- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Cloud & DevOps](https://mcp.tc/c/cloud-devops)
- Vendor: Webshare
- Homepage: <https://apidocs.webshare.io/mcp>

## About

Connects an AI assistant to your Webshare account. It can list your proxies, check bandwidth and errors, replace proxies, manage IP authorizations and answer questions about your plan and billing.

It is a hosted server using Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.webshare.io/, so nothing needs to be installed. You sign in with your Webshare account through OAuth and no API key is needed. Clients ask for read access by default, and you can tick the write permissions on the consent screen if you want the agent to make changes.

## What it can do

- List your proxies and proxy configuration
- Check bandwidth usage, statistics and errors
- Replace proxies
- Manage IP authorizations
- Review plan, pricing and billing details
- Read account notifications

## Example prompts

- "List my Webshare proxies and show how much bandwidth I used this month."
- "Replace the proxies that are returning errors."
- "Add my current IP address to my IP authorizations."
- "What plan am I on and when does it renew?"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http webshare https://mcp.webshare.io/
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **webshare** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Webshare sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Webshare** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.webshare.io/
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Webshare asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Webshare&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.webshare.io%2F>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.webshare.io/` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Webshare asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.webshare.io/` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Webshare to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=webshare&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC53ZWJzaGFyZS5pby8ifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webshare": {
      "url": "https://mcp.webshare.io/"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=webshare&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.webshare.io%2F%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"webshare","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.webshare.io/"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "webshare": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.webshare.io/"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webshare": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.webshare.io/"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add webshare --url https://mcp.webshare.io/
codex mcp login webshare
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.webshare]
url = "https://mcp.webshare.io/"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http webshare https://mcp.webshare.io/
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth webshare` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webshare": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.webshare.io/"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.webshare.io/`.
