Products

Pick the tool for the job. Or let your agent pick it.

  • Scrape

    Any web page as clean markdown or JSON your model can read, including pages that only load with JavaScript. For example, a product page into its name, price and stock level.

    1 credit a page · about $0.0032 to $0.0049

    See scrape
  • Crawl

    One link in, every page on the site back, each sent to you as soon as it is read. For example, a company’s whole docs site into your search index.

    1 credit a page · about $0.0032 to $0.0049

    See crawl
  • Search

    The top results for a query, with each page already read if you ask, so your agent answers in one step. For example, this week’s coverage of a topic, with the article text.

    5 credits per 10 results · about $0.016 to $0.025

    See search
  • Browsers

    A real browser in the cloud that your agent drives with Playwright, Puppeteer or our TypeScript SDK. Logins carry over between sessions, and every session is recorded.

    1 credit a minute · about $0.19 to $0.29 an hour

    See browsers
  • Agents

    Describe a task in plain words. An agent does it in a real browser, reports what it found, and you can take over at any point.

    About 15 credits a minute · about $0.07 to $0.08

Ways in

Connect once, then ask. Your agent calls the tools for you.

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

Your browser opens to sign in the first time Claude Code calls a tool. No key to paste.

  1. Your AI agent

    Add Outcrawl to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor with one command, then ask in plain words. Your agent reaches 27 tools and picks the right one. The first call opens our sign-in page, and signing in creates your account.

    How the MCP server works
  2. Your terminal

    One command-line program, for agents that work in a shell and for jobs that run on a schedule. It reaches 55 of the 60 calls in the API.

    How the CLI works
  3. Your own app

    When your agent builds Outcrawl into an app, it uses the TypeScript or Python SDK, which reach all 60 calls. The TypeScript SDK also opens a live browser.

    How the SDKs work

What each reaches

Most of the platform, from all three. Here is exactly where they differ.

SDKYes
Crawl

Your agent's crawl call answers with every page once the crawl ends. Checking on a crawl, paging through its pages and stopping it are in the CLI and the SDKs.

Browsers

A live browser stays connected for the whole session, which a tool call or a command cannot. Your agent writes a short Playwright or Puppeteer script against one URL instead, or hands the task to an agent.

Your agent can list sessions, open one and read what went wrong. Full event and network logs, videos, HAR files and sharing are in the CLI and the SDKs; exporting a session is in the SDKs.

Saved credentials

A person stores the passwords, cards and billing profiles agent runs may use from the CLI or the SDKs. The console lists and revokes them: passwords under Secrets, cards and billing profiles in Wallet. Not over MCP, on purpose: your agent reads web pages, and a page could ask it to.

Wallet

Connecting a card provider, so each run gets a card of its own, reading every purchase and setting when one waits for a yes are done by a person, in the console, the CLI or the SDKs. Not over MCP, on purpose: a page your agent reads could ask it to connect a card or turn that question off.

Connected tools

Connecting another MCP server, such as Gmail or Slack, for agent runs to use is done by a person, in the console, the CLI or the SDKs.
