FAQ from Octoparse MCP Server

What does Octoparse MCP Server do vs alternatives?

It connects AI clients to Octoparse's cloud extraction and template library, offering hosted server and built-in task management tools.

What are the runtime/dependency requirements?

Only an MCP-compatible client is needed. The server is hosted, so no local Octoparse installation or Node.js is required for end users.

Where does my data live?

Data is processed and stored in Octoparse’s cloud. Exported data is delivered via the export_data tool.

What are known limits?

Some templates are local-only (not runnable via the server). Cloud execution depends on account permissions, credits, and target site availability. Long-running tasks may require follow-up calls.
