Can my AI automatically find the latest extracted data for a specific task?

Yes! Use the `get_not_exported_data` tool with the Task ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the newest records that haven't been marked as exported yet in seconds.

How do I find my Octoparse OpenAPI Access Token?

Log in to Octoparse, navigate to the **OpenAPI** section in your profile or developer portal, and follow the instructions to generate a Bearer token using your account credentials.

Can I start a scraper via the AI?

Absolutely. Use the `start_task` tool with your Task ID. The AI will command Octoparse to begin the extraction in the cloud immediately.

Octoparse + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Octoparse MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
