YouTube transcripts, Google News/Trends, job postings, doc-to-Markdown and image tools via Apify
The publisher's own server: Fastio
Overview
A configuration for Apify's hosted MCP server that exposes Fast Data Actors for YouTube transcripts, Google News/Trends, job postings, document conversion and…
- What you can do
- Retrieve transcripts of YouTube videos and channels
- Search Google News articles and check Google Trends interest and related queries
- Search job postings, including listings from company career sites
- Convert PDFs and other documents to Markdown
- Upscale images, remove backgrounds and bulk-download images
- When to use it
- Useful when an assistant needs public web data such as video transcripts, news coverage, trend interest or job-market signals, or quick document and image processing, without building scrapers yourself.
- Requirements
- A remote connection to Apify's hosted MCP server with the Fast Data Actors listed in the tools parameter. An Apify account is required; authenticate via OAuth sign-in or an Apify API token sent in the Authorization header. Usage is billed per result, with a free plan that includes a small monthly credit.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Fast Data Actors (via Apify MCP) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.ichkifokkus%2Ffast-data/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Fast Data Actors via MCP (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code)
What this is, honestly: this folder contains no server code. It is a ready-made configuration for
Apify's hosted MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com, run by Apify), restricted to the
public Apify Actors by Fast Data (apify.com/fast_data_asap).
We build and maintain these Actors; Apify runs the MCP server. Your AI client talks to Apify, Apify runs the
Actor in your own Apify account, and you pay Apify's normal pay-per-result price for the results.
Registry name: io.github.ichkifokkus/fast-data (see server.json).
Tools you get
See each Actor page for the exact input fields and prices.
Server URL
Want fewer tools? Delete Actors from the tools= list (comma-separated, owner/actor-name).
Authentication
- OAuth (Claude.ai / Claude Desktop custom connectors, VS Code): just add the URL, then sign in to Apify in the browser window that opens.
- API token: send the header
Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>. Get the token in Apify Console under Settings → API & Integrations. An Apify account is free; the Free plan includes $5 of usage per month.
Setup
Claude.ai / Claude Desktop
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Fast Data, paste the server URL above, then connect and sign in to Apify.
Claude Code
Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json)

Try it
- "Get the transcript of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... and summarise it in 5 bullets."
- "What did Google News report about in the last 24 hours?"
- "Is OpenAI hiring more engineers in Europe this month? Use the job search tool."
- "Convert this PDF to Markdown: https://.../report.pdf"
Notes
- Don't put your token into files you commit. Use OAuth or your client's secret storage where possible.
