Apify MCP Server

Apify MCP Server connects your AI agent to the Apify platform, giving it access to thousands of ready-made web scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools called "Actors." Instead of writing scraping code from scratch, your agent can pick an Actor from Apify's marketplace — say, a LinkedIn scraper, a Google Maps extractor, or a price monitor — and run it on demand through MCP tool calls. The real value is the breadth of the Actor ecosystem. Apify hosts over 2,000 pre-built Actors covering e-commerce data extraction, social media scraping, search engine results, real estate listings, and much more. Through this MCP server, your agent can start Actor runs, check their status, and retrieve results — all conversationally. It can also manage datasets and key-value stores where Apify persists scraped data. The server supports both a hosted remote endpoint (mcp.apify.com) and local execution. The remote option means zero infrastructure setup — your agent connects directly to Apify's cloud. The trade-off is that Apify is a paid platform beyond the free tier, so heavy scraping jobs will incur costs. But for the convenience of having thousands of maintained scrapers available to your AI agent, the pricing is reasonable.
