## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

**Ultra-fast (<3s) Zero-Proxy MCP Tool for AI Agents (Claude, Cursor, LangChain).**\
Extracts nearest expiration options chains, calculates Put/Call Ratio (PCR for Open Interest and Volume), computes institutional Max Pain strike price, and evaluates pinning gravitational pull in compact JSON and a 1-line Markdown summary.

***

### ⚡ Why AI Agents Need This MCP

1. **Uncovers Institutional Gamma Pinning**: On Friday options expiration dates, market makers and institutional option writers naturally exert magnetic pressure pulling stock prices toward the **Max Pain strike**.
2. **Options Sentiment Barometer**: Put/Call Open Interest Ratio (PCR) directly quantifies smart money hedging vs retail call speculation.
3. **95% LLM Context Token Saving**: Raw option chains contain thousands of rows of strike Greeks and bids/asks. This tool aggregates everything serverless into a concise <250-token payload.
4. **Pay-Per-Event Micro-Pricing**: Only $0.008 per stock/index analyzed ($8.00 / 1,000 queries).

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "tickers": [
        "SPY",
        "QQQ",
        "NVDA",
        "AAPL",
        "TSLA"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mcp_collector/options-market-sentiment-maxpain-mcp").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

        "QQQ",
        "NVDA",
        "AAPL",
        "TSLA",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mcp_collector/options-market-sentiment-maxpain-mcp").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mcp_collector/options-market-sentiment-maxpain-mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
