MCP endpoint

This Apify Actor runs in Standby mode and exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp. Use the Actor Standby URL with /mcp and authenticate with an Apify API token when required.

Buyer value

Agent-ready tools exposed through the MCP protocol.
Hosted on Apify Standby; no local server required for buyers.
Structured JSON-style results with source URLs or setup errors where relevant.
Designed as an informational workflow, not an authority for safety-critical, medical, legal, financial, or religious decisions.

Example MCP initialize request

curl -s -X POST "https://<username>--ephemeris.apify.actor/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"demo","version":"1.0"}}}'

Pricing suggestion

Free: limited trial usage.
Pro test plan: €2/month during the testing period only.
Team: €9/month for shared workflows and higher usage.

Limitations

This Actor exposes the MCP server over HTTP. Some third-party MCP clients may need an HTTP/Streamable MCP adapter or Apify's MCP tooling. Upstream public APIs can rate-limit or change schemas; tools return explicit errors/fallbacks where possible.
