When to Use

The user needs web data extraction but has not yet chosen a specific Apify Actor.
You need a general-purpose Apify entry point that maps a broad scraping goal to the most suitable Actor.
The task spans multiple platforms and benefits from one unified workflow for actor selection, execution, and summarization.

Prerequisites

Verify prerequisites before execution without printing credentials.

.env file with APIFY_TOKEN
A supported Node.js release with native fetch, --env-file and ES module syntax detection, or an explicitly configured module package scope
mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc

Can't Find a Suitable Actor?

If none of the Actors above match the user's request, search the Apify Store directly:

# Load APIFY_TOKEN via the host’s approved secret mechanism; do not parse/source .env as shell code.
mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call search-actors keywords:="SEARCH_KEYWORDS" limit:=10 offset:=0 category:="" | jq -r '.content[0].text'

Replace SEARCH_KEYWORDS with 1-3 simple terms (e.g., "LinkedIn profiles", "Amazon products", "Twitter").

Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

# Load APIFY_TOKEN via the host’s approved secret mechanism; do not parse/source .env as shell code.
mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., compass/crawler-google-places).

This returns:

Actor description and README
Required and optional input parameters
Output fields (if available)

Step 3: Ask User Preferences
