About Apify MCP Server
Description · AI-summarised from the apify README
The Apify MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Apify's ecosystem of 8,000+ Actors (web scraping, data extraction, and automation tools) as tools for AI agents. It supports OAuth authentication, dynamic tool discovery, and can be deployed either via a hosted endpoint (mcp.apify.com) or as a CLI tool. The server includes helper tools for discovering Actors, searching Apify documentation, managing Actor runs, and accessing storage (datasets, key-value stores). It also supports agentic payments via x402 (USDC on Base) and Skyfire (PAY tokens), allowing agents to execute paid Actors without API tokens.
