         }
       }
     }
    }

Search the web

Get fresh, structured search results for docs, news, and pages. Your assistant answers from the live web instead of stale training data.

Read any webpage

Turn any URL into clean Markdown, including JavaScript-rendered pages. The model reads real page text, not raw HTML.

Discover URLs

Map the links across a site so your agent can plan routes, compare sections, or pick the right pages before pulling content.

What you can build

The same three tools power every workflow,
whether your client is an IDE assistant, a desktop chat app, or a custom agent

  • Code against live docs

    Pull current READMEs, changelogs, and API references while you code, so your assistant works from what shipped, not stale copy-paste.

  • Track public pages

    Watch pricing, launches, and policy pages, then summarize what changed using structured text instead of manual snapshots.

  • Power custom agents

    Call the same tools from any script or service that embeds an MCP client. Wire Olostep into internal bots, CI checks, or prototypes without a separate REST integration.

Frequently asked questions

Product & Capabilities

  • What does the Olostep MCP Server do?

    It adds three web tools to your AI client: web search, webpage content as Markdown, and URL discovery. Any client that supports MCP can use them with no custom code.

  • Is the MCP server open source?

    Yes. The implementation is on GitHub at github.com/olostep/olostep-mcp-server for review, contribution, or self-hosting.

  • What is the fastest way to install it?

    Install the Olostep CLI with npm install -g olostep-cli, then run olostep mcp install. It wires the server into Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, or Kilo for you.

Usage & Automation

  • Can I set it up without the CLI?

    Yes. Add an MCP server entry in your client's settings pointing at the hosted endpoint https://mcp.olostep.com/mcp, with an Authorization Bearer header holding your API key. A local stdio install via npx olostep-mcp also works offline.

  • Does it handle JavaScript-rendered pages?

    Yes. Page retrieval runs through Olostep's rendering pipeline, so dynamic single-page apps and script-heavy pages are supported, not just static HTML.

Pricing & Plans

  • Does Olostep offer a free trial?

    Yes, Olostep includes a free plan with 500 requests to help you test the API before upgrading. Paid plans start from $9/month and include 5,000 credits per month.
    This gives teams a low-risk way to evaluate Olostep's reliability, scalability and cost-effectiveness before moving to higher-volume usage.
