## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## Apify MCP Server Tools

Expose Apify actors as MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools. Connect to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants.

### Features

- **MCP-compatible**: Works with any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Cline)
- **Actor integration**: Use any Apify actor as an AI tool
- **Auto-discovery**: Generates MCP server manifest automatically
- **Demo crawl**: Test data extraction on provided URLs
- **Flexible input**: JSON, URL, or plain text query

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| actorIds | Array | Apify actors to expose as MCP tools (username/actor-name or ID) |
| query | String | Input data (JSON string, URL, or search query) |
| outputFormat | String | Output format (default: json) |
| proxyConfiguration | Object | Proxy settings |

### Output

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| version | String | MCP protocol version |
| mcpServers | Object | MCP server config (copy to Claude/Cursor config) |
| mcpTools | Array | Tool definitions with usage prompts |
| demoRunResults | Array | Demo crawl results from provided URLs |
| usage | Object | Alternative ways to call the actors |

### Setup

#### Claude Desktop
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/this-actor/src/main.js"]
    }
  }
}
````

#### VS Code / Cursor

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "apify-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/this-actor/src/main.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Use Cases

- AI-powered web research with Apify actors
- Automated data extraction via chat
- Integration with existing MCP workflows
- Multi-actor pipeline orchestration

# 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 = {
    "actorIds": [
        {
            "actorRef": "apify/web-scraper"
        }
    ],
    "query": "{\"startUrls\": [{\"url\": \"https://example.com\"}], \"maxPages\": 5}",
    "outputFormat": "json",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("oneary/apify-mcp-server-tools").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);
});
