Interact with the Apify platform to discover and run web scraping Actors from Apify Store, access datasets and results, and enable AI coding assistants to access Apify documentation and tutorials.
Adding Apify provisions three things in your zone: an upstream resource pointing at https://mcp.apify.com/ (kept inside Keycard), a Keycard MCP Gateway URL - the downstream resource - that you install in Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client, and a provider for token exchange with Apify’s OAuth issuer.
When your AI client makes a tool call, it sends a Keycard-issued access token to the gateway URL. Keycard’s STS exchanges that token for an upstream Apify token, the gateway calls the upstream MCP, and the response is proxied back. Your zone’s identity provider, access policies, and audit log apply to every call - the upstream credential never leaves Keycard. Each call is recorded in the audit log with the user identity, the resource accessed, and the policy decision.
Tools the upstream server exposes through the Keycard MCP Gateway.
Apify exposes 8 tools through the gateway:
- search-actors
- Search Apify Store for scraping tools and Actors
- fetch-actor-details
- Get detailed information about an Actor by its ID or full name (format: "username/name", e.
- call-actor
- Run an Apify Actor from the Store
- get-actor-run
- Get details of a specific Actor run by ID
- get-actor-output
- Get output dataset items from an Actor run
- search-apify-docs
- Search Apify and Crawlee documentation
- fetch-apify-docs
- Fetch full content of a documentation page by URL
- apify-slash-rag-web-browser
- This tool calls the Actor "apify/rag-web-browser" and retrieves its output results.
