Turn Your MCP Client Into a Data Processing Powerhouse

Stop juggling multiple APIs and services. The Dumpling AI MCP server gives you 28 powerful tools through one clean interface — from web scraping and document processing to AI completions and code execution.

Why This Matters for Your Workflow

You're probably familiar with the pain: need to scrape some data? Set up a scraping service. Extract text from PDFs? Find an OCR API. Run quick Python calculations? Spin up a sandbox environment. Generate images? Another API key to manage.

This MCP server eliminates that complexity. One installation, one API key, 28 capabilities that work together seamlessly.

Real-World Applications

Research & Content Creation

// Extract YouTube transcript, scrape related articles, generate summary
await mcp.call("get-youtube-transcript", { 
  videoUrl: "https://youtube.com/watch?v=...", 
  includeTimestamps: true 
});

await mcp.call("search", { 
  query: "topic from video", 
  scrapeResults: true,
  numResultsToScrape: 5 
});

Data Pipeline Automation

// Crawl competitor sites, extract structured data, process with AI
await mcp.call("crawl", {
  baseUrl: "https://competitor.com",
  maxPages: 50,
  scrapeOptions: { format: "markdown", cleaned: true }
});

await mcp.call("extract", {
  url: "https://competitor.com/products",
  instructions: "Extract product names, prices, and availability",
  schema: { products: [{ name: "string", price: "number" }] }
});

Document Processing Workflows

// Convert documents, extract text, analyze with AI
await mcp.call("convert-to-pdf", { 
  url: "https://example.com/document.docx" 
});

await mcp.call("extract-document", {
  url: "converted-pdf-url",
  options: { ocr: true, includeMetadata: true }
});

Quick Setup

The fastest way to get started:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @Dumpling-AI/mcp-server-dumplingai --client claude

Or run directly:

env DUMPLING_API_KEY=your_api_key npx -y mcp-server-dumplingai

For Claude Desktop, add this to your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dumplingai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-dumplingai"],
      "env": {
        "DUMPLING_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Why This Beats Managing Multiple Services

Unified Interface: All tools follow the same MCP pattern. No switching between different API styles or authentication methods.

Intelligent Error Handling: Detailed error messages with context, not cryptic HTTP codes.

Seamless Integration: Tools are designed to work together. Extract data from one source, process it with another, analyze with AI — all in the same session.

Cost Efficiency: One subscription replaces multiple service fees. No surprise billing from different providers.

Perfect for These Use Cases

• Research Teams: Automated data collection and analysis pipelines
• Content Creators: Multi-source research with AI-powered summarization
• E-commerce: Competitor analysis and market research automation
• Data Scientists: Quick prototyping with integrated code execution
• Marketing Teams: Social listening and content extraction workflows

What Developers Are Saying

The server handles the complex stuff (authentication, rate limiting, error handling) so you can focus on building. It's TypeScript-first with proper Zod validation, making integration predictable and debuggable.
