Apify Actors MCP Server

Apify Actors MCP Server is the companion project to the main Apify MCP Server, but with a different approach. Instead of giving your agent a generic interface to browse and run any Actor, this server lets you select specific Actors and expose each one as a dedicated MCP tool. The result is a more focused, discoverable interface — your agent sees named tools like "scrape_google_maps" or "extract_linkedin_profiles" rather than a generic "run_actor" command. This design choice matters for agent usability. When an MCP client shows your agent a list of available tools, having purpose-specific names and descriptions helps the agent pick the right tool for the task. It is the difference between a toolbox with labeled drawers and one where everything is in a single bin. You configure which Actors to expose, and the server generates properly typed MCP tools for each. The project shares the same codebase and maintenance team as the main Apify MCP server (same repo, 798 stars). It is particularly useful when you have a curated set of Actors your team uses regularly and want your agent to access them by name without browsing the full marketplace each time.
