Apify MCP Server

Lets an agent search Apify Store and run its ready-made scrapers and crawlers as MCP tools

Add the hosted server (OAuth)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com"
    }
  }
}

Copied from the project's docs at docs.apify.com/mcp

Why you'd want it

The server turns Apify Actors into MCP tools: the agent can search Apify Store, read an Actor's details, run it and page through the resulting dataset. By default it loads Actor search and calling tools, Apify docs search, and the RAG Web Browser and Web Fetch Actors. The hosted endpoint at mcp.apify.com signs in with OAuth, and a local stdio server runs through npx with an APIFY_TOKEN.

Best for

  • Scraping social media, maps and search results
  • Agents that need structured web data
  • Teams already using Apify

Use it when

Your agent needs data from a site that an existing Apify Actor already scrapes and you would rather pay per run than maintain a scraper.

Skip it if

You want a free or offline tool: running Actors needs an Apify account, token or agentic payment and uses paid platform usage beyond the Free plan's monthly allowance. Telemetry on tool calls is on by default; the README documents how to turn it off.

    Firecrawl MCP Server

    Use it when, skip it if, stats for Firecrawl MCP Server

    Why you'd want it

    The server exposes Firecrawl scrape, map, crawl, search, parse, interact and agent tools, plus monitors for recurring page checks and a credit usage tool. A hosted endpoint works keyless for scrape, search and parse within rate limits, and signing in or adding an API key unlocks the full tool set. You can also run it locally with npx or Docker and point it at a self-hosted Firecrawl API with FIRECRAWL_API_URL.

    Best for

    • Turning URLs into clean markdown or schema-shaped JSON
    • Crawling many pages under one site
    • Pages that need a click before they can be read

    Use it when

    Your agent needs content from known URLs, a whole site or a search query, in a format it can read directly.

    Skip it if

    You want to drive a browser session step by step from your own client: each interact call runs to completion and returns control. Crawl, map and agent tools need a Firecrawl account or API key.

    Stripe MCP and Agent Toolkit

    Use it when, skip it if, stats for Stripe MCP and Agent Toolkit

    Why you'd want it

    Stripe hosts an MCP server at mcp.stripe.com with OAuth; its tools search, inspect, read and write Stripe API methods and search the Stripe docs, which makes much of the API reachable without loading every endpoint into context. Stripe requires human confirmation before some write actions, such as refunds and outbound payments. The stripe/ai repo also holds the Agent Toolkit for Python and TypeScript (OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, CrewAI, Vercel AI SDK), a local MCP package, billing integrations for the Vercel AI SDK and native OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini SDKs, and Stripe agent skills and plugins.

    Best for

    • Products built on Stripe
    • Agent frameworks that need Stripe tools via function calling
    • Looking up Stripe docs while integrating

    Use it when

    You build on Stripe and want a coding agent or your own agent to query and change Stripe objects, or to answer integration questions from the Stripe docs.

    Skip it if

    You do not use Stripe. Write tools act on a real Stripe account, so Stripe advises turning on tool approval in your client and using restricted API keys to limit what the toolkit can do.

    Install the Claude Code plugin

    Use it when, skip it if, stats for Exa MCP Server

    Why you'd want it

    Exa hosts the server at mcp.exa.ai/mcp and it works without an API key under rate limits, so setup is a URL or a plugin install. The default tools are web_search_exa, which returns clean content for search results, and web_fetch_exa, which reads pages as markdown; advanced search with domain and date filters and Exa Agent runs for multi-step research can be turned on with the tools URL parameter. The repo also ships search and exa-agent skills that load with plugin installs.

    Best for

    • Coding agents that need current web results
    • Multi-step research and list-building
    • Improving built-in web search in Claude, ChatGPT or Codex

    Use it when

    Your agent needs to search the web or read pages as clean markdown and you want a hosted server with nothing to install.

    Skip it if

    You need more than light anonymous use: the keyless server is rate-limited, and Exa Agent requires OAuth or an Exa API key.
