FAQ
How do I connect Apify to an AI agent?
Hire an AI employee, open its Tools tab, find Apify, and click Connect. You authorise access through the standard Apify OAuth screen and the connection is live the moment you approve it. There are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.
Do I have to build a workflow or write code?
No. This is not a workflow builder with triggers and branches. You tell your AI employee what you want in plain language, and it decides which Apify actions to run. If you want it to happen every week, say that too.
What can an AI agent actually do inside Apify?
Everything Apify exposes to us: the full action list is on this page, read and write both. Anything Apify itself does not allow is listed as a limit, so you find out here rather than by failing later.
Is there an MCP server for Apify?
You do not need one, the Apify connection is built in. If you already run your own MCP server, your AI employee can use that too, alongside the built-in connection.
Will it work with my other tools at the same time?
Yes, and that is the point. Apify is one of thousands of connections, so a single request can read from one tool, act in Apify, and report back in your chat.
Is it safe to give an AI agent access to Apify?
You connect Apify once at the company level and choose which employees may use it. Sensitive actions can require your approval before they run, and every action the employee takes is logged.
