Configure MCP server with Hacker News Web Scraper

The configuration above connects to the hosted Apify MCP server with the Hacker News Web Scraper Actor already loaded. It uses OAuth, so your client opens a browser window to sign you in to Apify on first use. No API token is needed. Clients without OAuth support can authenticate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying an API token from API & Integrations in Apify Console.

Get a ready-to-use configuration for your MCP client with the Hacker News Web Scraper Actor preconfigured at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,slate_spool/hacker-news-web-scraper.

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

If you want to learn more about our Apify MCP implementation, check out our MCP documentation. To learn more about the Model Context Protocol in general, refer to the official MCP documentation or read our blog post.
