API to search, extract and structure web data. Features web scraping, AI-powered answers with citations, batch processing (10k URLs), and autonomous site crawling for AI agents and LLMs. That is what the olostep mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
There are multiple ways to connect to the Olostep MCP Server. Choose the one that best fits your workflow.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Cursor — The easiest way is to use the remote endpoint. Create or edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:Windsurf — The Windsurf tool exposed by this serverMetorial — 1. Open Metorial dashboard 2. Navigate to MCP Servers directory 3. Search for "Olostep" 4. Click "Install" and enter your APIConfiguration is passed through the environment: OLOSTEP_API_KEY, ORBIT_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.
Because 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.
Plenty of search and retrieval servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Olostep's toolset — Cursor, Windsurf, Metorial — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by olostep; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

The simplest web tool that matters — fetch any URL and get model-ready markdown back.
Industrial-strength web extraction — render, scrape, crawl and search entire sites into clean markdown.
Puppeteer-powered browser control that drives pages from the accessibility tree instead of pixels.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
Put 6,000+ pre-built scrapers at your assistant's fingertips through one MCP endpoint.
