Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with Apify and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.
Cloud platform of ready-made scrapers ("Actors") and automation. Its hosted MCP server at mcp.apify.com lets AI assistants run Actors and get structured web data back.
Billed monthly, Apify lists Free ($0, with $5 to spend each month), Starter ($19/month), Scale ($199/month) and Business ($999/month). Each plan's fee is credited toward usage, with pay-as-you-go above it; compute units cost $0.20 on Free and Starter, $0.16 on Scale and $0.13 on Business. Annual billing saves 10%.

Usage covers Actors from Apify Store or your own; paid plans get a Store discount (Bronze, Silver, Gold). source ↗
The hosted server at mcp.apify.com connects over Streamable HTTP with OAuth (recommended) or an API token. source ↗
How Apify connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Confirmed Named in Apify's MCP docs Apify docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗ | Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Apify publishes an API. Apify API ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ | Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from Apify, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ |
| OpenAI Codex | Confirmed Named in Apify's MCP docs Apify docs ↗OpenAI Codex MCP docs ↗ | Confirmed OpenAI Codex can run code; Apify publishes an API.

| Google Antigravity | Not documented Apify has an official MCP server and Google Antigravity supports MCP, but Apify's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ. Apify MCP docs ↗Google Antigravity MCP docs ↗ | Confirmed Google Antigravity can run code; Apify publishes an API. Apify API ↗Google Antigravity docs ↗ | Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from Apify, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗ |
Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
