Apify: MCP vendor profile

Apify runs a hosted MCP server that lets agents search, call and pay for Apify Actors, the scrapers and automations on its platform, with tool sets chosen through URL parameters, as documented by the vendor. Apify says its MCP telemetry does not collect conversations, tool arguments, API tokens or personal data (docs.apify.com).

At a glance

What it does for this layer

By default the Apify MCP server loads the actors and docs tool categories, the apify/rag-web-browser and apify/web-fetch Actors, and report-problem (docs.apify.com). Telemetry is enabled by default for all Apify MCP tool calls; the local server opts out with --telemetry-enabled=false or TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false (docs.apify.com). Apify's Free plan includes 5 USD a month to spend in Apify Store or on one's own Actors, at 0.2 USD per compute unit (apify.com).

Apify's Starter plan is 19 USD a month at 0.2 USD per compute unit, Scale is 199 USD a month at 0.16 USD, and Business is 999 USD a month at 0.13 USD (apify.com). Apify selects tools through server URL parameters, for example https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,docs,apify/rag-web-browser (docs.apify.com). Apify says agents can pay for Actor runs without an Apify account through per-request payments (docs.apify.com).

Checks on its own domain

What it does not do

• Apify does not host arbitrary MCP servers; its server exposes Apify Actors.
