Codify MCP

MCP server for custom automation tools using Apify Agent

Part of Project Codify

Project Codify

Complete end-to-end browser automation pipeline running inside browser (or locally). Codify and replay browser actions as robust (deterministic) and reusable scripts.
From rapid prototyping and quick automation scripts to sophisticated deployments at scale.

Login - reusable authentication sessions - reusable secure login (TBD) ☑️

Agent - turn scripts into browser actions - code or text script (future) ✅

Coder - turn browser actions into scripts (TBD - currently integrated) ✅

Robot - automation engine for scalability (TBD - currently integrated) ✅

MCP - automations become reusable tools you can reuse through AI ✅

More is on the way... Give it a shot 🎬 or join the list to follow the project! 🔔

What It Does

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants (e.g. Claude, Cursor, VS Code) execute browser automation tasks via Apify Agent. Tools are passed as clean JSON arguments — one per line. No manual setup or file creation.

Usage

Run directly using npx:

Or install locally:

Quick Start

1. Apify Token

Optional - you can also place the token inside the MCP server JSON later.

This saves your token to ~/.apify/auth.json.

Alternatively, set the environment variable:

2. Create a Tool

Apify Coder can turn casual browser actions into reusable AI tools.
Currently, this feature is also integrated in Apify Agent

Export a tool and append the result as a JSON string to the MCP server args field or ask your AI to do it for you.

3. Run the Server

Or with multiple tools:

4. Connect to Claude Desktop (or Cursor/VS Code)

Edit your Claude Desktop config:

macOS/Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude. Your tools are now available to the AI assistant.

Troubleshooting

"No valid tools in arguments"

Ensure you're passing valid JSON strings as arguments:

"Invalid or missing Apify token"

Ensure authentication is set up:

"Tool execution failed"

Check your Playwright script syntax. The script must be valid JavaScript that:

Large Tool Sets (50+ tools)
