Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant pull public Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Threads profiles, posts, comments and transcripts through Apify-hosted scrapers.

What it does
This remote MCP server exposes a fixed set of Apify social media scrapers as tools: Instagram profile, posts and comments scrapers; TikTok profile video and comment scrapers; a YouTube transcript scraper; a YouTube comments scraper; and a Threads scraper for posts, profiles and replies. Apify's server also adds helpers to read a run, read its dataset, read a stored record and stop a run. The README notes the same endpoint pattern can load other Apify tool sets, such as Reddit, local business leads, real estate and jobs.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant needs public social media content for research, monitoring, content analysis or building a dataset, and you would rather not write scraping code yourself. It fits workflows that need profile details, captions, comments, view or like counts, or YouTube transcripts.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP MCP server at the Apify endpoint; no local package is installed. An Apify account is required, and the tools run on that account. Clients without OAuth must send an Apify API token in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Network access to Apify is needed.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries an Apify API token, a secret that should be scoped and kept private. Scrapers charge per result against your own Apify account; the free plan includes a limited monthly usage credit, and costs can grow with volume. The README states the author may earn a commission from sign-ups. Data is collected from third-party sites through Apify, so review the terms of those sites and Apify before use.

README

Web data tools for AI agents

Five tool sets for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP client. Each one is an address of Apify's hosted MCP server that loads a fixed list of scrapers, so the agent gets a handful of tools for one job instead of the whole Apify Store.

Connect

Add one of the addresses below as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP):

json
{"mcpServers": {"reddit-data": {"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=benthepythondev/reddit-scraper,benthepythondev/reddit-search-scraper,benthepythondev/reddit-comments-scraper,benthepythondev/reddit-archive-scraper"}}}

The first connection opens Apify's sign-in page. A client without OAuth sends an Apify API token instead, as the header Authorization: Bearer <token>.

What it costs

The tools run on your own Apify account. Each scraper charges per result, and its page in the Apify Store lists the price per plan. Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, and no scraper here needs a login or cookies for the site it reads.
