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
