Works with AI agents via Apify's MCP server

Every Siftwright tool is available to agents through Apify's hosted Model Context Protocol server. Add it to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client, and your agent can fetch transcripts, capture pages and search the news on its own.

  • No glue code: tools arrive with typed inputs and descriptions
  • Structured JSON output that's easy for models to use
  • Same pay-per-success pricing as direct API calls

FAQ

Short answers to the questions we get most.

How does pricing work?

Each tool is priced per result on the Apify Store (pay-per-event). You're charged for a transcript, screenshot or article only when it is actually returned. Apify also adds a tiny per-run start fee of $0.00005 on some tools. Usage is billed by Apify to your Apify account.

What happens when a result fails?

You don't pay for it. Timeouts, pages that won't load, videos without captions and empty searches are free. The tool logs what went wrong so you can see why.

Do I need an Apify account?

Yes. The tools run on Apify, which has a free plan with monthly credit. That's usually enough to try every tool here several times.

Can I call these from my own code?

Yes. Every tool has a REST API, plus official Python and JavaScript clients from Apify. Each Store page lists ready-to-copy examples.

Can my AI agent use them?

Yes. Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code and others) at Apify's MCP server and the tools show up as callable functions. See the snippet above.

How do I get help or request a feature?

Email support@siftwright.com, or open an issue on the tool's Apify Store page. We read everything.
