# Apify MCP Servers — by dizzyvinci

Two production-ready **Apify Actors** available as **MCP servers** via the Apify MCP Gateway. Free tier users can call them directly from any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.); pay-per-event pricing means you only pay for what you use.

## Servers

### 1. Shopify Catalog Monitor

> Track price drops, stock-outs, restocks, and new/removed products across any public Shopify store.

**MCP endpoint:**
```
https://mcp.apify.com?tools=dizzyvinci/shopify-catalog-monitor
```

**Apify Store:** https://apify.com/dizzyvinci/shopify-catalog-monitor

**Tools exposed:** `shopify-catalog-monitor` — polls stores and returns only the diffs (price changes, stock changes, product adds/removes). On first call per store, captures a baseline; subsequent calls return what changed.

**Use cases:** competitor price intelligence, dropship product research, brand MAP enforcement, restock alerts.

### 2. US Building Permit Aggregator

> Pull recent building & construction permits from 9 major US cities in one unified schema.

**MCP endpoint:**
```
https://mcp.apify.com?tools=dizzyvinci/building-permit-aggregator
```

**Apify Store:** https://apify.com/dizzyvinci/building-permit-aggregator

**Tools exposed:** `building-permit-aggregator` — returns permits from Chicago, LA, Austin, SF, Seattle, DC, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Boston. All data from official government open-data APIs (Socrata, ArcGIS, Carto, CKAN).

**Use cases:** construction lead gen, market intelligence, real-estate research, contractor prospecting.
