Which clients are supported?

Any MCP-compatible client. The actors are listed on the publisher page, and the actor description indicates the MCP endpoint.

Can the agent write data back?

No. The server exposes read-only scraping tool calls; it does not modify any marketplace.

How do I keep responses cheap?

Scope the search terms narrowly and cap the number of results the tool returns to the agent.

Japan Market Data MCP Server

An assistant asked about current Japanese prices will answer from training data, which means it is wrong the moment a rerun hits or a seller cuts a price. The fix is to give the agent a tool that returns live listings instead of a recollection.

Several of these scrapers are exposed as MCP servers, so a compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your own harness — can call them directly. The agent requests a search, receives JSON records, and reasons over current data.

What you get

`item_name`	Product title returned to the agent.
`current_price_jpy`	Live price the agent quotes, with the run timestamp as context.
`condition`	Lets the agent distinguish sealed from opened stock.
`item_url`	Citation URL so a human can verify the agent's claim.

Field names follow the actor's dataset schema and can differ slightly between actors — check the actor page for the exact input and output schema before wiring it into a pipeline.

Use cases

Let an agent answer 'what does this figure go for in Japan right now' with live data.
Give a shopping or sourcing assistant an authoritative Japanese price check.
Ground a valuation workflow in retrievable listings rather than model memory.

How a run works

Starting a run: pick the actor for your marketplace from the publisher page, then start it from the Apify console or the API. Billing is per result returned (roughly $0.002 per item), so a scoped search stays cheap.
