Apify MCP Server

What it does

The Apify MCP Server bridges AI agents to the Apify Store, allowing them to use thousands of ready-made scrapers and crawlers to extract data from social media, maps, e-commerce, and any website.

Key features

• Dynamic Actor Discovery: Find and add new scraping tools on the fly using search-actors.
• Structured Data: Automatically handles input/output schemas for complex web extraction tasks.
• Agentic Payments: Integration with Skyfire allows AI agents to pay for Actor runs autonomously.
• Broad Compatibility: Works across major MCP clients including Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.
