How do I install Tor?

Copy the http config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Tor need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

Tor

by io.github.Shreyas-Profile

Route HTTP requests through the Tor network. Rotating exit IPs, .onion support, no body logging.

Power your agent

Add this server

The publisher's own URL. Not a PlugMCP endpoint.

Server URL

https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp

Provider

Add in Claude

Claude opens with the name and URL filled in. You still confirm it there.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http io.github.shreyas-profile-tor-mcp https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "io.github.shreyas-profile-tor-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Step-by-step: add this in Claude

Remote URL or a command on your machine? How the two installs differ

Run on PlugMCP

Host a copy with our keys and logs.

A new server you create. It is not this listing's official endpoint. Use the publisher install when you want their URL and their credentials.

What it does

Gives Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client four tools:

Tool	What it does
`tor_fetch(url, method?, headers?, body?)`	HTTP request through Tor; returns status/headers/body
`tor_get_exit_ip()`	Current exit node IP + country (verified via check.torproject.org)
`tor_new_circuit()`	Force a fresh Tor circuit (SIGNAL NEWNYM)
`tor_check(url)`	HEAD probe — is target reachable through Tor?

Honest scope

Tor exit nodes are blocked by Cloudflare on most big-brand sites (Indeed, Google, Amazon, etc.). Use tor-mcp for:

Non-Cloudflare sites
Geo-hidden fetches (see a site from a random country)
.onion services
IP-based rate-limit circumvention on APIs that don't blocklist Tor
Testing your own site from N different exits

If you need to hit Cloudflare-protected sites, use browser-mcp instead — real Chrome from a fixed Hetzner IP works for most WAFs, and you can layer a residential proxy on top for the rest.

Setup

Sign in with Google at tor.regiq.in
Generate an MCP API key on your dashboard
Add to Claude Desktop / Cursor:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tor": {
      "url": "https://tor.regiq.in/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Limits (per API key, free tier)

100 requests/day
30s timeout per request
10 MB response body cap
Methods: GET, POST, HEAD only

Higher quotas for aggregators — email [email protected].

Privacy

DNS resolves inside Tor (socks5h:// scheme) — no plaintext lookup from our host
We log: target host, method, response status, duration, size
We never log: full URLs, query strings, request bodies, response bodies, cookies, headers
Standard TorBrowser User-Agent sent by default

Self-host

git clone https://github.com/globalion/tor-mcp
cd tor-mcp
cp .env.example .env  # fill in
docker compose up -d --build

Then browse to http://localhost:3021.
