MCP Server
Weekly update

New features

  • Dual-mode execute_task — The execute_task tool now automatically picks the best execution path for your client. Clients that support MCP Task receive real-time progress updates and streamed results as the run progresses. Other clients get a task ID immediately and can poll for results, so long-running scrapes no longer block the session.
  • API key authentication — You can now connect to the Octoparse MCP Server using an API key in addition to OAuth. API keys make setup easier in headless or automated environments such as Claude Code, VS Code, TRAE, and OpenClaw. Generate a key from the Octoparse account center.

Updates

  • Free trial credits for MCP — Free and Basic accounts now receive 2,000 records per week for MCP extraction, with no upgrade required to get started. See Prerequisites.
  • Gemini support — Gemini is now a fully supported client for the MCP Server. See the setup guide.
