. |
browser_task | Have a browser agent work through a page to reach a goal you describe. Runs as a job. |
job_status | Check a job and get its result once it's done. Free. |
Long-running tools return an MCP task to clients that support tasks. Other clients get the result directly when the job ends within about 25 seconds, otherwise a job id to check with job_status.
Prices for each tool are on clonvo.com/docs/tools.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http clonvo https://api.clonvo.com/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose Authenticate for clonvo. Add --scope user to use it in every project.
To use an API key instead, add --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLONVO_API_KEY", or commit a .mcp.json for your team where each person sets CLONVO_API_KEY:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clonvo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.clonvo.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${CLONVO_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
The Clonvo skills plugin for Claude Code connects this server too (sign in the same way), along with skills for building on the Clonvo API.
Cursor
Add Clonvo to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Cursor asks you to sign in when it first connects:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clonvo": {
"url": "https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"
}
}
}
To use an API key instead, add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:CLONVO_API_KEY}" }. Cursor replaces ${env:CLONVO_API_KEY} with the variable from the environment it starts in.
VS Code
Add Clonvo to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks you to sign in when it first connects:
{
"servers": {
"clonvo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.clonvo.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Codex
Add Clonvo and sign in:
codex mcp add clonvo --url https://api.clonvo.com/mcp
codex mcp login clonvo
To use an API key instead, add the server with --bearer-token-env-var CLONVO_API_KEY and skip the login.
Other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP can connect: by signing in with OAuth, or with the header Authorization: Bearer <your Clonvo API key>.
Clonvo's MCP docs cover the OpenAI Agents SDK, the Vercel AI SDK, OAuth details, routing between providers, and what a call returns.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
