About apify-mcp-server
apify/apify-mcp-server
The Apify MCP server enables your AI agents to extract data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites, or any other website using thousands of ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools available on the Apify Store.
This tool allows AI assistants to gather specific information from websites, social media, search engines, and e-commerce platforms. You provide a task to your AI agent (like "find contact details for businesses in X city" or "extract posts from Y Facebook page"), and it uses pre-built web scraping tools to deliver structured data. This is for professionals like marketers, researchers, or business analysts who use AI assistants and need to collect publicly available web data.
