What AI agents can do with Apify MCP: 10 Tools for Web Scraping
Manage actors, monitor limits, and extract datasets with these 10 web scraping tools.
Abort run
Stop an active Apify actor run. Use this to end runaway scrapes while preserving already collected data.
Get account limits
Check your Apify account subscription limits. Monitor compute unit usage to avoid overage charges.
Get dataset items
Export structured JSON data from an Apify dataset. Use limit and offset for paginated bulk downloads.
Get key value store
Retrieve an item from an Apify actor key-value store. This is useful for getting screenshots or config files.
Get run
Check the status and metadata of a specific Apify actor run. Poll this to track long-running scrapes.
List actors
List all accessible actors in your Apify account. See both owned actors and saved public templates.
List webhooks
List all configured webhooks in your account. See target URLs and associated actor IDs for event-driven tasks.
Push to queue
Dynamically push new URLs to an active Apify request queue. This lets you add discovered pages mid-run.
Run actor sync
Run an Apify actor and block until completion. This is best for short-lived tasks under five minutes.
Run actor
Start an Apify actor asynchronously with custom JSON input. Use this for large scrapes to get a run ID back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Apify MCP to scrape social media sites? +
Yes, you can use your agent to run specific actors designed for social platforms. The MCP allows your agent to trigger these runs and pull the resulting data back into your chat.
Does the Apify MCP support bypassing bot detection? +
Yes, because it connects to your Apify workspace, it uses Apify's proxy networks and browser management to handle bot detection for you.
How do I see how many compute units I have left with Apify MCP? +
You can simply ask your agent to check your account limits. It will pull your current subscription data and tell you how much of your monthly quota remains.
Can my agent find new URLs while a scrape is running? +
Yes, the MCP supports pushing new URLs to an active queue. This allows your agent to manage dynamic crawls where new pages are discovered as the scraper moves.
Is it possible to get screenshots of a website using the Apify MCP? +
Yes, you can ask your agent to retrieve items from your key-value store. This includes visual snapshots and configuration files from your completed runs.
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.
