## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Brazil ANVISA Regulated Products & Cosmetics/Supplements Verifier (MCP)

> **Verify whether cosmetics, dietary supplements, foods, medical devices, and sanitizers sold in Brazil are regularized with ANVISA (*Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária*) — in real time via Batch Dataset Runs or as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for AI Agents.**

***

### Why Use This Actor?

Every cosmetic, dietary supplement, food product, medical device, and household/hospital sanitizer marketed in Brazil must hold a valid registration (*Registro*) or notification (*Notificação / Comunicado*) with **ANVISA**, Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency.

Manually checking products on `consultas.anvisa.gov.br` is slow, rate-limited by anti-bot protections, and requires navigating separate portals for each category.

**Brazil ANVISA Regulated Products & Cosmetics/Supplements Verifier (MCP)** streams directly from **ANVISA’s official Open Data (`dados.anvisa.gov.br`)** in constant memory (256 MB RAM) with immediate early-stop once your target count is reached:

- **5 Official ANVISA Registries in One Unified Schema:**
  1. **`cosmetics`** — Cosmetics, Perfumes & Personal Hygiene (*Cosméticos, Perfumes e Produtos de Higiene Pessoal* — `TA_CONSULTA_COSMETICOS.CSV`)
  2. **`supplements`** — Dietary Supplements, Sports Nutrition & Vitamin/Mineral Supplements (*Suplementos Alimentares e Alimentos para Atletas* — filtered from `TA_CONSULTA_ALIMENTOS.CSV`)
  3. **`foods`** — Regulated Foods, Infant Formulas, Enteral Nutrition & Novel Foods (*Alimentos Registrados* — `TA_CONSULTA_ALIMENTOS.CSV`)
  4. **`medical_devices`** — Medical Devices, Implants, Equipment & In-Vitro Diagnostics (*Produtos para a Saúde / Correlatos* — `TA_CONSULTA_PRODUTOS_SAUDE.CSV`)
  5. **`sanitizers`** — Household, Hospital & Industrial Sanitizers/Disinfectants (*Saneantes* — `TA_CONSULTA_SANEANTES.CSV`)
- **Smart Auto-Detection of Query Type:**
  - **Product Name / Active Ingredient / Brand** (accent- and case-insensitive, e.g., `whey protein`, `creatina`, `protetor solar`, `ácido hialurônico`)
  - **Manufacturer or Importer Name** (*Razão Social*, e.g., `Natura`, `Boticário`, `Integralmedica`)
  - **14-Digit Brazilian CNPJ** (formatted `00.000.000/0001-00` or digits-only `00000000000100`)
  - **ANVISA Registration or Process Number** (`NU_REGISTRO` / `NU_PROCESSO`)
- **Single-Pass Multi-Query Batching:** Pass up to 100 queries separated by newlines or semicolons (`;`) and scan each ANVISA registry in a single streaming pass.
- **Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server:** Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, or CrewAI to `/mcp` in Standby mode so AI agents can verify Brazilian regulatory compliance on demand.

### Who Is This Built For?

| Use Case | How Teams Use This Actor |
| :--- | :--- |
| **E-Commerce & Marketplace Trust & Safety** (Mercado Livre, Amazon.com.br, Shopee, TikTok Shop) | Automatically verify whether third-party sellers’ supplements, sunscreens, serums, and medical devices hold active ANVISA numbers before publishing listings. |
| **Regulatory Affairs & Import/Export Compliance** | Audit supplier portfolios by **14-digit CNPJ** to detect expired registrations, cancelled notifications, or Class I–IV medical device risk classifications. |
| **B2B Lead Generation & Private-Label Sourcing** | Discover registered Brazilian manufacturers (*Razão Social* + *CNPJ*) of whey protein, creatine, collagen, dermocosmetics, and hospital sanitizers. |
| **AI Shopping, Healthcare & Legal Copilots (MCP)** | Give LLMs deterministic access to `verify_anvisa_product` so they never hallucinate ANVISA registration numbers or regulatory statuses. |

### Connecting AI Agents via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

When run in **Apify Standby Mode**, this Actor exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP Server at `/mcp` with two tools:

1. **`verify_anvisa_product`** — Search and verify products, brands, CNPJs, or ANVISA numbers across Cosmetics, Supplements, Foods, Medical Devices, and Sanitizers.
2. **`list_anvisa_registries`** — List all supported ANVISA open-data registries (free of charge).

#### Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP Configuration

### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This Actor uses Apify’s transparent **Pay-Per-Event** model:

- **`product-verified`**: Charged once per verified ANVISA product record saved to the Dataset or returned via MCP.
- Low memory footprint (**256 MB – 512 MB RAM**) using zero-disk HTTP streaming and early termination as soon as `maxResults` is satisfied.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Search term(s) to verify against ANVISA official open-data registries. Enter one or multiple queries separated by newline or semicolon (`;`), e.g. `whey protein; protetor solar; creatina` or a 14-digit CNPJ.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Select which official ANVISA open-data registries to search (`cosmetics`, `supplements`, `foods`, `medical_devices`, `sanitizers`).

## `onlyActive` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, returns only products whose ANVISA registration or notification is currently active and valid.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of verified ANVISA records to return per query (1 to 2,000). Each returned record triggers one `product-verified` Pay-Per-Event.

## MCP server setup

```json
{

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
