How It Works

This is a real MCP server using:

• Apify Standby mode (always-on, no cold start)
• Streamable HTTP transport (/mcp endpoint)
• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk for protocol compliance

Unlike regular Apify actors that require API calls, this server speaks native MCP protocol — Claude Desktop connects directly.
