| 20 | The Apify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at [**mcp.apify.com**](https://mcp.apify.com) enables your AI agents to extract data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites, and any other website using thousands of ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools from [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store). It supports OAuth, allowing you to connect from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the URL. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | > **🚀 Use the hosted Apify MCP Server!** |
| 23 | > |
| 24 | > For the best experience, connect your AI assistant to our hosted server at **[`https://mcp.apify.com`](https://mcp.apify.com)**. The hosted server supports the latest features - including output schema inference for structured Actor results - that are not available when running locally via stdio. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | > ⚠️ **Legacy SSE transport removed.** The `https://mcp.apify.com/sse` endpoint has been removed in favor of Streamable HTTP. Migrate your client to **[`https://mcp.apify.com`](https://mcp.apify.com)** — drop the `/sse` suffix from your configuration. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | 💰 The server also supports [agentic payments](#-agentic-payments) via [x402](#-x402) and [Skyfire](#-skyfire), allowing AI agents to pay for Actor runs without an API token. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Apify MCP Server is compatible with `Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code` and any client that adheres to the Model Context Protocol. |
