}The Apify MCP Server exposes Apify Actors as tools you can use from AI agents or MCP clients. You can run it as an online HTTP SSE server or as a local stdio server, enabling secure, configurable access to your Actors for tasks like data extraction, web search, and more.
Interact with the Apify MCP Server using an MCP client that supports either Server-Sent Events (SSE) or stdio transport. SSE lets you send messages to the server and receive responses over HTTP. Stdio lets you run the server locally and communicate through standard input/output. You can load Actors dynamically, search for new Actors, and execute Actors as tools within your AI workflows.
Prerequisites you need before installing the server:
- Node.js (v18 or higher)
- An Apify API Token (APIFY_TOKEN)
- A compatible MCP client for your preferred transport (SSE or stdio)
Choose the transport that suits your workflow and configure the server accordingly. The HTTP SSE variant provides a remote endpoint you can connect to with your MCP client. The local stdio variant runs on your machine and connects via standard input/output.
