When were Apify MCP Server's facts last verified?

2026-08-18. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

Apify's MCP server fronts the Apify platform: the Store of prebuilt scrapers and automations, the datasets those runs produce, and the documentation search. Its distinguishing behaviour is that it can also load an individual Actor's own MCP tools, so one endpoint proxies tool surfaces that other people published.

The hosted endpoint is https://mcp.apify.com/ over streamable HTTP. An unauthenticated request returns 401. Apify documents OAuth as the recommended flow, with an Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header as the alternative, and offers a local stdio option through npx for clients that prefer to run it themselves. The registry record for com.apify/apify-mcp-server lists version 0.14.3, published 2026-08-12, and marks the Authorization header as required and secret.

No Apify surface names a supported MCP revision, so spec support is recorded as unverified rather than inferred from the SDK the project depends on.
