Three steps: create a key, add the server to your client, describe what you want.
1

Create an API key

Open the Dashboard and go to API Keys → Create API Key.Name it after the client that will use it - Claude Code MCP, Cursor MCP - so you can tell keys apart later and revoke the right one.Select these scopes:Copy the key - it is shown only once.
proxies:write does not include proxies:read. Grant both, or the agent will fail partway through most workflows.

Add the server to your client

Every client uses the same endpoint and the same auth header:
For Claude Code, that is one command:
Using something else? Pick your client:

Claude Code

Claude Desktop

Codex

Cursor

VS Code

Windsurf

Cline

Other clients

Check the connection

Ask the agent something read-only. If it answers with a number, you are connected:
What is my 2extract balance?
The agent calls getAccountBalance and reports your available funds. Nothing is created and nothing is charged.
4

Create your first proxy

Now describe the job rather than the configuration:
Create a residential proxy in Germany for collecting Amazon product prices, cap it at 20 GB per month, and give me the connection string.
The agent resolves Germany to a country ID, picks a plan, confirms you have funds, creates the proxy with a name and description that match the task, sets the cap, and returns a connection string.
The new proxy appears in your Dashboard under My Proxies, exactly as if you had created it by hand.

Try a built-in prompt

The server ships four guided workflows. Clients that support MCP prompts expose them as slash commands - try:
It asks what the proxy is for, then handles the rest. See Prompts for all four.

​
What to ask for next

Plain language works. The agent resolves IDs, plans, and geo codes on its own.
  • Show my traffic usage and spend for the last 30 days.
  • Which cities can I target in Brazil?
  • Put a 100 GB monthly traffic cap on the price-monitor proxy.
  • Add 203.0.113.10 to the IP whitelist on my active proxies.
  • Find proxies I have not used in a month and deactivate them.
