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.

🚀 Quickstart
You can use the Apify MCP Server in two ways:
HTTPS Endpoint (mcp.apify.com): Connect from your MCP client via OAuth or by including the Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header in your requests. This is the recommended method for most use cases. Because it supports OAuth, you can connect from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the URL: https://mcp.apify.com.
https://mcp.apify.com streamable transport
Standard Input/Output (stdio): Ideal for local integrations and command-line tools like the Claude for Desktop client.
Set the MCP client server command to npx @apify/actors-mcp-server and the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable to your Apify API token.
See npx @apify/actors-mcp-server --help for more options.
You can find detailed instructions for setting up the MCP server in the Apify documentation.
🤖 MCP clients
Apify MCP Server is compatible with any MCP client that adheres to the Model Context Protocol, but the level of support for dynamic tool discovery and other features may vary between clients.
This interactive, chat-like interface provides an easy way to explore the capabilities of Apify MCP without any local setup.
Sign in with your Apify account and start experimenting with web scraping, data extraction, and automation tools!

💰 Agentic payments
You can pay for Actor runs without an Apify API token using AGI, direct x402, or Skyfire.
AGI (agi.apify.com) mints a prepaid Apify API token in exchange for an x402 or MPP payment. Use the token like a normal API token against mcp.apify.com and api.apify.com — works for any Actor, not just Pay Per Event ones. Recommended for new integrations; see AGI (recommended) below.
Direct x402 pays with USDC on Base per request and does not require a separate platform account. It is fully supported by mcpc (brew install apify/tap/mcpc or npm install -g @apify/mcpc). We use mcpc because it is one of the few MCP clients that supports the latest features and the x402 protocol natively.
Skyfire pays with PAY tokens and requires a Skyfire account with a funded wallet. It does not require a special MCP client; the entire payment flow is handled directly through the MCP tool call parameters.
ℹ️ Scope: Both direct x402 and Skyfire are limited to Pay Per Event Actors, don't support Standby Actors, and settle per run instead of minting a token.
How agentic payments work
Actor run costs vary, so both payment methods use a prepaid balance model. The payment flow happens in four steps:
