What is the Olostep MCP Server?
Connect your Olostep account to any AI agent and take full control of your web scraping orchestration and automated data extraction workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Scraping Batch Orchestration — List and manage your entire portfolio of scraping batches programmatically, retrieving detailed technical status and URL counts
- URL Extraction Intelligence — Programmatically trigger and monitor real-time URL scrapes to maintain a perfectly coordinated knowledge pipeline
- Agent & Schedule Architecture — Access your complete directory of research agents and automated schedules to oversee your organizational data ingestion
- Hosted Result Monitoring — Access hosted result URLs (Markdown, JSON) and retrieve technical metadata for your research archive in real-time
- Operational Monitoring — Verify account-level API connectivity and monitor scraping volume directly through your agent for perfectly coordinated service scaling
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from your Olostep dashboard (Settings > API)
3. Start orchestrating your data growth from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual checking of individual scraping jobs or missing batch completion alerts. Your AI acts as your dedicated data coordinator and extraction architect.
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — instantly retrieve batch performance recaps and monitor scraping status using natural language commands
- Researchers — verify individual URL metadata and track extraction history without leaving your creative workspace
- Developers — integrate high-speed Olostep scraping data into custom LLM and RAG pipelines through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I scrape a web page via AI?
Use the scrape_url tool with the target URL and optional format (markdown, html, or text). The content is extracted and returned instantly.
Can I scrape multiple URLs at once?
Yes. Use create_batch with comma-separated URLs to submit a batch job. Track progress with get_batch and retrieve results with get_batch_results.
What are scraping agents and how do I use them?
Agents are reusable scraping configurations with custom extraction rules. Use create_agent to set one up and list_agents to manage them.
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.
