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.
Hosted Server
Use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:
https://mcp.octoparse.com
Configure this as an MCP server endpoint, not as a REST API tool.
Authentication
The hosted server officially supports both OAuth and API key authentication:
- OAuth: the default option when the MCP client can open a browser authorization flow.
- API key: an optional authentication method for clients that can send custom HTTP headers.
For API key mode, send the key in the x-api-key header. Do not place real keys in source control, issue reports, screenshots, or shared logs.
Quick Start
Generic HTTP MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"octoparse": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.octoparse.com"
}
}
}Claude OAuth / default authentication:
claude mcp add --transport http octoparse https://mcp.octoparse.com
Claude with API key:
claude mcp add --transport http octoparse https://mcp.octoparse.com --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Codex CLI:
codex mcp add octoparse --url https://mcp.octoparse.com
Gemini CLI example configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"octoparse": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.octoparse.com",
"oauth": {
"clientId": "Octoparse",
"enabled": true
}
}
}

Reconnect the MCP server in your client. If the client supports session recovery, it still needs to send fresh credentials with the new request.
Please do not open public issues for vulnerabilities or credential exposure. Contact Octoparse support through the Help Center or the published support channel, and include a concise, sanitized descri

Questions
What is the octoparse MCP server?
Official Octoparse MCP server for AI-powered web scraping workflows.
What tools does octoparse expose?
14 in total: 13 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is octoparse safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does octoparse need?
It reads EXECUTION_TASK_CREDENTIAL_HANDLE_TTL_SECONDS, REDIS_KEY_PREFIX and REDIS_PASSWORD from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does octoparse run?
It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as @octoparse/mcp-web-widget at 0.1.0.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (365d21c26528), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
