Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Clutch.co B2B agency directory, profiles, and reviews as JSON, via an Apify Actor, hosted MCP.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Common questions

Is Clutch Agency API safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Clutch.co Agency API: B2B Company Data, Directory & Reviews

A company data API for Clutch.co, the B2B directory of agencies and service providers. Walk any category directory, pull full company profiles, and paginate every verified client review, returned as JSON and as LLM-ready markdown. This repo shows two ways to use it: a Python quick start, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) install steps for Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.

Text walkthrough

This is a company data API for Clutch.co. Pick a mode, give it a URL or a keyword, and it returns clean rows. In directory mode you pass a Clutch category page such as https://clutch.co/web-developers and get one row per company: name, rating, review count, minimum project size, hourly rate, team size, location, and the profile link, which is how you build a marketing agency database or a list of digital marketing agencies for a location. In profiles mode you pass company profile URLs (or bare slugs) and get the full record: description, founding year, service mix with percentages, industries, client sizes, pricing bands, and every verified client review as its own row. Every profile can also carry Clutch's own LLM-ready markdown at no extra cost, which makes this a good source for shortlisting B2B service providers or feeding a RAG pipeline. In search mode you pass a keyword and it collects the matching company profiles for you.

What you get

  • Directory listings (listing rows): name, rating, review count, verification badges, minimum project size, hourly rate, employees, location, profile URL.
  • Company profiles (profile rows): everything above plus description, founding year, all office locations, languages, service lines, focus areas, industries, client-size split, cost rating, pricing by service, and packages.
  • Client reviews (review rows): title, rating, the quality, schedule, cost, and willing-to-refer breakdown, project services, budget, duration, reviewer role and industry, and Clutch's own summaries.
  • Markdown on any profile row (default), and raw HTML on request.

Quick start (Python)

This example uses Python with uv. It never uses pip.

  1. Install uv (if you do not have it):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  1. Clone this repo and enter it:
git clone https://github.com/johnisanerd/Apify-Clutch-Agency-API.git

cd Apify-Clutch-Agency-API

  1. Add your Apify API token. Copy .env.example to .env and paste your token (get one free at https://apify.com?fpr=9n7kx3):
cp .env.example .env
  1. Run it. The default run stays cheap (one directory page, 10 rows):
uv run python clutch-agency-api-example.py
  1. Try the other modes:
uv run python clutch-agency-api-example.py --example directory

uv run python clutch-agency-api-example.py --example profiles uv run python clutch-agency-api-example.py --example search

Input parameters

FieldTypeNotes
modestringdirectory (default), profiles, or search.
directoryUrlsarrayClutch category or location pages, e.g. https://clutch.co/web-developers.
maxPagesPerDirectoryintegerResult pages per directory URL. Each page is about 70-90 companies.
profileUrlsarrayCompany profile URLs, e.g. https://clutch.co/profile/ignite-visibility. A bare slug works.
searchQueriesarrayFree-text queries, e.g. shopify development.
includeReviewsbooleanReturn every verified review as its own row. Default true.
maxReviewsPerProfileintegerCap on reviews per company.
outputFormatsarrayjson, markdown (default), and optionally html.
maxItemsintegerHard ceiling on rows for the run. Use it as a spend cap.

Example output

{

"result_type": "profile", "name": "Ignite Visibility", "profile_url": "https://clutch.co/profile/ignite-visibility", "website": "https://ignitevisibility.com", "rating": 4.8, "review_count": 175, "min_project_size": "$1,000+", "hourly_rate": "$100 - $149", "employees": "250 - 999", "founded_year": 2013, "headquarters": "San Diego, CA", "service_lines": [{ "name": "Search Engine Optimization", "percent": 30 }], "markdown": "# Ignite Visibility\n## Company Information\n..." }

Install as an MCP tool

The sections below add the Clutch.co Agency API to Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT as a Model Context Protocol tool, so an assistant can call it directly. The MCP server URL is the same everywhere:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api

Install in Claude Cowork Desktop

Cowork is the desktop app's automation mode. To give it the Clutch.co Agency API as a tool, add the Apify MCP server as a connector.

  1. Open the Claude desktop app and go to Settings → Connectors (or Settings → Developer → Edit Config to edit claude_desktop_config.json directly).
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  1. Add the Apify MCP server, preloaded with only this Actor:
{

"mcpServers": { "apify": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api" ] } } }

  1. Restart the app. When Cowork first calls the tool, complete the OAuth prompt in your browser, or add your Apify API token in the connector settings to skip OAuth.
  2. In a Cowork chat, ask it to run the Clutch.co Agency API.

Install in Claude Code

Claude Code is the command-line tool. Add the Actor's MCP server with one command:

claude mcp add --transport http apify \

"https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api"

To use a token instead of browser OAuth:

claude mcp add --transport http apify \

"https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Then verify with claude mcp list, or run /mcp inside a session. Ask Claude Code to call the Clutch.co Agency API.

Install in Claude (website)

On claude.ai you add Apify as a connector, then enable just this Actor's tool.

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors → Browse connectors and search for Apify MCP server. Install it (enable or update if prompted).
  2. When connecting, authenticate with your Apify API token, and enable the tool johnvc/clutch-agency-api.
  3. In any chat, open + → Connectors and turn on Apify.
  4. Alternatively, choose Add custom connector and paste the full MCP URL https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api, using OAuth when prompted.
  5. Ask Claude to run the Clutch.co Agency API.

Open Claude on the web: https://claude.ai

Install in Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from a project file at .cursor/mcp.json.

  1. In your project, create .cursor/mcp.json:
{

"mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api" } } }

  1. If you prefer token auth over browser OAuth, add a header:
{

"mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,johnvc/clutch-agency-api", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } }

  1. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and confirm the apify server is connected (green dot).
  2. In Composer or Chat, ask Cursor to call the Clutch.co Agency API.
