Why this exists

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard for letting LLM clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) call external tools. Apify has @apify/actors-mcp-server — but figuring out the exact config snippet for each client is tedious.

This actor takes an actor ID (or handle) and emits the JSON config block you paste into:

• Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Claude Code: ~/.claude/config.json
• Cursor: Settings > MCP

Now any of those clients can directly call the actor — Claude will pick it up as a tool, formulate the input, and surface the result.
