Give your AI tools real-time web access
Capabilities
What Olostep exposes to MCP hosts
The server registers search, page content, and URL mapping as MCP tools. Your host uses the same protocol it already uses for other integrations—no vendor-specific SDK for basic web access.
Any MCP-compatible host can register the server and call the same tool names and parameters.
Olostep handles rendering, scale, and output formats; your model reasons over returned Markdown and structured JSON.
Use one API key from the Olostep dashboard across local installs and shared environments.
Inspect, fork, or self-host the open-source package on GitHub when you need full control.
Ground assistants on live information with structured search results—documentation, news, and pages without one-off scraping scripts.
View in docsTurn URLs into clean Markdown, including JavaScript-rendered sites, so the model reads real page text instead of raw HTML.
View in docsMap and filter links across a site so agents can plan routes, compare sections, or collect pages before deeper extraction.
View in docsTool names, parameters, and examples are in the MCP integration guide.
Setup
One configuration snippet for any MCP host
Paste the configuration into your host's MCP settings (labels differ by product). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from the Olostep dashboard. The docs list common hosts and where to paste or reload the server list.

Use cases
Typical patterns across MCP hosts
These patterns apply whether the MCP host is an IDE assistant, a desktop chat app, or a custom agent runtime.
Pull current READMEs, changelogs, and API references while coding or answering questions—without stale copy-paste.
Search, read pages, and combine findings across sources in one session for briefs, comparisons, and verification.
Track public pages—pricing, launches, policies—and summarize changes using structured text instead of manual snapshots.
Call the same tools from scripts or services that embed an MCP host—wire Olostep into internal bots, CI checks, or prototypes without a separate REST integration.
