How can the AI agent run a scrape on a list of product URLs?

First, find your specific scraping Actor ID via `list_actors`. Then, prompt your agent to execute `run_actor`, providing the target URLs formatted as a structured JSON input payload. It returns a 'Run ID'. You can poll this run via `get_run`, and once it succeeds, the agent calls `get_dataset_items` to pull all acquired data straight to your window.

Can the agent interact with run configurations mid-way during crawling?

Yes. If an Apify crawler is currently executing and utilizes a Request Queue, you can instruct your agent to call `push_to_queue`. Doing so dynamically ships new URLs to the active queue instance, extending the current web crawl without needing to stop or restart the Actor.

Can my AI automatically detect scraping timeouts and debug the failure?

Absolutely. Because your agent can track real execution flows with `get_run`, it's aware if it transitions to TIMED-OUT or FAILED states. Subsequently, you can ask the agent to examine the KV Store log outputs ensuring the underlying issue (e.g. captcha block, blocking proxy) is identified immediately.

About Apify MCP Server

Connect your Apify workspace to your AI agent and seamlessly direct full-stack web scraping and data extraction workflows through natural conversation.

Google ADK natively supports Apify as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 10 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.

What you can do

Discover & Run Actors — Browse all scraper bots (Actors) available in your account. Fire them off asynchronously or synchronously for fast, targeted scraping
Extract Datasets — Pull robust structured data formats out of completed runs. Retrieve detailed JSON records directly into the agent's context window
Fetch Key-Value Stores — Programmatically read snapshots, cached HTML pages, or screenshots from the Apify Key-Value repositories mapped to a run
Job Control & Scalability — Stop hanging scraper jobs, queue new dynamic URLs mid-run, or inspect deep usage analytics, compute units, and webhooks limits

The Apify MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Google ADK with the Apify MCP Server

Google ADK provides unique advantages when paired with Apify through the Model Context Protocol.

Google ADK natively supports MCP tool servers — declare a tool provider and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution

Built on Gemini models, ADK provides long-context reasoning ideal for complex multi-tool workflows with Apify

Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in — not bolted on

Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine Apify tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions

Apify + Google ADK Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the Apify MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query Apify and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis

Multi-modal workflows: combine Apify tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent

Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query Apify regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift

Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including Apify

Apify MCP Tools for Google ADK (10)

These 10 tools become available when you connect Apify to Google ADK via MCP:

abort_run

Any data already scraped and pushed to the dataset is preserved. The run status changes to ABORTED. Use this to stop runaway scrapes or when sufficient data has been collected. Graceful shutdown depends on the actor implementation. Abort an active Apify actor run

get_account_limits

Essential for monitoring consumption and avoiding overage charges. Check Apify account subscription limits and compute unit usage

get_dataset_items

The datasetId is found in the run object (defaultDatasetId). Supports pagination via limit (max items per page) and offset (starting position). Returns an array of JSON objects containing the scraped data fields. Use limit=1000 for bulk downloads. Export structured JSON data from an Apify dataset

get_key_value_store

Key-value stores hold arbitrary data like screenshots (OUTPUT), configuration files, or intermediate results. The storeId comes from the run object (defaultKeyValueStoreId). Common keys include "OUTPUT", "INPUT", and "SCREENSHOT". Retrieve an item from an Apify actor key-value store

get_run

Poll this endpoint to track long-running scrapes. Check the status and metadata of a specific Apify actor run

list_actors

Includes owned actors and those from the Apify Store that have been saved. Each entry contains the actorId, name, description, and default run configuration. Use the actorId to trigger runs. List all accessible actors in the Apify account

list_webhooks

RUN.SUCCEEDED, ACTOR.RUN.FAILED), target URLs, and associated actor IDs. Webhooks enable event-driven architectures by notifying external systems when actor runs complete or fail. List all configured webhooks in the Apify account

push_to_queue

Pass the queueId (from the run object) and a JSON string array of request objects, e.g., [{"url":"https://...","uniqueKey":"..."}]. This enables dynamic crawling where new pages are discovered and added during execution. Dynamically push new URLs to an active Apify request queue

run_actor

Pass the actorId (e.g., "apify/web-scraper" or a custom ID) and a JSON string with the input configuration (start URLs, proxy settings, max pages, etc.). Returns immediately with a runId. Use ap.get_run to poll for completion and ap.get_dataset_items to retrieve extracted data. Start an Apify actor asynchronously with custom JSON input

run_actor_sync

run_actor but waits for the actor to finish before returning. The response includes the full run object with defaultDatasetId for immediate data retrieval. Best for short-lived actors (under 5 minutes). For long-running scrapes, use the async ap.run_actor instead. Run an Apify actor and block until completion (synchronous)

Example Prompts for Apify in Google ADK

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Google ADK agent to start working with Apify immediately.

"List all the Apify actors available on my account."

"Verify the status of run 'qKpwH9LgC3r0Xm' and show me its final dataset if finished."

"How are our compute usage limits tracking this current month on Apify?"

Apify + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating Apify MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
