poll for result

get_task → status: "running", step 2 of 5

get result

get_task → status: "completed", screenshots, extracted data

MCP vs REST

	MCP	REST API
Best for	AI agents with MCP support	Any HTTP client
Setup	One JSON config line	API key + HTTP calls
Discovery	Agent sees tools automatically	Developer reads docs
Use case	Claude, OpenClaw, MCP-enabled agents	SDKs, scripts, CI, custom apps

Both are first-class citizens. The MCP server doesn't have features the REST API lacks, and vice versa.
