Apify MCP Server
The Apify Actors MCP server lets AI agents run any of thousands of Actors in the Apify Store to scrape and extract data from websites, e-commerce, social media, search engines, and maps. Agents can search and call Actors, monitor runs, and read datasets, key-value stores, and Apify documentation.
