Apify MCP Servers — by dizzyvinci
Two production-ready Apify Actors available as MCP servers via the Apify MCP Gateway. Free tier users can call them directly from any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.); pay-per-event pricing means you only pay for what you use.
Servers
1. Shopify Catalog Monitor
Track price drops, stock-outs, restocks, and new/removed products across any public Shopify store.
