No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
The Apify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at mcp.apify.com enables your AI agents to extract data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites, and any other website using thousands of ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools from Apify Store. It supports OAuth, allowing you to connect from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the URL.
🚀 Use the hosted Apify MCP Server!
For the best experience, connect your AI assistant to our hosted server at
https://mcp.apify.com. The hosted server supports the latest features - including output schema inference for structured Actor results - that are not available when running locally via stdio.
⚠️ Legacy SSE transport removed. The
https://mcp.apify.com/sseendpoint has been removed in favor of Streamable HTTP. Migrate your client tohttps://mcp.apify.com— drop the/ssesuffix from your configuration.
💰 The server also supports agentic payments: buy a token from AGI to run any Actor, or pay per-request via direct x402 (Pay Per Event Actors only) or Skyfire.
Apify MCP Server is compatible with Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code and any client that adheres to the Model Context Protocol.

🌐 Introducing Apify MCP Server
The Apify MCP Server allows an AI assistant to use any Apify Actor as a tool to perform a specific task. For example, it can:
- Use Facebook Posts Scraper to extract data from Facebook posts from multiple pages/profiles.
- Use Google Maps Email Extractor to extract contact details from Google Maps.
- Use Google Search Results Scraper to scrape Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
- Use Instagram Scraper to scrape Instagram posts, profiles, places, photos, and comments.
- Use RAG Web Browser to search the web, scrape the top N URLs, and return their content.
- Use Web Fetch to fetch any URL and return its content as Markdown, plain text, HTML, or links — with JavaScript rendering and anti-bot protection.
