# MCP Config Generator (Apify Actor → Claude / Cursor) (`gochujang/mcp-config-generator`) Actor

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.

## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

# README

## 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)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is the open standard for letting LLM clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) call external tools. Apify has [@apify/actors-mcp-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@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.

---

### What you get

```json
{
  "actor_id": "gochujang~smart-money-tracker",
  "title": "Smart Money Wallet Tracker (Free Nansen Alt, Multi-Chain)",
  "name": "smart-money-tracker",
  "username": "gochujang",
  "is_public": true,
  "claude_desktop_config": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "apify-smart-money-tracker": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--actors", "gochujang~smart-money-tracker"],
        "env": {"APIFY_TOKEN": "APIFY_TOKEN_HERE"}
      }
    }
  },
  "claude_code_config": { ... },
  "cursor_config": { ... },
  "tool_card": {
    "tool_name": "apify_smart_money_tracker",
    "title": "...",
    "description": "...",
    "handle": "gochujang~smart-money-tracker",
    "store_url": "https://apify.com/gochujang/smart-money-tracker"
  },
  "install_instructions": [
    "1. Get an Apify token at https://console.apify.com/account/integrations",
    "2. Replace APIFY_TOKEN_HERE with your token in the config below",
    "3. Paste into your MCP client config file",
    "4. Restart your client",
    "5. Claude will now be able to call this actor as a tool"
  ]
}
````

The full Claude Desktop config is also saved as `claude_desktop_config.json` in the run's key-value store.

***

### Quick start

#### By handle (recommended)

```json
{
  "actorId": "gochujang~smart-money-tracker"
}
```

#### By internal ID

```json
{
  "actorId": "UOl6ZDRUqwzUJ7uSB"
}
```

#### Username + name parts

```json
{
  "username": "gochujang",
  "name": "smart-money-tracker"
}
```

#### Resolve a private actor (requires your token)

```json
{
  "actorId": "your-username~your-actor",
  "apifyToken": "apify_api_..."
}
```

***

### Use cases

1. **Wrap any Apify actor as a Claude tool** — Hook the entire Apify Store into Claude
2. **Onboarding** — Give clients a one-paste config to start using your actors
3. **Cursor integration** — Let Cursor IDE call data-gathering actors during code generation
4. **MCP marketplace pre-baked configs** — Ship ready-to-install MCP packages

***

### Pricing

**Pay-Per-Event**: `$0.005 per config generated.`

***

### 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](https://console.apify.com/account/integrations))
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:

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