9 tools: Canadian permits, companies, recalls, charities, funding and retail prices via Apify.

The publisher's own server: PriceWin

Overview

AI-generated overview

Nine Canada-focused tools for building permits, corporations, recalls, charities, funding programs and retail prices, run through your own Apify account.

What you can do
  • Search Canadian building permits across 19 cities, with optional planning, licence and tender signals
  • Look up federal corporations, CRA registered charities and small-business funding programs
  • Search Government of Canada recalls and safety alerts by agency, class and keyword
  • Compare grocery prices across Loblaw banners at a chosen store, postal code or city
  • Export product catalogs and prices from Shopify and WooCommerce stores
  • Search bestbuy.ca prices by province, with savings, stock and pickup status
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs Canadian public-record data (permits, corporations, charities, recalls, funding) or Canadian retail price and catalog comparisons, and you are willing to pay per result through Apify.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx with Node.js 18+ (Docker also possible). Needs an Apify account and an APIFY_TOKEN environment variable; optional MAX_CHARGE_USD (default 1) and MAX_RETURN_ITEMS (default 200). Network access to the Apify API is required.
Before you install
Every call spends money on your Apify account at the Actor's pay-per-event price, and Apify may add platform usage charges; prices can change. The APIFY_TOKEN is a billable credential, so keep it out of shared configs. Calls write nothing locally but send your queries to Apify and third-party store feeds.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open LOUDTZU Canada Data & Price Tools in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

LOUDTZU Canada Data & Price Tools (MCP server)

An MCP server with 9 ready-described tools for AI agents: Canadian building permits, federal corporations, recalls, registered charities, small-business funding programs, and retail prices (Best Buy Canada, Loblaw-banner grocery stores, any Shopify or WooCommerce store).

Each tool runs one of LOUDTZU's public Apify Actors on your own Apify account, using your APIFY_TOKEN. You pay Apify directly at the Actor's pay-per-event price (listed below and in every tool description). This server adds no fee of its own.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Apify, Best Buy, Loblaw Companies, Shopify, WooCommerce/Automattic, or any government body. Government data comes from official open-data portals under their open licences.

Prices were read from the Apify Store on Nov 11, 2026 and can change; the Actor's Store page is authoritative. Apify may also bill platform usage depending on your plan.

Each tool's input schema is generated from the Actor's own input schema, so filters and limits match the Store version. Every tool also accepts an optional runOptions object: maxTotalChargeUsd (a hard cost cap for that call) and timeoutSecs.

Install

You need Node.js 18+ and an Apify account with an API token (Console > Settings > API & Integrations).

{  "mcpServers": {    "loudtzu": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "loudtzu-actors-mcp"],      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<your Apify token>", "MAX_CHARGE_USD": "1" }    }  }}

Docker: docker build -t loudtzu-actors-mcp . && docker run -i --rm -e APIFY_TOKEN=... loudtzu-actors-mcp

Env varDefaultMeaning
APIFY_TOKEN(required)Your Apify token. Charges bill to this account.
MAX_CHARGE_USD1Per-call cap on Actor charges, sent to Apify as maxTotalChargeUsd.
MAX_RETURN_ITEMS200Max rows returned to the agent per call (the full count is reported).

How it works

Each call is POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/loudtzu~<actor>/run-sync-get-dataset-items with your token in the Authorization header and the tool arguments as the Actor input. Apify's synchronous limit is 300 seconds; for big pulls, lower maxItems or narrow the filters.

Why use this instead of Apify's own MCP server?

Apify's official MCP server can already search and run any public Actor, including these (for example https://mcp.apify.com?tools=loudtzu/canada-building-permits). If you already use it, you do not need this package. What this one adds:

  • A fixed, curated set of 9 Canada-focused tools, so an agent sees them in tools/list without searching the Store first.
  • Results come back inline as rows in one call. Apify's generic call-actor tool returns the run status and storage IDs, and a second call reads the dataset.
  • Agent-oriented descriptions with use cases and prices, cleaned JSON schemas, and a default $1 per-call cost cap.

Development

bash
npm installnpm test          # mocked fetch only; no live Apify callsnpm run buildnpm run gen       # refresh src/actors.generated.json from the Actors' input_schema.json files

MIT licence (the wrapper only; the Actors themselves are not included).
