Overview

Outcrawl's hosted MCP server (api.outcrawl.ai); OAuth sign-in required; Streamable HTTP.

No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Outcrawl in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.outcrawlai%2Foutcrawl/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

    "outcrawl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp"

README

[Outcrawl]

Outcrawl MCP

Give your AI agent the web. Outcrawl is web infrastructure for AI agents: connect it once, then ask in plain words. Your agent reads any page as clean markdown or JSON, crawls a whole site, searches the web with the results already read, watches pages for changes, and hands a multi-step task (a login, a form, a flow across pages) to an agent working in a real browser.

  • Server: https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP)
  • Sign-in: OAuth in your browser on first use. No key to copy, nothing to paste into a config file.
  • 30 tools: scrape, crawl, search, agent runs, monitors, profiles, recorded sessions, usage, credits and workspace rules. Tool reference

The server is hosted by Outcrawl. There is no local package to install or run. You pick one workspace when you sign in, every call spends that workspace's credits, and every result reports what it cost. The Free plan has 1,000 credits a month; a page load is 1 credit. Pricing

Connect your agent

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http outcrawl https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp

The first tool call opens a browser to sign in and pick a workspace.

Or install the plugin, which adds the server and a skill that teaches Claude which tool to reach for:

text
/plugin marketplace add outcrawlai/outcrawl-mcp/plugin install outcrawl@outcrawl

Cursor

[Add to Cursor]

Or add it in Cursor's MCP settings (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

json
{ "mcpServers": { "outcrawl": { "url": "https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp" } } }

Codex

bash
codex mcp add outcrawl --url https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcpcodex mcp login outcrawl

Or in ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml
[mcp_servers.outcrawl]url = "https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp"

Gemini CLI

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/outcrawlai/outcrawl-mcp

Any other MCP client

Give the client the URL https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp and choose OAuth. It registers itself and signs you in through your browser on first use:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "outcrawl": { "url": "https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp" } } }
A client with no OAuth support

Create an API key in the console at https://outcrawl.ai/console/keys and send it as a header:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "outcrawl": {      "url": "https://api.outcrawl.ai/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ock_YOUR_KEY_ID.YOUR_SECRET" }    }  }}

This is the one place an API key belongs in an MCP config; every client above signs in instead.

Tools

GroupToolsWhat they do
Read the weboutcrawl_scrape, outcrawl_crawl, outcrawl_searchOne known URL to markdown, HTML, links, a screenshot or JSON; a whole site from a seed URL; a web search with every hit read in full
Agentsoutcrawl_agent and 9 moreGive a task to an agent in a real browser under caps you set, follow its steps, read its records as they land, cancel it, hand its browser to a person, pass it a file, list its downloads
Monitorsoutcrawl_monitor_create, outcrawl_monitor_list, outcrawl_monitor_deleteWatch a URL on a schedule and notify Discord, Slack or a webhook when it really changes
Profilesoutcrawl_profile_create, outcrawl_profile_list, outcrawl_profile_get, outcrawl_profile_deleteKeep cookies and site storage so a login survives across runs, optionally pinned to a country, region and city
Sessionsoutcrawl_sessions_list, outcrawl_sessions_get, outcrawl_session_network, outcrawl_session_request, outcrawl_session_downloads, outcrawl_session_deleteEvery session is recorded: its replay URL, network and console digest, any request in full, its downloads
Accountoutcrawl_usage, outcrawl_credits, outcrawl_rules_get, outcrawl_rules_setUsage over a date range, the credit pool, and workspace rules written in plain sentences

Pick the cheapest tool that answers: a scrape to read a page you know, a search to find pages, a crawl to cover a site, and an agent only when the answer is behind a login, a form or a multi-step flow. An agent run costs far more than a scrape for the same text.

Try it

Read https://outcrawl.ai/pricing and list the plans with their prices.

Search for the latest Model Context Protocol changes and summarize the top three.

Crawl the docs at https://outcrawl.ai/docs, at most 20 pages, and list the page titles.

Watch https://example.com/changelog every hour and post to my Slack webhook when it changes.
