Connect Errandkit tools to your AI agent (MCP)

All five Errandkit tools work in Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT and any other Model Context Protocol (MCP) client, through Apify's hosted MCP server at mcp.apify.com. No install: paste a URL, sign in to Apify, and the tools show up in your client.

Before you start

• An Apify account. The tools run in your own Apify account and are billed there per event, at the prices on each tool page. New Apify accounts include free monthly usage credit.
• Sign-in: either OAuth (your client opens a browser window to approve access) or an Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations. Treat the token like a password. Don't paste it into shared files or repositories.

Server URLs

All five on one server:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=errandkit/spreadsheet-doctor,errandkit/census-tract-demographics,errandkit/pdf-to-markdown-tables,errandkit/seo-ai-readiness-audit,errandkit/video-frames-for-ai

Apify's server also adds a few helper tools (get-actor-run, get-dataset-items, get-key-value-store-record, abort-actor-run) so your agent can fetch large results and stop long runs.

All five tools: setup by client

Claude (desktop and web)

Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector. Name it Errandkit, paste this URL, then sign in to Apify when asked:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=errandkit/spreadsheet-doctor,errandkit/census-tract-demographics,errandkit/pdf-to-markdown-tables,errandkit/seo-ai-readiness-audit,errandkit/video-frames-for-ai

Claude Desktop (config file, API token)

If you prefer an API token, add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config). Needs Node.js 18+.

Tips

• Ask in plain words, for example: "Use Errandkit Spreadsheet Doctor to dedupe contacts.csv by email" "Find the census tract and median income for 125 N Main St, Memphis, TN", "Can ChatGPT search and Perplexity crawl example.com?" or "Get the key scenes of this product video and describe each".
• Every failure comes back with an error code (for example NO_MATCHES, PDF_ENCRYPTED or PLATFORM_URL_NOT_SUPPORTED) and details your agent can act on.
• To cap spending, set a maximum cost per run in Apify, and review usage in Apify Console → Billing.
• Apify's own guide: Apify MCP server documentation.
