A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents browser-automation tools — navigate, click, fill forms, run JavaScript, extract content, PDF and screenshot — as callable tools. For scraping, testing and web-automation agents.

🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run ESi74e7rLJIIokrcB (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "_tool_call_billed_at": "2026-09-22T06:44:23.560102+00:00"
}

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
tool call (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.05	Charged per successful MCP tool call (navigate, click, screenshot, extract, etc.).

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

FAQ

Q: How do I get started? Sign up at apify.com, grab your API token from Settings then Integrations, and connect this MCP server from your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).

Q: Which MCP clients work? Any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, custom agents — over the streamable HTTP transport.

Q: How much does it cost? $0.05 per tool call that does real work (navigate, click, type, screenshot, extract and so on), plus an Actor start fee of $0.005 per run (per GB of memory). So 100 successful tool calls cost about $5.00 plus the start fee. Live prices are always in the Pricing tab.

Q: What if a tool fails or finds nothing? Errors are free. A content tool (get_text, get_html, get_links, extract_table, get_cookies) that reaches the page but finds nothing returns a note saying "nothing was charged".

Q: How do I connect? Use the Standby URL https://nexgendata--playwright-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp and send your Apify API token as an Authorization: Bearer <token> header.
