Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Mouser Parts MCP Server Give your AI assistant **live access to Mouser Electronics** (mouser.com). This actor runs as a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** so **Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n** and other agents can search parts, check BOM pricing and stock, browse categories, and autocomplete — in real time. It also runs as a **classic scraper** when you just want a dataset. Powered by Mouser's own **Android app API**: no proxies, no CAPTCHA solving — just an automatically-bootstrapped anti-bot cookie. ### Who it's for - **Hardware engineers using Claude/Cursor** — ask "is the NE555P in stock, what's the price at qty 100?" and get a live answer during design. - **AI builders & agents** — add real-time Mouser part lookup to an assistant or procurement workflow with zero scraping code. - **Automation (n8n/Make) builders** — MCP tool nodes for BOM/procurement workflows. - **Developers** — a ready MCP endpoint instead of building and maintaining a scraper. ### MCP tools | Tool | What it does | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `search_mouser_products` | Keyword and/or category search with filters → normalized part rows | | `get_mouser_parts` | Batch BOM lookup by exact manufacturer/distributor part number | | `get_mouser_categories` | Full left-nav category tree, for browsing/filter UIs | | `mouser_autocomplete` | Fuzzy keyword → exact part numbers, categories, manufacturers | ### Output fields (per part) `distributor_part_number`, `manufacturer_part_number`, `manufacturer`, `description`, `available_to_sell`, `factory_stock`, `lifecycle_status`, `rohs_status`, `minimum_order_quantity`, `multiple_order_quantity`, `price_breaks`, `datasheets`, `images`, `category_breadcrumb`, `attributes`, `compliance`, `product_detail_url`. ### Connect it 1. Start the actor in **Standby mode** on Apify. 2. Point your MCP client at `https:///mcp` (Streamable HTTP). 3. The tools above appear automatically in your AI assistant. Example (Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "mouser": { "url": "https:///mcp" } } } ```` ### Classic scraper mode Prefer a plain dataset? Run the actor normally with an input like: ```json { "searchQueries": ["10k resistor"], "partNumbers": ["78-2KDFN39CA-M3/H", "NE555P"], "maxItemsPerQuery": 50 } ``` It pushes normalized part rows to the dataset — identical fields to the tools. ### High-value use cases - **Conversational BOM checks** — "check stock and price for these 12 part numbers" answered live by your assistant. - **Design-time part lookup** — an agent verifies availability and pricing while you're speccing a circuit. - **Procurement automation** — an n8n/Make workflow polls prices/stock for critical parts and alerts on changes. ### FAQ **Do I need proxies or accounts?** No — the actor uses Mouser's own mobile app API and bootstraps the required anti-bot cookie itself. **How fresh is the data?** Live on every tool call. **Can I check a whole BOM at once?** Yes — `get_mouser_parts` accepts a list of part numbers in one call. **Can it return a dataset too?** Yes — run it in normal mode for a classic scrape, using the same fields as the tools. **Is scraping legal?** The actor collects only publicly available product data. You are responsible for complying with Mouser's terms and applicable laws. # Actor input Schema ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Keywords to search (classic run mode only — ignored when connected as an MCP server). ## `categoryPaths` (type: `array`): Mouser category paths to browse (classic run mode only). ## `partNumbers` (type: `array`): Exact manufacturer/distributor part numbers to look up (classic run mode only). ## `maxItemsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Cap per search/category query in classic run mode. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQueries": [ "10k resistor" ], "categoryPaths": [], "partNumbers": [], "maxItemsPerQuery": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("axlymxp/mouser-parts-mcp").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
