retracn/automationnation-mcp

An MCP server with 18 data tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other AI agents. Each tool runs one of AutomationNation's Apify Actors on **your Apify account** and returns compact JSON the agent can use straight away: flight fares, hotel prices, product prices, news, jobs, search trends, local business leads, competitors' ads, YouTube transcripts, app reviews and AI-search visibility.
- **Purpose-built tools**: short, documented inputs (origin, destination, departure_date…) instead of raw scraper schemas, and outputs trimmed to the fields an agent needs.
- **Pay per result, no subscription**: usage is billed by each Actor on your Apify account (prices below). A free Apify account includes monthly credit.
- **Safe by default**: every run carries a spending cap of about 3x its expected cost; long runs return partial results with a run_id instead of timing out.
- **Works without a token for discovery**: tools are listed before you configure anything, so clients and registries can inspect them.
**Try it without installing anything:** add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/data-tools-mcp-server as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or any remote-MCP client, sign in with Apify, and ask something like *"find nonstop flights from London to New York on 12 November"*. Other ways to run it are under Install.
