2Captcha MCP

MCP server exposing the full 2Captcha API surface — 31 captcha types, 5 management tools, 3 pingback CRUD tools, 3 webhook event-store tools, and 1 composite solve-and-wait tool (43 tools total) — to Claude Code via stdio.

Built on the official 2captcha-python SDK (AsyncTwoCaptcha), so retry/polling/parsing are handled upstream and every captcha type the SDK supports is available the moment the SDK adds it.

Quick start

bash

pip install twocaptcha-mcp
# or for development:
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Create a .env next to the project root:

bash

2Captcha_API_KEY=your_2captcha_key_here

Verify it works:

bash

python -m twocaptcha_mcp           # starts the stdio server (Ctrl+C to stop)

bash

claude mcp add 2captcha -e 2Captcha_API_KEY=your_2captcha_key_here -- python -m twocaptcha_mcp

After a claude restart, prompt the model with:

"Use twocaptcha_balance to check my account."

⚑ — proxy and user_agent are required by the SDK signature.

All solver tools accept the same set of optional kwargs (mixin SolverKwargs):

proxy: {type, uri} (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS4/SOCKS5)
pingback: HttpUrl — per-call pingback URL (must be pre-registered)
soft_id: int
cookies: str
user_agent: str
lang: str
header_acao: 0|1

Management (5)

twocaptcha_balance — current balance in USD
twocaptcha_report_good / twocaptcha_report_bad — report a captcha id within 15 minutes
twocaptcha_get_result — poll a captcha id manually (paired with send_raw)
twocaptcha_send_raw — escape hatch for SDK methods this server does not yet expose

Pingback CRUD (3)

twocaptcha_register_pingback — whitelist a callback URL
twocaptcha_list_pingbacks — list whitelisted addresses
twocaptcha_delete_pingback — delete one or addr="all"

Development

bash

pytest --cov=twocaptcha_mcp --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=92 -v
ruff check . && ruff format --check .
mypy --strict twocaptcha_mcp

Run live tests against the real 2Captcha API (consumes credits):

bash

pytest -m live --run-live          # balance + solve_normal + concurrent_balance
pytest -m e2e --run-e2e             # full MCP protocol roundtrip via mcp.client.session

Tool handlers depend only on the SolverClient / PingbackClient abstractions — the SDK is never imported from a handler. Adding a new captcha type is a 3-step process: schema → tool handler → snapshot test count bump.

Webhook receiver (optional, since 0.3.0)

For long-running solves (recaptcha v3 up to 600 s), the polling-mode SDK call holds the MCP request slot for the entire duration. Run the optional twocaptcha-mcp-webhook server to flip into pingback mode — 2Captcha POSTs the result to your URL, the receiver writes it to SQLite, and the MCP tools read asynchronously without blocking.

Composite tool: twocaptcha_solve_and_wait_pingback sends the captcha and waits on the local store
