Frequently asked questions about the Apify MCP Server
Can I provide input parameters when running an actor?
Yes! Use the run_actor tool and provide the optional input JSON object to configure specific scraper settings for that run.
How do I see the items collected in a dataset?
Run the get_dataset_results query with your Dataset ID. The agent will retrieve the data records, which you can then ask the AI to summarize or analyze.
Is it possible to check the status of a specific actor run?
Absolutely. Use the get_run_details tool and provide the Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the status (RUNNING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED) and metadata for that specific execution.
