- AI-Powered Magic API — Automatically identify and extract tabular data from any website without pre-configured extractors, perfect for rapid exploration
- Status Monitoring — Poll ongoing extraction runs and crawl jobs to track processing states, success rates, and total pages processed
- Data Export — Retrieve extraction results in structured JSON or CSV formats, ready for spreadsheet processing or downstream application logic
- Usage Audit — Monitor your monthly API credit consumption and subscription limits to manage your data extraction budget effectively
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Import.io API Key
- Start extracting web data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — automate the collection of market data and pricing intelligence through natural conversation
- Market Researchers — perform large-scale competitor monitoring and web audits without manual scraping scripts
- Product Managers — verify data extraction schemas and monitor crawler health across multiple projects efficiently

Frequently asked questions
Can I extract data from a website without a pre-configured extractor?
Yes. Use the run_magic_api tool. It uses Import.io's AI logic to automatically detect and extract structured or tabular data from any URL, making it ideal for quick exploration of new data sources.
How do I monitor the progress of a bulk crawl job?
Use the get_crawl_status tool by providing the Crawl ID returned when you started the job. Your agent will report the current state, number of pages processed, and success rate in real-time.
Can I get my extracted data in CSV format for spreadsheet analysis?
Absolutely. Use the download_csv tool with a completed Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the extraction data in CSV format, perfect for processing in tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
