Apify's MCP server connects Claude to the Apify Store, where thousands of ready-made scrapers called Actors collect data from social networks, search engines, maps and online shops. Claude can look for the right Actor, read how to use it, run it and page through the results, with usage billed to your Apify account.
Who it is for
- Growth and marketing teams
- Researchers collecting social media or review data
- Developers who want scrapers without writing them

Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.
