Extract web data with 8000+ Apify Actors

This MCP server gives AI agents access to Apify's store of over 8,000 pre-built Actors - ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools for extracting data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites, and virtually any other website. It exposes tools to search the Actor store, fetch details about a specific Actor, call an Actor and retrieve its run results, and dynamically add an Actor as a new callable tool without reconfiguring the server. It also provides documentation search/fetch tools and storage tools for reading dataset metadata, dataset items, and key-value store records produced by Actor runs. Popular Actors include a Facebook Posts Scraper, Google Maps Email Extractor, Google Search Results Scraper, Instagram Scraper, and a RAG Web Browser for search-and-scrape workflows feeding retrieval-augmented generation.

Use this connector when you need an AI agent to pull structured data from a website or platform that already has an Apify Actor for it - scraping recent posts from an Instagram or Facebook account, extracting contact details from Google Maps listings, scraping Google search result pages, or searching for and calling an appropriate scraper Actor for a new data source. Only scrape content you're authorized to collect and in compliance with the target site's terms of service.

It does not write custom scraping logic from scratch - it discovers and runs existing Actors from the Apify Store, or lets you fetch results from Actors you've already built on the platform.

• search-actors / fetch-actor-details: search the Apify Store for a relevant scraper or automation tool and get its detailed configuration
• call-actor: run an Actor with given input and retrieve its results
• add-actor: dynamically register an Actor as a new callable tool during a session
• search-apify-docs / fetch-apify-docs: search and read Apify's documentation
• get-dataset / get-dataset-items: retrieve metadata and items from a dataset produced by an Actor run
• get-key-value-store / get-key-value-store-record: retrieve metadata and specific values from a key-value store

Data teams, researchers, and developers who need structured data extracted from social media, search engines, maps, or e-commerce sites and want to run an existing Apify Actor through an AI assistant rather than writing a custom scraper.
