## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Viral Hook MCP — Hook Formulas for Creators & AI Agents

**The first 2 seconds decide everything. This MCP gives your AI agent the hook mechanics, not guesses.**

### What it does

Provide a topic or a draft opener — get back structured hook formulas, niche-tuned examples, and rewrites. Built from patterns that survive across platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn), not one-week trend templates.

### 5 Tools

| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
| `get_hook_formulas` | The 10 hook styles as fill-in structures with why each works and its failure mode |
| `get_hook_examples` | Niche-tuned examples for your niche (10 niches: business, AI/tech, fitness, parenting, marketing, finance, ecommerce, content creation, productivity, lifestyle) |
| `rewrite_as_hook` | Turns your topic or draft line into openers across multiple hook styles |
| `get_niches` | Lists supported niches |
| `get_full_hook_library` | The complete library in one payload for agent context |

### Hook styles covered

contrarian · specific\_number · curiosity\_gap · bold\_claim · confession · stop\_doing · pattern\_interrupt · story\_open · question\_hook · future\_pace

### Pricing

Apify pay-per-event: from $0.05 per tool call. First calls free to test.
