A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that integrates with Olostep for web scraping, content extraction, and search capabilities. To set up Olostep MCP Server, you need to have an API key. You can get the API key by signing up on the Olostep website.

• Scrape website content in HTML, Markdown, JSON or Plain Text (with optional parsers)
• Parser-based web search with structured results
• AI Answers with citations and optional JSON-shaped outputs
• Batch scraping of up to 10k URLs
• Autonomous site crawling from a start URL
• Website URL discovery and mapping (with include/exclude filters)
• Country-specific request routing for geo-targeted content
• Configurable wait times for JavaScript-heavy websites
• Comprehensive error handling and reporting
• Simple API key configuration

env OLOSTEP_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y olostep-mcp

On Windows (PowerShell):

$env:OLOSTEP_API_KEY = \"your-api-key\"; npx -y olostep-mcp

On Windows (CMD):

set OLOSTEP_API_KEY=your-api-key && npx -y olostep-mcp

npm install -g olostep-mcp

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-olostep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "olostep-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OLOSTEP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or for a more straightforward way you can install via the Smithery CLI by running the following code in your device terminal

npx -y @smithery/cli install @olostep/olostep-mcp-server --client claude

Add this to your ./codeium/windsurf/model_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-olostep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "olostep-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OLOSTEP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

To configure Olostep MCP in Cursor:

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Go to Features > MCP Servers
3. Click "+ Add New MCP Server"
4. Enter the following:
   • Name: "olostep-mcp" (or your preferred name)
   • Type: "command"
   • Command: env OLOSTEP_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y olostep-mcp

Replace your-api-key with your Olostep API key.

Option 1: One-Click Installation (Recommended)

1. Open Metorial dashboard
2. Navigate to MCP Servers directory
3. Search for "Olostep"
4. Click "Install" and enter your API key

Option 2: Manual Configuration

Add this to your Metorial MCP server configuration:

{
  "olostep": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "olostep-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "OLOSTEP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
    }
  }
}

The Olostep tools will then be available in your Metorial AI chats.
