About
What is Olostep?
Olostep is the most reliable and cost-effective web data API that lets companies, developers and AI agents scrape, crawl, and search the web at scale — returning clean markdown, screenshot, structured JSON, or AI-powered answers from any URL.
What is MCP Server?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI editors and agents call external tools natively. MCP-compatible clients include Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf.
