Apify Public Data MCP: 25 Production Scrapers & Public Records
One MCP server gives an AI agent 25 production public-data extractors - Google Maps business leads, LinkedIn and Glassdoor jobs, SEC EDGAR, USAspending, FEC, EPA, ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA, Europe PMC, GLEIF, CMS providers, Census geocoding, state business registries, contractor licences, Airbnb, YouTube, Twitch and Google Play - each running as an Actor on your own Apify account. Install with
uvx apify-data-scrapers (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client), or call the same Actors directly from Python, Node.js or no-code tools.
Each actor is built with strict schema validation, deterministic field mapping, self-healing DOM selectors, and pay-per-event pricing (per-result rates from $0.00015, Actor-start from $0.0005; the live Apify Store price is authoritative).

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import pandas as pd
# Get your API token from https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
client = ApifyClient(os.getenv("APIFY_TOKEN"))
# Run the actor
run = client.actor("captainhandsome/google-maps-business-search").call(run_input={
"search_query": "commercial electricians",
"location": "Dallas, Texas",
"max_items": 50,
"include_details": True,
})
# Fetch dataset items and export to CSV
items = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
df = pd.DataFrame(items)
df.to_csv("dallas_electricians.csv", index=False)
print(f"Exported {len(df)} leads to dallas_electricians.csv")
