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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Collection Vault MCP Full CRUD collectible collection management with persistent SQLite storage, sub-collections, value history, web search valuations, insurance export, and deal alerts. **Supported types:** Coins, Trading Cards, Bullion, Stamps, Comics, and any collectible. **Monetization:** Subscription on MCPize. PPE fallback on Apify. **Requires:** `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (for `lookup_value` web search tool only) --- ### Tools | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `add_item` | Add any collectible to the vault | | `get_item` | Retrieve item by ID with value history | | `update_item` | Update any item fields | | `remove_item` | Permanently delete an item | | `list_collection` | List/search/filter with pagination | | `create_sub_collection` | Create named group (e.g. "Morgan Dollars") | | `assign_to_sub_collection` | Add item to a group | | `get_collection_stats` | Summary stats, totals, most valuable | | `lookup_value` | Web search market value → updates item | | `mark_sold` | Record sale with realized gain calc | | `export_insurance` | Insurance-ready inventory export | | `get_deal_alerts` | Price drop alerts (last 7 days) | --- ### Setup ```bash cd collection-vault python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." python run_server.py ```` Server starts on `http://localhost:4321/mcp` #### Optional: Custom DB path ```bash export VAULT_DB_PATH="/path/to/vault.db" ``` *** ### Testing ```python from server import add_item, list_collection, get_collection_stats, lookup_value ## Add a coin result = add_item( user_id="brian", name="1921 Morgan Dollar", collection_type="coin", year=1921, denomination="Dollar", mint_mark="D", composition="90% silver", condition_raw="VF-30", purchase_price=45.00, purchase_source="LCS", notes="Nice luster, minor bag marks", ) item_id = result["item_id"] ## Add a Pokémon card result = add_item( user_id="gavin", name="Charizard", collection_type="card", card_set="Base Set", card_number="4/102", card_rarity="Holo Rare", card_variant="Shadowless", condition_raw="Near Mint", purchase_price=350.00, ) ## List all of brian's coins coins = list_collection(user_id="brian", collection_type="coin") print(f"Total coins: {coins['total_count']}") ## Look up market value value = lookup_value(user_id="brian", item_id=item_id) print(f"Estimated value: ${value['estimated_value']}") ## Get stats stats = get_collection_stats(user_id="brian") print(f"Total collection value: ${stats['totals']['total_value_usd']}") ## Export insurance doc report = export_insurance(user_id="brian", min_value=50) print(f"Insurance items: {report['report']['total_items']}") print(f"Total declared value: ${report['report']['total_declared_value_usd']}") ## Create sub-collection sub = create_sub_collection( user_id="brian", name="Morgan Dollars", collection_type="coin", description="Complete Morgan Dollar type set" ) assign_to_sub_collection(user_id="brian", item_id=item_id, sub_collection_id=sub["sub_collection_id"]) ``` *** ### Deploy to Apify ```bash rm -rf venv apify push ``` Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in Apify Console → Source → Environment Variables (mark as secret). Re-enable Actor Standby after push. Enable MCP Server in Publication settings. #### Claude Desktop config ```json { "mcpServers": { "collection-vault": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mowell-labs--collection-vault.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"] } } } ``` *** ### Data Persistence Note SQLite is stored at `/tmp/collection_vault.db` by default. On Apify Standby, data persists as long as the container stays warm. For guaranteed persistence, set `VAULT_DB_PATH` to a mounted volume or use Apify's key-value store (requires code modification). For production MCPize deployment, run on your own infrastructure with a persistent volume. *** ### PPE Events (Apify fallback) | Event | Price | |-------|-------| | item-write | $0.005 | | item-read | $0.002 | | value-lookup | $0.03 | | insurance-export | $0.01 | *** ### License MIT — Mowell Labs 2025 ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
