MCP Config Generator

Given any Apify actor ID, generates ready-to-paste Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor. Wraps the actor as a tool Claude can call directly. $0.005 per config.

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.

How to install the generated config

After getting the output:

1. Copy the claude_desktop_config JSON block
2. Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
3. Merge (or replace) the mcpServers section
4. Replace APIFY_TOKEN_HERE with your real token (get one here)
5. Restart Claude Desktop
6. The actor will appear as a tool — try asking Claude to use it

For Claude Code, you can also run:

$claude mcp add apify-smart-money-tracker -e APIFY_TOKEN=your-token -- npx -y @apify/actors-mcp-server --actors gochujang~smart-money-tracker
