Apify MCP Server
Apify's own MCP server, which lets an agent use Actors, the ready-made scraping and automation programs in Apify Store, without a separate server per site.
What it does
Apify's own MCP server, which lets an agent use Actors, the ready-made scraping and automation programs in Apify Store, without a separate server per site. The agent searches the Store, reads an Actor's input schema and pricing, starts a run and then reads results from the run's dataset; any Actor can also be loaded as its own tool. Optional tool groups manage runs, storage, saved tasks, schedules, Actor builds and versions, and call the Apify API directly. Apify hosts it at mcp.apify.com with OAuth or a bearer token, and it can run locally over stdio from npm. Discovery and docs tools work without an account.
Capabilities

- Run an Actor and read its dataset results
- Search and fetch Apify and Crawlee documentation
