Apify Public Data MCP: 40 Production Data Tools & Public Records

One MCP server gives an AI agent 40 production data extractors - Google Maps business leads, Google News, Google Autocomplete, LinkedIn and Glassdoor jobs, SEC EDGAR, USAspending, Grants.gov, TED tenders, NHTSA recalls, FEC, EPA, ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA, Europe PMC, GLEIF, CMS providers, Census geocoding, state business registries, contractor licences, Airbnb, YouTube, Twitch and Google Play - each running as an Actor on your own Apify account. Install with uvx apify-data-scrapers (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client), or call the same Actors directly from Python, Node.js or no-code tools.

Each actor is built with strict schema validation, deterministic field mapping, self-healing DOM selectors, and pay-per-event pricing (per-result rates from $0.00015, Actor-start from $0.0005; the live Apify Store price is authoritative).

Runtime contract and spending control

Since version 1.1.0, calls return {results, status, run?} in both MCP structured content and text. Status is success, partial, empty_unverified, or error; errors include a stable code and retry guidance. Zero rows are not proof that no matching records exist. Existing integrations that parsed a bare result array must now read results. Native dataset field names are preserved.

Each call requests a 120-second Actor timeout and a pay-per-event charge cap of $1 by default. Set APIFY_MAX_CHARGE_USD to adjust the cap. This is per run, not a total account spending limit; platform fees outside Actor event charges may still apply. Up to four calls may run concurrently. Cancelling a request attempts to abort its cloud run; check the returned run ID if confirmation fails. An ambiguous start is never retried automatically.

The MCP executable is Python; Node.js files are direct Actor API examples, not a second MCP server. Private queued Actors are omitted from this public catalog.

Choose your tools

Choose a focused tool profile and generate your installation configuration.

Version 1.2.0 adds the optional APIFY_TOOL_PROFILE environment variable: all (default), leads, market, government, or research. These correspond to the four catalog categories below. Profiles restrict tool discovery and calls, prompts, and the Actor catalog. Restart the MCP server and refresh/reconnect your client after changing the profile. Keep only the focused server entry if you do not also want the full catalog loaded. Direct Actor API examples are unchanged; this setting is not an Apify account permission boundary.

Choose your first workflow

No separate subscription to this MCP package is required. Actor runs are billed through your Apify account at the displayed Store price. Start with a small run and inspect its output before scheduling recurring work; public-source data can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable.

Privacy Policy

The MCP server collects nothing. It runs on your machine, reads APIFY_TOKEN from your environment, and its only outbound calls are to the Apify API to run the Actor you asked for — on your own Apify account. No telemetry, no logs, no data sent to us. Full policy: apify.revenuesystemslabs.com/privacy.

Make.com templates

Eight published Make scenarios, one click to copy into your own Make account. Each asks for your Apify token and your destination (Google Sheets or Slack) in the setup wizard.

Use-case guides

One page per question an agent gets asked, each listing the tools, arguments, returned fields and prices for that job:

• MCP server for SEC EDGAR filings
• MCP server for Google Maps data and business leads
• MCP server for public records: business registries, licences and providers
• MCP server for job search: LinkedIn and Glassdoor listings
• MCP server for US government data

Focused, end-to-end tutorials:

• Use public-data Actors directly in ChatGPT with Apify MCP
• Monitor SEC EDGAR filings automatically
• Build a contractor lead list from Google Maps
• Monitor CMS healthcare-provider changes

Available Extractors & Store Listings

Every extractor below is both an Apify Store listing and an MCP tool of the same server; the sections are the questions buyers arrive with.
