Configure MCP server with Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob

You have a few options for interacting with the MCP server:

  • Use mcp.apify.com via mcp-remote from your local machine to connect and authenticate using OAuth or an API token (as shown in the JSON configuration above).

  • Set up the connection directly in your MCP client UI by providing the URL https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=chris_gentleman/simple-url-loader along with an API token (or use OAuth).

  • Connect to mcp.apify.com via Server-Sent Events (SSE), as shown below:

{
"mcpServers": {
"apify": {
"type": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=chris_gentleman/simple-url-loader",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other MCP client of your choice.
