Overview
Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping and automation. Its programs, called Actors, run in the cloud from JSON input and save their results to datasets, and Apify Store lists ready-made Actors such as scrapers for Google Search, Google Maps and Instagram. The MCP server, the `apify` CLI and the REST API search the Store, run Actors and read their results. The MCP server signs in with OAuth in the browser, or takes an Apify API token as a Bearer header. The CLI signs in through Apify Console with `apify login`, and the API takes the token as a Bearer token. Each Actor sets its own pricing, such as Apify platform usage, a price per result or a price per event.
