Apify Public Data MCP: 40 Production Data Tools & Public Records

Python 3.10+ Node.js 18+ Apify Verified Glama MCP Server License: MIT Smithery Listed on mcpservers.org One MCP server gives an AI agent 40 production data extractors - Google Maps business leads, Google News, Google Autocomplete, LinkedIn and Glassdoor jobs, SEC EDGAR, USAspending, Grants.gov, TED tenders, NHTSA recalls, FEC, EPA, ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA, Europe PMC, GLEIF, CMS providers, Census geocoding, state business registries, contractor licences, Airbnb, YouTube, Twitch and Google Play - each running as an Actor on your own Apify account. Install with uvx apify-data-scrapers (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client), or call the same Actors directly from Python, Node.js or no-code tools.

Each actor is built with strict schema validation, deterministic field mapping, self-healing DOM selectors, and pay-per-event pricing (per-result rates from $0.00015, Actor-start from $0.0005; the live Apify Store price is authoritative).

Runtime contract and spending control

Since version 1.1.0, calls return {results, status, run?} in both MCP structured content and text. Status is success, partial, empty_unverified, or error; errors include a stable code and retry guidance. Zero rows are not proof that no matching records exist. Existing integrations that parsed a bare result array must now read results. Native dataset field names are preserved.

Each call requests a 120-second Actor timeout and a pay-per-event charge cap of $1 by default. Set APIFY_MAX_CHARGE_USD to adjust the cap. This is per run, not a total account spending limit; platform fees outside Actor event charges may still apply. Up to four calls may run concurrently. Cancelling a request attempts to abort its cloud run; check the returned run ID if confirmation fails. An ambiguous start is never retried automatically.

The MCP executable is Python; Node.js files are direct Actor API examples, not a second MCP server. Private queued Actors are omitted from this public catalog.

Quick Navigation

Choose your tools

Choose a focused tool profile and generate your installation configuration.

Version 1.2.0 adds the optional APIFY_TOOL_PROFILE environment variable: all (default), leads, market, government, or research. These correspond to the four catalog categories below. Profiles restrict tool discovery and calls, prompts, and the Actor catalog. Restart the MCP server and refresh/reconnect your client after changing the profile. Keep only the focused server entry if you do not also want the full catalog loaded. Direct Actor API examples are unchanged; this setting is not an Apify account permission boundary.

No separate subscription to this MCP package is required. Actor runs are billed through your Apify account at the displayed Store price. Start with a small run and inspect its output before scheduling recurring work; public-source data can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable.

Privacy Policy

The MCP server collects nothing. It runs on your machine, reads APIFY_TOKEN from your environment, and its only outbound calls are to the Apify API to run the Actor you asked for — on your own Apify account. No telemetry, no logs, no data sent to us. Full policy: apify.revenuesystemslabs.com/privacy.

Make.com templates

Eight published Make scenarios, one click to copy into your own Make account. Each asks for your Apify token and your destination (Google Sheets or Slack) in the setup wizard.

Python Quickstart

1. Install dependencies

pip install apify-client pandas python-dotenv

2. Export 50 Google Maps Leads to CSV

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient
import pandas as pd

# Get your API token from https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
client = ApifyClient(os.getenv("APIFY_TOKEN"))

# Run the actor
run = client.actor("captainhandsome/google-maps-business-search").call(run_input={
    "search_query": "commercial electricians",
    "location": "Dallas, Texas",
    "max_items": 50,
    "include_details": True,
})

# Fetch dataset items and export to CSV
items = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
df = pd.DataFrame(items)
df.to_csv("dallas_electricians.csv", index=False)
print(f"Exported {len(df)} leads to dallas_electricians.csv")

See examples/google_maps_leads_to_csv.py for the full script.

Node.js Quickstart

1. Install dependencies

npm install apify-client

2. Query SEC EDGAR Filings

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('captainhandsome/sec-edgar-filings-search').call({
  companies: ['AAPL', 'NVDA', 'MSFT'],
  forms: ['10-K'],
  max_items: 15,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(filing => {
  console.log(`[${filing.ticker}] ${filing.form} (${filing.filing_date}): ${filing.filing_url}`);
});

See examples/sec_filings.js for the full script.

No-Code & Automation Workflows

If you automate via n8n, Make, Zapier, or Google Sheets, ready-to-import blueprints are included in workflows/:

Open a template in Make: Google Maps, Glassdoor, California contractors, SEC filings to Slack, Google News, Grants.gov, TED tenders, or NHTSA recalls.

Pre-Built Example Tasks (Zero Code)

If you prefer runnable web UI tasks without writing any code, each actor includes pre-configured tasks published on Apify Store:

Google Maps Leads

Glassdoor Jobs

Airbnb Rentals

YouTube & Google Play

Free Sample Datasets

Looking for clean data to benchmark, analyze, or train models? Verified sample bundles with metadata schemas are available in datasets/ and hosted publicly on Hugging Face Datasets:

Eight verified sample bundles, each exported from a production run of the Actor named beside it. Every one is served from this repository and mirrored to Hugging Face, where the dataset card links back to the Actor that produced it.

AI Agent & MCP Integration

All actors in this repository conform to OpenAPI and JSON Schema standards, making them directly callable by AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP):

Option 1: Claude Desktop / Cursor with UVX (Recommended)

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-data-scrapers": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["apify-data-scrapers"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Docker Container (Glama / Cloud)

Run via Docker:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-data-scrapers": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "APIFY_TOKEN", "glcr.b-cdn.net/jlucasmcrell/apify-scrapers:latest"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Local Python Stdio Runner

Install via pip or run directly:

pip install apify-data-scrapers
export APIFY_TOKEN="your_token_here"
apify-data-scrapers

Or from local source:

python mcp_server.py

Agent Prompts That Work Out-of-the-Box:

  • "Search Google Maps for 50 commercial roofers in Atlanta with phone numbers and websites."
  • "Retrieve Apple and Microsoft Form 10-K filings from SEC EDGAR for the last 2 years."
  • "Search Glassdoor for remote product manager jobs with salary estimates."
