Apify Public Data MCP server

This is a helper that gives your AI a set of tools for gathering public information from the web. It can look up business listings, job ads, company filings, government records, and more. It is handy if you often need to collect or check public data without doing all the clicking and copying yourself.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question, like finding electricians in Dallas or recent SEC filings from a company. Your AI passes that request to this helper, which runs a small data-collecting program on your Apify account. That program visits the public source, gathers the matching information, and sends it back. Your AI then shows you the results, often as a list or table you can read or copy. Each run costs a small amount through your own Apify account.

What you can do with it

• Find business leads from Google Maps, like names, phones, and websites
• Search job listings on LinkedIn and Glassdoor
• Look up company filings on SEC EDGAR
• Check contractor licenses in US states
• Pull government data like grants, tenders, and recalls
• Gather app reviews from Google Play and the Apple App Store

What it gives back to you

You get back a list of matching records, each with fields like names, addresses, phone numbers, dates, or statuses. Your AI can show this as a table or a summary in the chat. Sometimes it will tell you the result is empty or only partial, with a note about what happened. It may also give you a run ID if you want to check the details later.
