Local Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Run with stdio (for testing)
MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio npm start

# Run with SSE (for local HTTP)
npm start
# Server runs on http://localhost:3000/sse

Testing

Test with the MCP inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/main.js

Why This Wins

  1. Supply: Near-zero MCP servers on Apify right now

  2. Demand: Every AI framework adopting MCP (Claude, GPT, Cursor)

  3. Agentic Payments: Apify handles billing, agents pay autonomously

  4. Moat: First quality servers get whitelisted in agent configs

  5. Recurring: Agents run 24/7, every query = billable event
