What the code does

We read the source, 2 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a database query by concatenation src/tools/tasks/publish_actor_task.ts:29
If publishing fails, follow the API reason${hasTool(HELPER_TOOLS.ACTOR_TASK_UPDATE) ? `; update these fields with ${HELPER_TOOLS.ACTOR_TASK_UPDATE} only when the reason identifies them` : ''}.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but you need an API key from its owner to call it.

Apify MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Apify MCP Server?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Apify MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 360 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Apify MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own key: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Apify MCP Server need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Apify MCP Server answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Apify MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 360 ms on average, which is faster than 38% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Apify MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 14 279 stars on GitHub and 203 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.apify.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
