Questions

What is the Apify MCP server?

24 in total: 19 read-only, 5 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

With care. The audit graded it B (81/100) and found 18 things worth knowing before you trust this server, listed below with the exact line each was found on.

What credentials does Apify need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, APIFY_TOKEN, LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY and OPENROUTER_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
