Official Octoparse MCP server for template discovery, cloud tasks, and structured data export.
Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. Octoparse MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Official Octoparse MCP server for template discovery, cloud tasks, and structured data export.
Octoparse MCP Server connects MCP-compatible AI clients to Octoparse so users can discover scraping templates, create cloud tasks from Octoparse preset templates, manage existing tasks, and export structured data.
The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:
search_templates — Find Octoparse templates by keyword, template ID, or slugexecute_task — Validate parameters, create a cloud task from an Octoparse preset template, and start extractionexport_data — Export task results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML when data is readysearch_tasks — Search existing tasks in the authenticated accountstart_or_stop_task — Start or stop an existing cloud task by task IDredeem_coupon_code — Redeem a promotion, coupon, or resource code supplied by the userBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Configuration is passed through the environment: YOUR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Octoparse's toolset — search_templates, execute_task, export_data and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by com.octoparse; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
