Setup in three steps
- Create a free Apify account and copy your API token from Settings → API & Integrations.
- Add the Apify MCP server to your client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT with MCP support). The hosted endpoint is
https://mcp.apify.com; follow the client-specific instructions in Apify's docs. - Ask in plain language, for example: "Use agentsgearbox/telegram-channel-scraper to get the last 50 posts from the Bloomberg Telegram channel and summarize the main topics."
Why pay-per-event actors work best for agents
- The agent knows the price per result in advance, so a spending limit per run is easy to set.
- No platform usage fees are added on top, so the cost is predictable.
- Our actors return
errorrecords instead of failing the run, so the agent gets a readable answer when a channel, app or newsletter does not exist.
