Install CrawlKit Scrapers in VS Code

What you need first

• VS Code, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and VS Code connects to it.

Steps

1. In your project, create .vscode/mcp.json, or open it. For every project, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette instead.
2. Add this block. If the file already has servers, add only the entry inside it.

{
  "servers": {
    "crawlkit-scrapers": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=sweet_stickball/booking-scraper,sweet_stickball/airbnb-scraper,sweet_stickball/amazon-reviews-scraper,sweet_stickball/aliexpress-scraper,sweet_stickball/google-shopping-scraper,sweet_stickball/zillow-scraper,sweet_stickball/reddit-scraper,sweet_stickball/google-jobs-scraper,sweet_stickball/indeed-job-scraper,sweet_stickball/yelp-scraper,sweet_stickball/google-news-scraper,sweet_stickball/google-flights-scraper,sweet_stickball/shopify-store-scraper,sweet_stickball/telegram-public-channel-scraper,sweet_stickball/bing-ddg-serp"
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file and choose Start above the server's entry, or run MCP: List Servers. Its tools appear in Copilot Chat's agent mode.

Check it worked

Ask VS Code: List the tools of crawlkit-scrapers.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when VS Code asks.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
