Install Rock's Apify Utility Actors in Claude Code
What you need first
- Claude Code, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Claude Code connects to it.
- Your own value for
YOUR_AUTHORIZATION.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that
project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --transport http rock-apify-tools 'https://mcp.apify.com?tools=rock-ai-tools/pdf-to-text-chunks-rag-ready,rock-ai-tools/csv-cleaner-deduplicator,rock-ai-tools/bulk-link-checker,rock-ai-tools/sitemap-to-url-list,rock-ai-tools/bulk-email-syntax-mx-validator,rock-ai-tools/bulk-phone-number-format-validator,rock-ai-tools/eu-vat-validator' --header 'Authorization: YOUR_AUTHORIZATION' - Replace
YOUR_AUTHORIZATIONwith your own value. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of rock-apify-tools.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Claude Code asks, or check the value in place of the placeholder.
- The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
