Manus + Wayfern

Manus plans the report. Wayfern fetches the sources.

Add MCP by URL
A token in the Bearer field
Custom API as a second route

Manus takes a big job and works on it for hours: a market map, a supplier list, a trip plan. Some of the sources it needs turn automated visitors away.

Give Manus the Wayfern tools, and it reads those pages in an anti-detect browser, extracts tables and searches three engines. Each tool call reports its credits.

Note:Manus does not say if custom MCP servers sign in with OAuth. This page uses the Bearer token field that older Manus docs show.

Setup

Add Wayfern as a connector.

Create a token with the mcp scope on the Tokens page first. Wayfern shows it one time.

1
Open Connectors

In Manus, open Connectors, Create, Add MCP by URL.
2
Enter the server

Name it Wayfern and paste the URL.
URL

https://api.wayfern.com/mcp
3
Add the token

Older Manus docs show a field for a Bearer token. Paste the wf_ token there. If your form offers OAuth, choose it and sign in on wayfern.com instead.

Name it in a task

prompt

Use the Wayfern connector to read the pricing pages of the 15 main tools in our category. Make a table of plans, prices and limits, with links.

Other ways to connect

The REST API as a custom connector

Connectors, Create, Custom API. Save the token as WAYFERN_API_TOKEN. The REST calls need a token with the web and search scopes.

prompt

POST https://api.wayfern.com/api/v1/scrape   Authorization: Bearer $WAYFERN_API_TOKEN
POST https://api.wayfern.com/api/search/v1    Authorization: Bearer $WAYFERN_API_TOKEN

Route

A connector by URL, with a token.

Manus documents Add MCP by URL for HTTPS servers. It does not confirm OAuth for custom servers, so a wf_ token in the Bearer field is the safe choice.

Remote MCP OAuth sign-in: Not tested; Manus does not confirm OAuth for custom MCP servers.
MCP + token Authorization header: Best fit; Add MCP by URL with a wf_ token that has the mcp scope.
Agent skill SKILL.md: Not tested; My Computer runs commands on your computer. The skill's curl calls there are not tested.
REST API api.wayfern.com/api/v1: Works; A Custom API connector with WAYFERN_API_TOKEN.

Tools

What Manus can call

The same tools on every route, at the REST API rates. Every result reports credits_charged.

All tool inputs

scrape_page Fetch one page through an anti-detect browser and return clean markdown, HTML, links and metadata. The screenshot, pdf and json formats add +4 credits (once); summary adds +2. 1 credit / page
extract_data Extract structured data from one or more pages with a prompt and an optional JSON Schema. Re-running over pages already fetched is free. 1 credit / uncached source page
map_site List a site's URLs from its sitemaps and page links. 2 credits / 10 URLs
capture_screenshot Capture a clean image of a page: cookie banners and ads removed, lazy images loaded, tall pages captured end to end. Returns a short-lived download URL and an artifact key, not image bytes. Slices of a full page cost nothing extra; a fail_if_contains match is not charged. 5 credits / capture
brand_profile Identity, colours, logos, social links and company metadata for a domain. 10 credits / profile
site_styleguide Colours, typography, spacing, radii, shadows and the design tokens a site declares. 10 credits / site

crawl_site Start a bounded multi-page crawl. Returns a job id immediately and charges nothing up front; pages are billed as the crawl runs. 1 credit / successful page
crawl_status Poll a crawl started with crawl_site and read a page of its results. The pages were billed as they were crawled. Free
search_web Search Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. Returns ranked results, ads, provider failures, pagination, and related queries. 2 credits / provider page
list_search_engines List live provider ids and labels. Free

Good to know

Credits: Manus credits pay for Manus's own work. Each Wayfern tool call spends credits from your Wayfern balance.
Token: Revoke the token on the Tokens page when you remove the connector.
