The agent turns the returned records into a short, sourced answer. Open each discussion to check the context.

An answer you can verify

The tool surface

One connection. 12 focused tools.

MCP reference

Discovery & requests

call_endpoint: Request structured data from an endpoint.
list_endpoints: Discover platforms and search the endpoint catalogue.
get_endpoint: Inspect parameters, credit costs and a request example.
get_balance: Check the account’s remaining credits.

Monitors

list_monitors: List the account’s monitors and schedules.
get_monitor: Inspect one monitor and its recent runs.
create_monitor: Preview a watch, then confirm its creation.
update_monitor: Pause, resume or edit a monitor.
run_monitor: Estimate and confirm an immediate check.
monitor_findings: Read findings with evidence links.
mark_monitor_findings_seen: Mark monitor findings as seen
delete_monitor: Confirm removal of a monitor.

Spend deliberately

Give the agent a key.
Set its limit.

Create a dedicated API key with a lifetime credit cap. Revoke it whenever you need to stop access.

Approvals live in your client. Ordinary API calls can spend credits immediately. Enable tool approval in your agent’s settings.
Monitors have their own monthly caps. Scheduled checks use the account balance, separately from the creating key’s lifetime cap.

Plan your integration

Know the scope.

Sources and availability

Use a compatible Streamable HTTP MCP client, including supported coding-agent setups, or call REST from Python, TypeScript and HTTP-based workflow tools such as n8n.

What to keep in mind

Ordinary endpoint calls can spend credits immediately. Configure approval in your agent client if you need it. Retrieved web content is untrusted input, not instructions for your agent to follow.

Questions, answered

About ai agents & workflows.

What is the Monocrawl MCP server?

It is a hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint that exposes tools for API discovery, requests, balance and monitors. It uses the same account key and underlying API metering, so you do not need a separate scraping integration for every platform.

Can I use Monocrawl with an HTTP workflow instead?

Yes. Use the REST API from your own application or a standard HTTP Request node in a workflow tool. Store the API key in a server-side environment or credential store, not in a public page or shared prompt.

Does an agent need permission before spending credits?

Ordinary call_endpoint requests execute immediately and may spend credits. Set approvals in your client if required. Dedicated create, run and delete monitor tools have confirmation semantics documented in the MCP reference.

Does Monocrawl produce an AI research briefing?

These integrations provide tools and structured public data for your own agent. They do not promise a finished AI briefing or an accurate conclusion. Your application should inspect source evidence, handle incomplete results and validate the agent’s output.
