AutomationNation data tools (via Apify)

AutomationNation MCP server: Google Flights, Hotels, Shopping, News, Jobs, Trends, Maps leads, YouTube transcripts and more for AI agents

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.

Tools

Install

No install (Claude, ChatGPT and other clients with remote MCP): add this URL as a connector and sign in with Apify:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/data-tools-mcp-server

It runs the same server hosted on Apify (data-tools-mcp-server). Clients that use mcp.json can connect to https://automationnation--data-tools-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer . Add ?tools=travel (or any toolset below) to load fewer tools.

Run it yourself: You need an Apify API token: sign up free at console.apify.com, then copy the token from Settings → API & Integrations.

MCP Registry name: io.github.retracn/automationnation-mcp.

Claude Desktop: download automationnation-mcp.mcpb (or a smaller toolset below), open it, and paste your token when asked.

Claude Code

claude mcp add automationnation -e APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token -- npx -y github:retracn/automationnation-mcp

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline and other clients (mcp.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "automationnation": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:retracn/automationnation-mcp"], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "your_apify_token", "AUTOMATIONNATION_TOOLS": "all" } } } }

Hosted endpoint for any client with remote MCP (Streamable HTTP, nothing to install; your token goes in a header):

{

"mcpServers": { "automationnation": { "url": "https://automationnation--data-tools-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your_apify_token" } } } }

Open WebUI: Admin Panel → Settings → External Tools → +, type MCP (Streamable HTTP), URL https://automationnation--data-tools-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp, auth Bearer with your Apify token. Prefer single tools? See open-webui-tools.

LibreChat (librechat.yaml):

mcpServers:

automationnation: type: streamable-http url: https://automationnation--data-tools-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp headers: Authorization: "Bearer your_apify_token"

Smithery: npx -y @smithery/cli mcp add automationnation/data-tools

Self-hosted over HTTP (one deployment serves many users; each client sends its own token as Authorization: Bearer ):

npx -y github:retracn/automationnation-mcp --http --port 8080      # http://localhost:8080/mcp

docker build -t automationnation-mcp . && docker run -p 8080:8080 automationnation-mcp --http

Toolsets

Load only what you need with AUTOMATIONNATION_TOOLS (or --tools): a comma-separated list of toolsets or tool names. Fewer tools keep the agent's context small.
