Web data APIs that answer in one request
These 13 Apify Actors have server mode switched on: instead of starting a run and reading a dataset, you send the input as an HTTP GET or POST to the Actor's own URL with your Apify token, and the results come back in the response. Each request starts a run in your own Apify account (single-tenant), billed at the Actor's normal price. Server mode was checked through the Apify API on 2026-11-12.

Actors that are their own MCP server
These answer MCP requests themselves at /mcp on their server URL, with typed tools of their own.

Tools: search_businesses, get_business_details, get_place_reviews.

Server request or batch run?
- One lookup, answer now: a server request. No run to start and poll; warm requests answer in seconds.
- Many inputs or thousands of results: a normal run through the API, n8n or MCP. Server requests have per-request caps, listed in each Actor's schema.
- Agents: since version 0.21.0, Apify's MCP server turns a scoped Actor with a server interface into a one-request tool. Add
call-actorto the URL when the agent should also start batch runs.
How a request works
- Send GET with the input as query parameters (repeat a parameter for list values) or POST with a JSON body.
- Authenticate with
Authorization: Bearerand your Apify API token. - Read the results from the response body. They are also saved to the run's dataset and billed per result, like a normal run.
- Each Actor page links its OpenAPI file, so tools that import OpenAPI can call it directly.
Server mode questions
Why does a server-mode request answer 429?
If no Actor run can take the request within 2 minutes, Apify answers 429; the first response must also arrive within 5 minutes. Retry after a short pause, and send one request at a time while you test.
How do I authenticate server-mode requests?
Send Authorization: Bearer with your Apify API token. A token query parameter also works and is stripped before the request reaches the Actor, but a header keeps the token out of logs and browser history.
Why does my agent get a request tool instead of a run tool for this Actor?
Since version 0.21.0 Apify's MCP server serves an Actor that has a server interface through that interface: one tool call sends one HTTP request. Add call-actor to the tools parameter when the agent should also start full batch runs.
