# TidyTools for AI agents (remote MCP)

Twelve pay-per-use web data tools that any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, n8n AI Agent, ...) can call through Apify's hosted MCP server. Nothing to install: add one URL.

## Connect

**OAuth (recommended):** add the URL above as a remote MCP server; your client opens an Apify sign-in the first time.

**API token:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tidytools": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=tidytools/company-website-enrichment,tidytools/website-contact-extractor,tidytools/website-markdown-crawler,tidytools/document-to-markdown,tidytools/audio-transcriber,tidytools/ai-crawler-access-checker,tidytools/smart-fetch,tidytools/regional-price-check,tidytools/places-database,tidytools/ats-job-search,tidytools/ads-transparency,tidytools/domain-authority",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

You need a free Apify account; runs are billed to it per result (no subscription). Only want a few tools? Keep just those in `?tools=`.

Besides the twelve tools, the server adds Apify's standard helpers (`get-actor-run`, `get-dataset-items`, `get-key-value-store-record`, `abort-actor-run`) so the agent can fetch results of longer runs.

## How it works

The server is Apify's official MCP server (`com.apify/apify-mcp-server`). The `tools` parameter limits it to these twelve Actors, so the agent sees twelve focused tools instead of thousands. Each Actor's behaviour, limits and output fields are documented on its Apify page.
