## What's an Apify Actor?

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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

# README

## Zepto MCP Server

Give your AI assistant live access to **Zepto** — India's quick-commerce grocery
platform. This actor runs as a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** so agents
like **Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and n8n** can search products, pull prices and
stock, and resolve delivery stores on demand. It also works as a **classic
scraper** when run normally.

Built on Zepto's mobile API (header-only, no login, no unblocking subscription),
so keyword search returns the full priced product grid — reliably.

### MCP tools

| Tool                    | What it does                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `search_zepto_products` | Search a keyword and return priced product rows for a location (name, brand, MRP, price, discount, stock, image). |
| `get_zepto_product`     | Full detail for a product-variant id at a delivery location.                                                      |
| `zepto_autocomplete`    | Search-box autocomplete suggestions for a partial query.                                                          |
| `resolve_zepto_store`   | Resolve the serving store (and serviceability) for a lat/lng or city.                                             |

Every tool is **location-scoped** — pass an Indian city name (e.g. `Mumbai`) or
explicit `latitude`/`longitude`, since Zepto prices and stock vary by store.

### Connect an AI assistant

The actor runs in **Standby mode** and speaks MCP over **Streamable HTTP** at:

````

https://<your-actor-standby-url>/mcp

````

Add it to an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) as a Streamable
HTTP server, using your Apify API token as a bearer token. Then ask naturally:

> "What's the cheapest milk on Zepto in Mumbai right now?"
> "Compare Amul butter prices between Delhi and Bengaluru."

### Use cases

- **Shopping & price assistants** — let an agent answer live grocery price/stock questions.
- **Research & monitoring agents** — automate assortment and discount checks across cities.
- **Workflow automation (n8n, Make)** — wire Zepto lookups into agentic pipelines.

### Also runs as a scraper

Run the actor normally (not standby) with `searchQueries` + a `location` to push
normalized product rows to a dataset — handy for scheduled jobs and quick tests.

#### Example (normal run) input

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["milk", "amul butter"],
    "location": "Mumbai",
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
    "maxItems": 100
}
````

### Output fields

Product rows include `name`, `brand`, `pack_size`, `mrp`, `selling_price`,
`super_saver_price`, `discount_percent`, `in_stock`, `category`, `subcategory`,
`image`, `store_id`, `location_label`, and `scraped_at`. See the dataset schema
for the full list.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key?** You connect with your Apify token as the bearer token
for the MCP endpoint. No Zepto login is required.

**Which locations work?** Any serviceable point in India — a city name or exact
coordinates.

**How fresh is the data?** Every tool call fetches live prices and stock.

**Is this legal?** You are responsible for your use of the data. Query publicly
available information and comply with Zepto's terms and applicable law.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search on Zepto (normal run mode only).
