## 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.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.

## BODACC MCP Server — 4.5M French Court Announcements for AI Agents (M&A, Distress, New Businesses)

> Apify-hosted **BODACC MCP server** giving AI agents access to 4.5 million French commercial court announcements — new business creations, M&A, executive changes, insolvency procedures, liquidations. Backed by the free official `bodacc-datadila.opendatasoft.com` open data. No API key, no proxy. **$0.01 per tool call**.

⭐ **Bookmark this BODACC MCP Server** — Apify ranks actors by bookmarks, so it directly helps the visibility of this server on the Apify Store.

### What is the BODACC MCP Server?

The **BODACC MCP Server** is an Apify actor implementing the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) for the [BODACC — Bulletin Officiel des Annonces Civiles et Commerciales](https://www.bodacc.fr/). BODACC is the official French commercial court bulletin, where every business creation, sale, M&A, executive change, or insolvency procedure is published by law. This MCP server exposes 6 tools to query 4.5M+ announcements via natural-language commands from your AI agent.

Wire it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Continue.dev to give your agent live signal on the French business landscape — from new SaaS founders to companies in distress.

### Use cases

- **Distress / restructuring agents** — detect "procédure collective" filings the day they're published.
- **Lead-gen for B2B SaaS** — every new company creation is a fresh prospect; filter by city or NAF code.
- **M&A intelligence bots** — track "Ventes et cessions" announcements to monitor French M&A activity.
- **Commercial real-estate agents** — liquidations free up storefronts; this MCP server surfaces them daily.
- **Executive moves tracker** — monitor "Modifications dirigeants" for a target sector.

### Tools available

| Tool | What it returns |
| --- | --- |
| `search_announcements(query, family, days, limit)` | Free-text search with date + family filter |
| `announcements_by_siren(siren, limit)` | All BODACC events for one company |
| `companies_in_distress(days, department, limit)` | "Procédures collectives" — insolvency filings |
| `new_businesses(days, department, limit)` | "Créations" — new business registrations |
| `mergers_acquisitions(days, limit)` | "Ventes et cessions" — M&A and sale announcements |
| `announcements_by_filter(...)` | Generic filter — any field, any combination |
| `list_tools` | Free — schema discovery |

### Input

```json
{
  "mode": "call_tool",
  "tool_name": "companies_in_distress",
  "arguments": { "days": 7, "department": "75", "limit": 25 }
}
````

### Output

```json
{
  "id": "A2026B12345",
  "date": "2026-04-29",
  "type": "Avis initial",
  "family": "Procédures collectives",
  "company_or_person": "EXAMPLE SARL",
  "siren": "123456789",
  "department": "75",
  "department_name": "Paris",
  "details": "Ouverture d'une procédure de redressement judiciaire..."
}
```

### Pricing

**PAY\_PER\_EVENT — $0.01 per tool call** (= $10 per 1,000). The `list_tools` discovery call is free. No charge on errors.

### FAQ

**What's the latency on new BODACC entries?** BODACC is published daily (working days). Announcements typically appear in the open data feed within 24-48h of publication.

**Why MCP for BODACC?** A regular scraper gives you raw rows. An MCP server lets your AI agent ask `companies_in_distress in 75 over the last 7 days, group by NAF code` and chain queries. For one-shot bulk extraction without MCP, build your own with the [Pappers / Sirene Scraper](https://apify.com/dltik/pappers-sirene-scraper) for SIREN-keyed enrichment.

**Can I cross-reference SIREN with company details?** Yes — chain a BODACC `announcements_by_siren` call with the [Pappers MCP Server](https://apify.com/dltik/mcp-server-pappers) `get_company` tool. Two MCP servers, one agent.
