Fast Data Actors (via Apify MCP)

Fast Data Actors via MCP (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code)

What this is, honestly: this folder contains no server code. It is a ready-made configuration for Apify's hosted MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com, run by Apify), restricted to the public Apify Actors by Fast Data (apify.com/fast_data_asap). We build and maintain these Actors; Apify runs the MCP server. Your AI client talks to Apify, Apify runs the Actor in your own Apify account, and you pay Apify's normal pay-per-result price for the results.

Registry name: io.github.ichkifokkus/fast-data (see server.json).

Tools you get

Actor	What the agent can do with it
YouTube Transcript Scraper	Get transcripts of YouTube videos/channels
Google News Scraper	Search Google News articles for a query
Google Trends Scraper	Interest over time / related queries for keywords
