  "what": "Apify's official server at <code>https://mcp.apify.com</code>, authenticated by OAuth or an Apify API token. It exposes thousands of ready-made Actors — scrapers and crawlers for search engines, social platforms, maps and e-commerce — plus storage access and docs lookup, with dynamic tool discovery so agents find new Actors mid-conversation.",
  "why": "One connection buys a maintained scraper for almost any site, so you skip writing and babysitting your own. Useful when you need real data to build against instead of placeholder content.",
  "warn": "Actor runs consume compute units billed at $0.2 each on free and Starter plans, so a runaway agent burns the $5 free credit fast. Full-permission and rental Actors are deliberately excluded.",
