The Apify MCP Server exposes thousands of Apify Store scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol, available hosted at mcp.apify.com or self-hosted via stdio/Streamable HTTP. It supports OAuth, structured output schema inference, and agentic payments for running Actors.
Use cases
- let my AI agent scrape data from websites
- extract social media data with Claude
- connect Apify actors to Cursor or VS Code
- give an LLM web crawling tools via MCP
- scrape search engines and e-commerce sites for AI agents
- run Apify actors from an MCP client
When to choose
- you want AI agents to fetch live web data using ready-made Apify Actors
- you use MCP-compatible clients like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code
- you want a hosted MCP endpoint with OAuth instead of managing your own server
When to avoid
- you need scraping without an Apify account or paid Actor usage
- you want a general-purpose scraping library to embed in your own code
- you rely on the removed legacy SSE transport endpoint
