Signal Lab Apify Data APIs + MCP

What is this MCP

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Apify's web scraping and data extraction capabilities through a remote Streamable HTTP endpoint. It enables AI assistants to perform various web data collection tasks including web scraping, Amazon price monitoring, Google Autocomplete, website-to-Markdown conversion, YouTube transcript extraction, Reddit research, public job data extraction, and restaurant menu data collection.

How to use this MCP

Users need to set up their own Apify account for authentication since no owner credentials are embedded in the server. The MCP server acts as a remote HTTP endpoint that can be connected to AI assistants like Claude. Users configure their Apify API tokens for paid execution, and the MCP provides a standardized interface for various data extraction tasks through the Apify platform.
