## What it is
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
