# Apify MCP server

Connect your agent to the largest marketplace of tools for AI.

**The official Apify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives AI agents web scraping, data extraction, and browser automation through thousands of ready-made Actors from [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store), at [`https://mcp.apify.com`](https://mcp.apify.com).**

Apify is the marketplace of ready-to-run tools for AI agents. One connection to the Apify MCP server gives your agent thousands of tools to choose from, for jobs like web fetch, SERP monitoring, lead generation and enrichment, and pulling data from e-commerce sites and social media. The server loads only what each task needs.

Your agent searches Apify Store, checks an Actor's input and pricing, runs it, and reads the structured results, so you don't install a separate MCP server for every site. Connect to the hosted server with OAuth, or run it locally over stdio with the [`@apify/actors-mcp-server`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@apify/actors-mcp-server) npm package.
