Connect Apify to your AI

Credentials off one Apify screen, then an endpoint your client signs into. Nothing to deploy, and nothing to install.

Paste a personal API token into the API token field — that's the whole setup, with no OAuth popup and no refresh to manage. The token is scoped to one Apify account, so the connection is locked to that account.

API token••••••••••••3f7a

ConnectionVerified

Drop the PopMCP URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any other supported client. It signs in through PopMCP with OAuth, so your Apify credential never leaves the server.

FAQ

Apify MCP server questions

What teams ask before putting Apify behind an AI client.

What can the agent actually do with my Actors and runs?

It can list and inspect Actors, start a run and let it work in the background, or run one synchronously and get the output or dataset items back in a single call. Once a run is going it can read the run record, pull the log, and abort it. Everything it sees is inside the one Apify account the API token belongs to.

What is the difference between an Actor and a saved task here?

An Actor is the scraper itself; a saved task is an Actor plus a stored input you reuse. The connection covers both — get_task and get_task_input read a saved configuration, update_task_input changes it, and run_task or run_task_sync_get_items fires it. The catch is the "last run" tools: abort_actor_last_run and abort_task_last_run act on whatever is running most recently, so be specific about which Actor or task you mean.

Can it find and run Actors from the Apify Store it has never used before?

Yes. search_store lists Actors in the Store, get_actor reads the details of one, and run_actor_sync_get_items runs it and returns the scraped rows in the same call. That means an agent can go from "find me something that scrapes X" to rows on the screen without you opening the console.

Which Apify storage can it read and write?

All three types. Datasets, through list_datasets, get_dataset, get_dataset_items and push_dataset_items; key-value stores, through list_key_value_stores, list_key_value_store_keys, get_key_value_store_record and store_key_value_store_record; and request queues, through list_request_queues, get_request_queue, list_request_queue_requests and add_request_queue_request. Storing a record and pushing items are writes, so they sit behind your access mode and approval settings.

Does every tool load into my AI client at once?

No. The connection covers 226 operations across 19 API modules, and 38 of them load by default — the rest stay searchable so your client's tool list does not balloon. Turn on the full catalog when you need the less common modules, such as Actor versions or the deeper run-storage calls.

Will it tell me when a scrape fails?

Yes, through triggers. Webhooks fire when an Actor run starts, finishes, fails, is aborted, times out, or is resumed, and the same set exists for Actor builds — started, succeeded, failed, aborted and timed out. Two more work without webhooks: a polled trigger records any new run in the account, including ones started outside Apify, and change detection fires when a new saved task or a new dataset appears.

Do I have to run or host the Apify MCP server myself?

No. PopMCP hosts it and gives you a Streamable HTTP MCP URL. There is nothing to deploy, no callback URL to register, and no infrastructure to keep running or patch.

Which AI clients can use this MCP server?

Any client that supports a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server — Claude Desktop, Claude Web, ChatGPT custom connectors, Codex and the Codex CLI, OpenCode and Z.ai's ZCode, as well as editors such as Cursor, Windsurf and Zed. Your client signs in to PopMCP with OAuth; the provider credential never leaves the server.

Why do only 38 of the 226 tools load by default?

Loading 226 tool definitions into every conversation burns context before the work starts. PopMCP loads a curated 38-tool set covering the everyday workflows and keeps the rest searchable, so your AI pulls a specialist tool only when a task needs it. You can switch a connection to the full catalog at any time.

What is the difference between a tool and a trigger?

A tool is something your AI calls — there are 226 here. A trigger is something PopMCP watches for you: 20 Apify events that can start work on the PopMCP side. Triggers never enter your AI client's context, and none of them ask you to paste a callback URL into Apify.
