How to Use the Olostep MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can I use Olostep with Claude Code in headless CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. Because Claude Code is terminal-only, you can trigger createbatch and process the results inside GitHub Actions or Docker containers.

Q: How do I pipe scraped markdown from Olostep to other CLI tools?

You tell Claude Code to run scrapeurl with the markdown format option, and then use standard terminal pipes to redirect the output to local files.

Pipe clean, JavaScript-rendered web data directly into your terminal pipelines using Olostep and Claude Code.

Claude Code CLI-driven single-page extraction

The `scrape_url` tool fetches fully rendered web content directly from your command-line interface. Claude Code runs this tool to grab clean markdown from any URL, allowing you to pipe the output straight into other terminal utilities. You can specify markdown, text, or raw HTML formats depending on your pipeline requirements. The agent processes the structured text immediately, making it easy to feed live web data into shell scripts.

Non-blocking asynchronous batch scraping

The `create_batch` tool handles bulk URL processing asynchronously, which is perfect for headless cron jobs and CI/CD pipelines. Claude Code queues the target URLs and checks the status using `get_batch` without hanging your terminal session. Once the run completes, the agent uses `get_batch_results` to download the entire dataset. This workflow lets you automate scheduled data collection tasks with simple shell commands.

Agent configuration and status monitoring

The `check_olostep_status` tool verifies API connectivity before you launch large-scale terminal scraping operations. Claude Code runs this pre-flight check to ensure your network and credentials are fully functional. To manage your budget from the CLI, the agent uses `get_usage` to monitor your credit consumption. This prevents scripts from failing mid-run due to exhausted limits.

Setup guide

Set up Olostep MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Open your terminal and run the command shown on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com. Use --scope user to make it available across all projects.
2

Verify the connection

Start a Claude Code session and type /mcp to list connected servers. You should see olostep-mcp with a green status indicator.
3

Start using tools

Ask Claude Code something like "Check my latest Olostep transactions." It will automatically discover and invoke the available Olostep tools.

Common questions about Olostep MCP in Claude Code

Yes. Because Claude Code is terminal-only, you can trigger `create_batch` and process the results inside GitHub Actions or Docker containers.

You tell Claude Code to run `scrape_url` with the markdown format option, and then use standard terminal pipes to redirect the output to local files.

Vinkius manages your API token securely, so Claude Code needs only one endpoint token to invoke any of the tools on this MCP Server.

Standard curl commands fail to render JavaScript-heavy pages, while this server executes the full JS payload before returning clean text.

All target URLs and scraped text pass through a zero-trust, ephemeral V8 isolate sandbox on Vinkius, meaning your data is never stored or logged permanently.
