Use the Apify MCP server
in ChatGPT

Thousands of ready-made scrapers and automation actors, callable from your AI: websites, social platforms, maps, and more. This guide connects Apify to ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · Connects with your API key

Setup: Apify in ChatGPT

ChatGPT adds MCP servers via custom connectors in developer mode. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Apify to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors and enable Developer mode under Advanced.
  3. Click 'Create', name it 'gate', paste your gateway URL, and set authentication to OAuth.
  4. Approve the authorization — Apify is now available in your ChatGPT conversations.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Scrape the latest posts from this Instagram profile.”
“Extract all Google Maps listings for cafes in Berlin Mitte.”
“Run a website crawler on this domain and list every page.”
“Pull the top posts from this subreddit for the last week.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Apify connection works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Apify exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything ChatGPT did with Apify — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Apify passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
