Signing In

Connect the OpenGraph MCP Server however suits you best — sign in with your account, or use an API key. Both work with the hosted server at https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp.

Sign in with your account

If your client supports it (Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code with the MCP extension, and others), just point it at the hosted server with no credentials. You'll be prompted to sign in through your browser once, and the client remembers you after that.

Hosted config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opengraph": {
      "url": "https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  • No API key to copy or store in a config file
  • Required for the Site Audit and Link Preview tools
  • Works alongside your existing dashboard login

Use an API key

Prefer a static config, or using a client that doesn't support sign-in yet? Add your App ID as a header instead:

Hosted config with API key
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opengraph": {
      "url": "https://mcp.opengraph.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-app-id": "YOUR_OPENGRAPH_APP_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}

Don't have an App ID? Get one free → or visit the Install Hub for ready-made configs for every client.

Which one do I need?

Web data (fetch, scrape, screenshot, markdown, extract, query)YesYes

Site Audit and Link Preview bill against your organization's plan rather than a single API key, so those tools need you to sign in. Learn more →
