Anthropic shipped MCP 2026-07-28. We moved our hosted server at mcp.piloterr.com to that version.
If you already connect with Cursor, Claude Code, or another MCP client: keep the same URL and x-api-key. Nothing to reconfigure on your side.
What MCP is (quickly)
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how AI clients call external tools. Instead of pasting cURL into a chat, the agent gets typed tools and structured JSON back.
Piloterr exposes Website Crawler and Website Rendering over that protocol. One API key, anti-bot handling on our side. Details: MCP integration.
What changed under the hood
The new spec puts MCP on a stateless request/response model. Servers no longer keep a long-lived session for every client. That fits Streamable HTTP and makes the server easier to run and scale.
For you, the useful bits are:
- Same endpoint:
https://mcp.piloterr.com/ - Same auth:
x-api-keyheader - Same tools: crawler and rendering
- Health check still at mcp.piloterr.com/health
Connect (unchanged)

Need LinkedIn, Amazon, or another library API? Wrap those REST endpoints in a small custom MCP server. The MCP guide covers both paths.
