Connect Apify MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Apify to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Run Apify actors via Cline
Give Cline the power to start scrapes using `run_actor`. It can pass your input configuration as JSON, making it easy to target specific URLs or proxy settings. When you need the result immediately, use `run_actor_sync`. Cline will wait for the actor to finish and then parse the output for your next task.
Query Apify results in Cline
Use `get_dataset_items` to pull JSON fields into your project. Cline can then write the code to process, transform, or save that data into your local files. Keep track of your usage with `get_account_limits`. Cline checks these metrics to make sure your automated tasks stay within your subscription budget.
Manage active Apify runs in Cline
Use `get_run` to check if your scraping jobs are still active. It gives you the run metadata you need to verify if the job succeeded before you start building. If you need to inject new URLs into an active task, `push_to_queue` lets you update your crawl dynamically. Cline handles the request objects so your scraping stays relevant.
