Connect to your AI in seconds.

Apify MCP connects your AI agent directly to a full-stack web scraping platform. You can list available scrapers, run bots asynchronously or synchronously, and pull structured data records in raw JSON format, all through natural conversation.

What your AI can do

Abort run

Stops a running Apify scraper job immediately if the scrape is going off track or if enough data has already been collected.

Get account limits

Checks your current consumption and subscription limits to make sure you don't hit an overage charge.

Get dataset items

Exports the structured JSON data from a completed Apify dataset, supporting large bulk downloads by page limit.

+ 7 more capabilities included
Discover available scrapers

Lists every scraper bot (Actor) configured in your Apify account so you know what data is accessible.

Initiate scraping jobs

Starts a web scrape, either waiting for it to finish immediately or running it in the background for long-term monitoring.

Pull structured data

Retrieves the full dataset of scraped records as JSON objects after a job completes.

Control ongoing jobs

Allows you to stop runaway scrapes or tell an active scraper to crawl new URLs it finds.

Check system limits

Gives you a status report on your account's usage, including compute unit consumption and proxy bandwidth.

AI Agent

Apify: 10 Tools for Web Data Operations

Make your AI actually useful.

Add this MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf and your AI stops guessing. It gets real tools to look things up, take action, and handle the stuff you keep doing by hand.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 10 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Manually collecting web data is a grind.

Right now, if you need product listings from 50 different pages, you're sitting here clicking through tabs: copy the URL, paste it into your spreadsheet, manually adjust proxy settings, and then run the whole thing. It’s slow, prone to breakages, and frankly, exhausting.

With this MCP, that whole process disappears. You tell your agent what data fields you need, and the bot handles the entire traversal. The result? Structured JSON records appear instantly for review. That's a huge difference.

Apify MCP lets you manage web scraping runs.

Before this, if a scrape failed halfway through, your only option was to manually restart it and hope nothing broke. You had no easy way to tell the process, 'Hey, stop; we got enough data,' or 'Wait, crawl these 10 more specific links.'

Now you can control the entire lifecycle: start with `run_actor`, monitor status with `get_run`, and then dynamically feed it new URLs using `push_to_queue`. You're in charge of the bot.

What your AI can actually do with this

This connector lets you direct complex data extraction workflows entirely through chat. Instead of setting up API keys and running scripts locally, your agent talks to the Apify system—it finds the right scraper bot, runs it, monitors its progress, and pulls the resulting structured datasets into your context window. You can even tell the running process to crawl new pages you discover mid-job.

Because Vinkius hosts this MCP in the catalog, you just connect once from any compatible client, giving you immediate access to run these sophisticated web tasks without touching a command line.

Questions you might have

How do I list all available scrapers using Apify MCP? +

You use the list_actors tool. This shows you every scraper bot (Actor) you have access to, giving you their IDs so you know exactly what job they're built for.

What is the difference between run_actor and run_actor_sync? +

The difference is timing. run_actor starts a background process, which is best for long jobs because it returns immediately. run_actor_sync blocks your agent until the job finishes; use this only for very short tasks (under five minutes).

How do I get the final data from an Apify run? +

After a scrape is complete, use get_dataset_items. This pulls all the structured records and provides them to your agent in usable JSON format.

Can I stop a running scrape with abort_run? +

Yep. You can call abort_run anytime you need to halt a job, which is critical if the scraper starts pulling junk data or exceeds your budget.

How do I check my compute unit usage using get_account_limits? +

It immediately reports your current consumption against your subscription cap. This tool monitors both compute units and proxy bandwidth, helping you prevent unexpected overage charges on large scraping jobs.

What information does get_run provide about an active scraping job? +

The endpoint provides the run's current status, metadata, and consumption details. You can poll this tool to track if a long-running scrape is still running or has successfully completed.

When should I use get_key_value_store instead of getting dataset items? +

Use it for non-structured files like screenshots, configuration inputs, or raw HTML snapshots. The key-value store holds arbitrary binary and text data linked to a specific run ID.

How does list_webhooks help with automated workflows? +

This tool lists all configured webhooks, which enable external systems to react when an actor run succeeds or fails. It is essential for building reliable, event-driven architectures.

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.
