Apify

Automation

Web scraping and automation platform

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.

Add Apify to your zone and install the gateway URL into Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client.

  1. Open the catalog

    In your zone’s Keycard Console, go to ApplicationsAdd ApplicationExplore MCP Servers.

  2. Find and install Apify

    Search for Apify in the catalog and click Install.

  3. Connect your development tool

    Once installed, Apify appears on the Applications page with a Keycard MCP Gateway URL. Use the Install dropdown to add it to Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
