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/sse endpoint has been removed in favor of Streamable HTTP. Migrate your client to https://mcp.apify.com — drop the /sse suffix 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. Check out the MCP clients section for more details or visit the MCP configuration page.
