## 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.

## Climate Economic Nexus MCP Server

**Integrated assessment modeling with ecological tipping cascades** for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol. This MCP server orchestrates **18 environmental and economic data sources** and applies **8 mathematical frameworks** -- DICE integrated assessment, Thom cusp catastrophe tipping cascades, robust decision making (MOEA + PRIM), Gaussian process spatial downscaling, regime-switching carbon price forecasting, species-area biodiversity loss, and optimal fingerprinting climate attribution -- to deliver quantitative climate-economic risk intelligence.

### How the scoring works

Seven mathematical frameworks model different aspects of the climate-economy nexus.

**DICE Integrated Assessment** (Nordhaus 2017): Three-reservoir carbon cycle coupled with two-box energy balance model. Projects temperature, CO2 concentration, GDP, emissions, damages, and social cost of carbon over 150 years. Damage function: Omega(t) = a1*T + a2*T^2.

**Cusp Catastrophe Tipping Cascades** (Thom 1975): Models AMOC shutdown, Amazon dieback, ice sheet collapse, coral reef death, and permafrost thaw as coupled bifurcation systems. Cascade coupling via regularized Heaviside function. Bifurcation set: 8a^3 + 27b^2 = 0.

**Robust Decision Making**: Three-level optimization (Lempert et al. 2003) -- MOEA generates Pareto-optimal adaptation portfolios; PRIM bump-hunting discovers vulnerable scenario regions; Monte Carlo evaluates strategy robustness using regret measure.

**Gaussian Process Spatial Downscaling**: Matern-3/2 kernel GP conditioned on observation points to interpolate temperature anomalies, precipitation changes, sea level rise, and damage intensity at regional resolution.

**Carbon Price Regime Forecasting**: Regime-switching jump-diffusion with hidden semi-Markov model and negative-binomial sojourn times. Identifies low-stable, policy-transition, and high-volatile price regimes.

**Species-Area Biodiversity Loss**: S = cA^z with z = 0.25 (continental). Below percolation threshold p_c = 0.5928, habitat fragments trigger accelerated extinction with scaling exponent beta = 0.14.

**Optimal Fingerprinting Attribution**: Allen & Stott (2003) total least squares decomposition of observed damages into anthropogenic signal and natural variability components.

### Use cases for climate-economic intelligence

#### Climate Risk Financial Disclosure

Use `simulate_integrated_assessment` and `downscale_spatial_impacts` for TCFD-aligned climate risk scenario analysis. Project physical and transition risks under different warming pathways.

#### Carbon Market Strategy

Forecast carbon price regimes with `forecast_carbon_price_regimes` for emissions trading strategy. Identify regime transition probabilities for hedging and procurement timing.

#### Insurance Catastrophe Modeling

Attribute extreme weather damages to climate change with `attribute_climate_damages` for actuarial pricing. Decompose natural variability from anthropogenic trend.

#### Adaptation Investment Planning

Optimize climate adaptation portfolios with `optimize_robust_adaptation`. MOEA Pareto optimization identifies strategies robust across uncertainty scenarios.

#### Biodiversity Impact Assessment

Quantify ecosystem service losses with `assess_biodiversity_economic_loss` for environmental impact assessments and natural capital accounting.

#### Tipping Point Early Warning

Monitor proximity to ecological tipping points with `detect_tipping_cascades`. Cusp catastrophe analysis identifies when systems approach bifurcation thresholds.

### How much does it cost?

All tools cost **$0.04** per call. The **Apify Free plan** includes $5 of monthly credits -- enough for **125 tool calls**. Each call queries multiple environmental and economic data sources in parallel.

### FAQ

**Q: Are these real climate models?**
A: The mathematical frameworks are implementations of published climate-economic models (DICE, Thom catastrophe theory, Allen-Stott attribution). They operate on real environmental and economic data from authoritative sources.

**Q: How accurate are the projections?**
A: Projections are scenario analyses, not deterministic predictions. Uncertainty is inherent in integrated assessment modeling. Results should be interpreted by domain experts.

**Q: Is it legal to use this?**
A: All data sources are publicly available. See [Apify's guide on web scraping legality](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

**Q: What time horizons are covered?**
A: DICE simulates 150-year projections. Carbon price forecasting covers near-term regime transitions. Spatial downscaling provides current-state regional analysis.

**Q: Can I use this for regulatory compliance?**
A: The tools support scenario analysis for TCFD, EU Taxonomy, and other climate disclosure frameworks. Compliance filings should be reviewed by qualified professionals.
