OpticParse MCP server
Let your AI read web pages visually and check links for phishing or wallet drainers before it clicks.
OpticParse is a helper that lets your AI look at web pages the way a person does, by seeing the page instead of digging through messy code. It also comes with a safety check called PhishVision that warns you about scam links. It is handy if you ask your AI to research things online or follow links for you.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already learned. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to OpticParse, a service that reads web pages visually and checks links for danger. So when you ask your AI to look something up online, it can actually go look, and it can tell you if a link looks like a scam.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI to look at a web page or check a link. Your AI passes that request to this helper. The helper opens the page in a real browser, takes a visual snapshot, and turns what it sees into clean text your AI can read. If you asked about safety, it also checks the link for signs of phishing or crypto wallet drainers. Then your AI gives you back a tidy answer or a warning, right in the chat.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Read a web page and pull out the text, prices, or lists you care about
- Check a link before you click it and warn you if it looks like a scam
- Follow a page that uses lots of JavaScript and still get clean results
- Spot fake login pages that pretend to be real brands
- Detect crypto wallet drainer sites
- Summarize what is on a page without you copying and pasting anything
Try asking your AI
- “Look at this page and tell me the current pricing tiers: https://example.com/pricing”
- “Is this link safe to open? https://suspicious-site.xyz/login”
- “Go to this news page and give me the top five headlines with their scores”
- “Check whether this site is a real login page or a phishing copy”
What it gives back to you
You get back plain answers in the chat: summaries, lists, prices, headlines, or a safety verdict like safe or blocked. If it found a threat, it tells you what kind, such as a fake login page or a wallet drainer. If it read a page, you get the useful parts as clean text, not raw code.
Before you start
What you need
- An OpticParse account or API key from opticparse.com (an API key is like a password that lets apps use the service)

- Python 3.10 or newer if you install the Python package
Good to know
It opens web pages for you and can be pointed at any link, so only use it on sites you trust, and remember it reads pages you ask it to read.
