Apify MCP Integration for Codex
Connect Apify to Codex through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Apify to Codex
Use KosmoKrator as a local MCP proxy for Codex so coding sessions can reach selected integrations with explicit write policy.
Register kosmo mcp:serve as a local stdio server and choose the integration allowlist. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so Codex can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
Apify MCP Config for Codex
Keep write access denied or ask-based unless the workspace is trusted.

} Run the Gateway Manually
kosmokrator mcp:serve --integration=apify --write=deny Why Use KosmoKrator Here
Expose only Apify instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.

integration__apify__apify_get_actor | apify.apify_get_actor | Read | Get details of a specific Apify actor, including its description, input schema, default run options, and available versions. Use this to understand what input an actor requires before running it. |
integration__apify__apify_list_datasets | apify.apify_list_datasets | Read | List Apify datasets accessible to the authenticated user. Returns dataset IDs, names, item counts, and sizes. Supports pagination. |
integration__apify__apify_get_dataset | apify.apify_get_dataset | Read | Get details of a specific Apify dataset, including its item count, size, name, and associated actor run. Use apify_get_dataset_items to retrieve the actual data. |
integration__apify__apify_get_dataset_items | apify.apify_get_dataset_items | Read | Retrieve items from an Apify dataset. Supports JSON, CSV, and other formats. Use this to get the results from completed actor runs. Datasets are referenced by ID from run results. |
integration__apify__apify_list_key_value_stores | apify.apify_list_key_value_stores | Read | List Apify key-value stores accessible to the authenticated user. Key-value stores hold actor outputs like screenshots, PDFs, or JSON results. Supports pagination. |
integration__apify__apify_get_record | apify.apify_get_record | Read | Get a record from an Apify key-value store by its key. Common keys include "OUTPUT" for actor results, "SCREENSHOT" for page screenshots, or custom keys set by actor runs. |
