MCP Server Ignoring Custom Actors Configuration
Closed
When creating a task with custom actors, the MCP server ignores the input and always loads the default actors instead. This issue can be observed in the run logs, which consistently show that only the default actors are being loaded regardless of the custom configuration provided.
Hi, thank you for trying the MCP server.
Unfortunately, running it with a different set of Actors isn’t very straightforward at the moment.
What you need to do is create a new task, go to the Standby settings, and specify the Actors there.
Then, you can start the server using the following URL:
https://USERNAME--actors-mcp-server-task.apify.actor?token=<APIFY_TOKEN>
I’m sorry—there’s no simpler way to do this for now. It’s briefly described here:

I hope it works for you! If not, please let me know. Jiri

With the recent launch of 0.1.24 this method is broken. How we should input a subset of actors to the MCP server?
I´ve tried these both:
"url": f"https://{user_id}--{mcp_id}.apify.actor/sse?token={apify_token}", -> Returns the default actors instead of my tasked ones "url": f"https://{user_id}--{mcp_id}.apify.actor?token={apify_token}", -> Fails initializing
Hi,
I'm sorry. This was a bug, and this functionality should not have changed.
When you create a task, the specified Actors should be loaded.
I've fixed it in version 0.1.25.
Please check this run.
In this example, I requested:

Thanks a lot for reporting the issue! I really appreciate it.
I’ll go ahead and close this issue for now, but feel free to ask any questions or create a new one if needed.
Best, Jiri
