Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface apify/apify-mcp-server, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

- highreadme#1Clarify the MCP server's role as an AI agent interface for web data extraction
Why:
CURRENTThe Apify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at **mcp.apify.com** enables your AI agents to extract data from social media, search engines, maps, e-commerce sites, and any other website using thousands of ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools from Apify Store. It supports OAuth, allowing you to connect from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the URL.
COPY-PASTE FIXThe **Apify Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** is a dedicated interface that empowers your AI agents to perform advanced web data extraction. It acts as a secure gateway, allowing AI agents to seamlessly access and utilize thousands of ready-made web scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools available on the Apify Store, enabling efficient data collection from social media, search engines, e-commerce sites, and any other website. Connect your AI assistant via OAuth from clients like Claude.ai or Visual Studio Code using just the server URL.

- mediumreadme#3Add a 'Why Apify MCP Server?' section to highlight its unique differentiator
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section titled 'Why Apify MCP Server?' or 'How is this different?' that explicitly states: 'Unlike low-level web scraping libraries (e.g., Scrapy, Playwright) that require manual coding for each site, or general web scraping platforms, the Apify MCP Server provides a specialized interface for AI agents to leverage a vast library of pre-built, robust Apify Actors. This allows AI agents to perform complex, structured data extraction tasks without needing to manage infrastructure or develop custom scrapers.'
