What is the Octoparse MCP Server?

Connect your Octoparse framework to your AI agent and turn cloud-based web scraping into a fully conversational command center.

What you can do

Task Execution — Trigger the launch engine using start_task whenever data refresh is needed, or invoke stop_task to halt runaway crawlers instantly.
Status Monitoring — Keep a pulse on active bots by calling get_task_status, or systematically drill down through your project taxonomy via list_task_groups and list_tasks.
Data Ingestion — Dump the latest extracted web rows natively into the AI's context using get_task_data, allowing the LLM to format, structure, or summarize the results immediately.
Token Operations — Authenticate dynamically utilizing get_token with your core credentials.

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Premium Octoparse API Credentials (Username/Email and Password)
Command your agent (e.g., Claude or Cursor) to spin up scrapers and read the downloaded data directly onto your IDE

Who is this for?

Data Engineers — trigger scheduled pipelines, check extraction states, and dump JSON samples to debug schemas without leaving your terminal.
Growth Hackers — quickly spin up an Amazon or LinkedIn scraper, grab the extracted table data, and have the AI formulate email lists simultaneously.
Business Analysts — fetch the competitive pricing matrices scraped overnight and ask the AI to summarize price drops directly in the conversation.

Built-in capabilities (10)

clear_task_data

Done to purge testing footprints before production crawls. Delete all securely stored data for an Octoparse task

get_task_data

Use offset-based pagination strictly to prevent memory crash exceptions (max 1000 limit). Export un-exported data from a completed Octoparse scraping task

get_task_status

Get the current running status of an Octoparse cloud task

get_token

0 password grant. Returns an access_token. The access_token must be stored and reused for API calls until expiration. Obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token from Octoparse

list_task_groups

Use these IDs to filter executing scraping tasks nested inside a specific folder limit. List all task groups (folders) in the Octoparse account

list_tasks

Each task includes a taskId, status, and creation date. Use the taskId for starting or polling data. List all configured cloud scraping tasks on Octoparse

mark_data_exported

Execute this immediately after a successful `get_task_data`. Mark all currently stored data in an Octoparse task as extracted

start_task

Task changes status to Running instantly. Start a cloud scraping task on Octoparse

stop_task

Stop a running Octoparse cloud task

update_task_params

g. changing the core search URL or injected keywords) without opening the Octoparse IDE cleanly scaling parameterized bots. Dynamically update URL or parameter constraints driving a task

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I have my AI format the scraped JSON into a clean Markdown table?

Absolutely. Because Octoparse MCP connects natively via the get_task_data capability directly into the AI's isolated context window, the language model can instantly translate cumbersome JSON fields into polished, structured, and legible tabular outputs on demand.

Is it possible to track task progress percentage in the chat?

Yes. When you instruct your agent to run get_task_status, it fetches the real-time runtime progress metrics from Octoparse's cloud. You'll see whether it's Waiting, Running, or Completed, along with how many rows have been extracted so far.

Do I need a paid Octoparse plan for API capabilities to work?

Yes. Octoparse explicitly limits their Advanced Cloud APIs strictly to their paid subscription levels. A Free tier account will reject the authentication tokens when attempting to fetch the runtime data.

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.
