About Actors MCP Server

It supports OAuth, allowing you to connect from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the URL.

For the best experience, connect your AI assistant to our hosted server at https://mcp.apify.com. The hosted server supports the latest features - including output schema inference for structured Actor results - that are not available when running locally via stdio.
