Configure MCP server with Cainiao Tracking Actor

You have a few options for interacting with the MCP server:

Use mcp.apify.com via mcp-remote from your local machine to connect and authenticate using OAuth or an API token (as shown in the JSON configuration above).
Set up the connection directly in your MCP client UI by providing the URL https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=nguyennk/cainiao-tracking-actor along with an API token (or use OAuth).
Connect to mcp.apify.com via Server-Sent Events (SSE), as shown below:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "sse",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/sse?actors=nguyennk/cainiao-tracking-actor",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
            }
        }
    }
}

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other MCP client of your choice.
