The MCP map lists 382 tools and says the category manifests 'narrow metadata for your integration; the MCP connection still advertises the full catalog'. That is more than 30 tools with no toolsets, dynamic loading or read-only subset found (5). Search tools page by `page` (about 20 results), with filters such as marketplace, category node, sort and device per tool, but no general pagination model or field selection, and output size depends on each tool (12 of 20). By default business errors answer HTTP 200 with an outer `code`. The `X-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic` header maps them to HTTP statuses, the OpenAPI file names codes such as `DATA_IMAGE_DOWNLOAD_FAILED` and `CAPABILITY_BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE` in field text, and MCP errors aren't documented. SandBase earned 16 with typed bridge errors (11 of 20). Data calls only read. No idempotency keys and no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint documented. Async jobs return a `taskId` with a poll tool and a rule not to resubmit, and 1688 order, payment-link, receipt and cancel calls need an explicit JSON `true` confirmation (8 of 20). Few required parameters with defaults on most. No official SDK package, only standard-library clients in the repository for JavaScript and Python, which SoldFetch earned 8 for (8 of 15). 5+12+11+8+8 = 44.\n- Olostep (87): 11 MCP tools, and the API lets you choose formats and page results (20 of 25). Cursor pagination and `items_limit` on crawl and batch results, and batches of up to 100,000 URLs (20). Structured error objects with a code an agent can branch on (17 of 20). All 11 MCP tools carry readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and idempotentHint, with the two job creators marked non-idempotent, and no idempotency keys on the API (15 of 20). Python and Node SDKs and a CLI, one required field on a scrape (15).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Olostep +30\n\n- Nexscope (35): No x402, MPP or L402 on pricing, the quickstart, the MCP map, llms.txt or the visible OpenAPI paths. Credits come from a subscription or a Data top-up (0). Plans and credits per plan are public without a login ($29 for 30,000, $55 for 75,000, $129 for 150,000), and tool pages show credits per call, such as Amazon Search from 21 credits with a recent average of 30. Many tools on the MCP map list no cost and pricing is marked 'dynamic-credits'. Manifold earned 20 with a cost for every tool (15 of 20). A Free Trial of 1,000 credits for 3 days with 'No credit card required', API and MCP limits included. Creative API keys need a subscription (20). A person signs in through the browser to approve OAuth or create a key, and no keyless or programmatic route was found (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.\n- Olostep (65): x402 documented on POST /v1/scrapes and /v1/maps at $0.01, /v1/answers at $0.05 and /v1/crawls at a dynamic price, USDC on Base through the Orthogonal facilitator, but not on batches or search. Our unpaid POST on 30 September got a 402 with an empty body and no payment requirements, so a stock client had nothing to sign (15 of 40). Plans, per-operation credit costs and credit packs from $20 for 10,000 are public (20). Trial of 500 successful requests with no card (20). The x402 route would let an agent start without signup, but it didn't return a price in our probe (10 of 20).\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Olostep +24\n\n- Nexscope (64): A public OpenAPI 3.1 file at api.nexscope.ai/openapi.json, about 3.8 MB, linked from the quickstart. Visible request bodies are typed with required fields, patterns, enums and `additionalProperties: false`, but responses are open `data` objects and the components section, with the security scheme and the shared error response, wasn't reached. In the repository 166 of 252 request definitions are field descriptors rather than JSON Schema. The hosted tools/list wasn't read. SoldFetch took 17 with untyped responses and SandBase 22 with components unread (19 of 25). llms.txt on www.nexscope.ai and Markdown references for every API in the repository (10). MCP tool descriptions are one line ('Find Amazon products by keyword and marketplace. Results come back as structured JSON.'), with no when-not-to-use. The repository's references carry long trigger text ('trigger this skill whenever their need involves real-time Amazon search results'), not guidance on when to pick another tool (10 of 20). Tool pages list types, defaults, enums and length limits, but the Amazon Search page marks no argument required and omits the `keyword` its own examples pass, and many limits sit in prose (8 of 15). Every API has a request sample, a response fixture and cURL, JavaScript and Python clients, though most fixtures are labelled historical. Errors are an HTTP table, two named codes (11209, 12001) and a semantic error response whose schema wasn't read. MCP errors aren't documented (10 of 15). Path versioning under /v1, MCP v2 beside a legacy v1, and a dated OpenAPI version label, but no public changelog. SandBase earned 7 on the same pattern (7 of 15). 19+10+10+8+10+7 = 64.\n- Olostep (88): OpenAPI 3.0.3 published per endpoint under docs.olostep.com/openapi/ for scrapes, batches, crawls, maps, answers, search and more (25). llms.txt with 148 links and Markdown pages (10). MCP descriptions give usage rules, for example not to ask for json output without a parser or llm_extract schema, and create_crawl says to pair it with get_crawl_results (15 of 20). Enums for formats, transformer and screen type, `url_to_scrape` the only required field (13 of 15). Error body with type, code and message in the spec, and examples per endpoint (13 of 15). Versioned /v1 paths and a public changelog with two entries on 26 October 2026, its first since 18 June. The MCP repository's CHANGELOG still stops at 1.0.13 while the registry is at 1.0.19 (12 of 15, was 8 while the changelog had stood since June). 25 + 10 + 15 + 13 + 13 + 12 = 88.\n\n### Reliability: Olostep +21\n\n- Nexscope (39): Hosted lines, graded on the remote MCP server and the REST API at api.nexscope.ai. No status page is linked from the home page, llms.txt, the API quickstart or the MCP map, and none was found (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). The pricing page publishes requests a second and concurrency per plan, the same for API and MCP, with 1 and 1 on the trial, 3 and 2 on Starter, 5 and 4 on Growth, 10 and 8 on Pro (15). The quickstart calls 429 an 'execution admission rate limit' and says to honour `Retry-After` on 429 and 503 when present. No idempotency key exists. The repository says 'Do not blindly retry POST requests' and to check whether a task was created before resubmitting, and the MCP tool pages say a reconnecting client should query existing async work rather than resubmit. SoldFetch earned 15 with idempotency keys and SandBase 11 with keys on some writes, so guidance without keys earns 9 (9 of 15). No SLA, and the terms say 'We cannot guarantee the Service will be available at all times' (0). No beta or preview label on the API or the MCP server (10). 0+5+15+9+0+10 = 39.\n- Olostep (60): Better Stack status page at status.olostep.com monitoring /scrapes, /batches, /crawls and /answers (20). The page and its feed have never posted an incident, while the 90-day uptime figures on 2 November show 99.935 to 99.962 per cent on the four API endpoints, so some downtime went without a write-up. A page that has never posted an incident scores 20 in this run (20 of 30). Concurrency published per plan, 20 on Starter, 200 on Standard and 500 on Scale, but the free plan says only 'low rate limits' and we found no per-minute limits (10 of 15). The scrapes OpenAPI documents 400, 402, 404, 500, 502 and 504 but no 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance (0). No SLA found (0). GA (10). 20 + 20 + 10 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Olostep +19\n\n- Nexscope (41): The editorial half. The service is closed. The terms (8 October 2026) name ECOCREATE TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. under Singapore law with no registration number or address. The repository's MIT licence covers client code only, and the documentation and definitions stay copyright Nexscope. Scrapewise earned 15 for closed terms with MIT side code (15 of 30). The privacy policy (8 October 2026) says uploads are not used to train AI models and that connected selling-partner data is deleted or de-identified when no longer needed, but 'this policy does not specify a single deletion deadline for all data', and no DPA was found. SandBase took 12 with no retention periods (10 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices. The terms promise notice of material changes before they take effect where practicable, and the MCP map keeps a legacy v1 beside v2 (3 of 20). Analytics and advertising vendors are named (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Ahrefs, Google Ads, X, FirstPromoter), but hosting, AI processing and payment providers only by type, with no data locations. The repository's source notes say supplier references 'are presented as Nexscope', so the data suppliers go unnamed except LinkFox Agent for 1688 authorisation (5 of 20). 15+10+3+5 = 33. The provenance half is computed from the provenance block.\n- Olostep (60): The API is closed with clear terms under Delaware law, and the MCP server and Python SDK are MIT (20 of 30). Results kept about 7 days by default with a storage parameter for 10 to 365 days or never, and a DPA is linked, but the privacy policy dates from 15 July 2025 and gives no retention periods (15 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices found (0 of 20). No subprocessor list or data locations, only a Standard Contractual Clauses statement (3 of 20).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Olostep +18\n\n- Nexscope (65): Read as a closed service with a public documentation repository. The repository synced the released 1688 procurement contracts on 9 November 2026 and committed again on 10 November (30). No releases or changelog. The dated record is the registry's four versions on 14 and 16 October, repository commits on 8, 9, 20 and 29 October and 2, 9 and 10 November, and source notes dating WooCommerce (29 October) and design search (2 November) additions. SoldFetch earned 10 for dated commits without releases (10 of 20). No public changelog. Support is service@nexscope.ai, WhatsApp and a booked call, untested. The repository's one merged pull request came from the organisation itself, and GitHub's API refused us, so issues weren't read (5 of 15). The official MCP registry lists `io.github.nexscope/ecommerce`, active, latest 1.0.3 of 16 October 2026, read first-hand (15). A CI workflow runs offline catalogue validation and unit tests on standard-library clients with no dependencies. The run results weren't read (5 of 10). 30+10+5+15+5 = 65.\n- Olostep (83): MCP server 1.0.19 published to the official registry on 28 October 2026, after 1.0.18 on 25 October, which added the hosted OAuth endpoint (30). Four dated releases or changelog entries since 4 August, the two changelog entries of 26 October (POST /v1/feedbacks and singular path aliases) and the two MCP releases (20). The Node SDK's 2026-07-15 release and Python SDK 1.2.2 (22 June) are unchanged. MCP repository issue replies not read (8 of 25). Official Python and Node SDKs and a CLI (15). MCP pull requests run contract and golden-description checks (10). 30 + 20 + 8 + 15 + 10 = 83.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Nexscope | Olostep | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 39 | 60 | Olostep +21 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 64 | 88 | Olostep +24 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 44 | 87 | Olostep +43 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 41 | 33 | Nexscope +8 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 65 | Olostep +30 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 83 | Olostep +18 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 41 | 60 | Olostep +19 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **46.2 · D** | **66.9 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Nexscope | Olostep |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Platform | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | ECOCREATE TECHNOLOGY PTE.

The connection loads 382 tools at once, and there is no status page, changelog or idempotency key.\n\n**Olostep.** OpenAPI 3.0.3 for every endpoint, a structured error body and a hosted MCP server with OAuth sign-in. The x402 challenge still came back with no payment requirements in our probe on 2 November, and there is no prompt-injection guidance or 429 documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Nexscope\n\n1. Check the outer `code` is 0 before reading `data`, or send `X-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic` to get HTTP error statuses.\n2. Call an image or video tool once, keep the `taskId`, and poll `nexscope_media_task_result`. A second call bills a second job.\n3. Read the tool's credit cost before a call. Each tool costs at least 10 credits and some cost over 300.\n4. Before you set a 1688 confirmation field to `true`, show the user the preview and get approval.\n5. If the server returns 429 or 503, wait for `Retry-After` when present and back off.\n\n### Olostep\n\n1. For more than a handful of URLs use /v1/batches, then page results with the cursor\n2. Pass `storage.expires_in` if you need results after about 7 days\n3. Don't ask for json output without a `parser` or an `llm_extract` schema\n4. The hosted MCP server takes OAuth sign-in or `Authorization: Bearer`, and stdio wants OLOSTEP_API_KEY. Mixing them up shows 0 tools\n5. Check the 402 body before paying over x402. Our probes on 30 September and 2 November got an empty one\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Nexscope or Olostep?\n\nOlostep scores 66.9 (B) on agent readiness against Nexscope's 46.2 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Nexscope leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Can an agent call Nexscope and Olostep without installing anything?\n\nYes. Nexscope has a hosted endpoint at https://api.nexscope.ai/mcp and Olostep at https://api.olostep.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nexscope-vs-olostep.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nexscope-vs-olostep.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nexscope\", \"b\": \"olostep\"}`.
