+sidebar_label: Manus
+description: Learn how to connect Manus to the Apify MCP server to give your agent sessions access to real-time web data and thousands of Actor-powered automation tools.
+sidebar_position: 20
+slug: /integrations/manus
+---
+
+The _Manus_ integration connects Manus to Apify's library of [Actors](https://apify.com/store) through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro).
+This allows Manus agents to search and run Actors, scrape URLs, and retrieve datasets directly in agent sessions - without writing any code.
+You can also import [Apify Agent Skills](https://github.com/apify/agent-skills) from GitHub to give Manus structured, reusable scraping workflows.
+
+_Example prompt_:
+
+> "Search for 'best project management tools' on Google and summarize the top 10 results"
+
+In this guide, you'll learn how to connect Manus to the Apify MCP server as a custom connector, and how to import Apify Agent Skills from GitHub.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before connecting Manus to Apify, you'll need:
+
+- [An Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) - If you don't have one yet, sign up for free.
+- [A Manus account](https://manus.im) - MCP access is available on all Manus plans, including Free.
+
+## Connect the Apify MCP server
+
+1. In Manus, open **Settings**.
+
+    ![Manus sidebar with the Settings icon highlighted at the bottom left](images/manus/open-settings.png)
+
+1. Open **Connectors**.
+
+    ![Manus Settings panel with Connectors selected in the left navigation](images/manus/settings-connectors.png)
+
+1. Click **+ Add connectors**.
+
+    ![Manus Connectors panel showing the + Add connectors button](images/manus/connectors-panel.png)
+
+1. Go to the **Custom MCP** tab, click **+ Add custom MCP**, then select **Direct configuration** for a manual setup.
+
+    ![Custom MCP tab and Direct configuration option highlighted in Manus](images/manus/direct-config-custom-mcp.png)
+1. Fill in the following fields and click **Save**:
+    - **Server name** - e.g. `Apify`
+    - **Transport type** - `HTTP` (default)
+    - **Icon** (optional) - `https://apify.com/img/apify-logo/logomark-32x32.svg`
+    - **Server URL** - `https://mcp.apify.com`
+    ![Manus MCP configuration form filled in with Apify server details and the Save button highlighted](images/manus/mcp-configuration.png)
+
+:::tip Customize available tools
+
+The default MCP server URL exposes a predefined set of tools. You can choose exactly which tools and Actors are available by building a custom MCP URL with the [MCP configurator](https://mcp.apify.com). See [Configure tools](#configure-tools) below for details.
+
+:::
+
+## Try the MCP connector in Manus
+
+To use the Apify connector in a chat session, click the connectors icon in the toolbar below the chat input and toggle **Apify** on.
+
+![Manus chat interface showing the connectors menu with Apify listed](images/manus/chat-connectors-menu.png)
+
+The first time Manus tries to call an Apify tool, it will pause and prompt you to **Log in** to your Apify account via OAuth. After you authorize, the connector stays authenticated for future sessions.
+
+![Manus chat session showing the Apify connector OAuth login prompt](images/manus/oauth-login.png)
+
+:::tip Revoke access
+You can revoke the Manus connector's access to your Apify account at any time in [Apify Console > Settings > Integrations](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
+:::
+
+Try asking Manus something like:
+
+> "Search for 'best project management tools' on Google and summarize the top 10 results"
+
+Manus will call `search-actors` to find [Google Search Scraper](https://apify.com/apify/google-search-scraper), use `call-actor` to run it, and then `get-actor-output` to retrieve and summarize the results.
+
+## Configure tools
+
+After connecting, the Apify MCP server exposes a default set of tools for Actor discovery (`search-actors`, `fetch-actor-details`, `call-actor`, `get-actor-output`), web browsing (`apify/rag-web-browser`), and documentation search (`search-apify-docs`, `fetch-apify-docs`). See the [full tool reference](/platform/integrations/mcp#available-tools) for the complete list.
+
+To control which tools are available, append a `tools=` query parameter to the server URL:
+
+| Goal | Server URL |
+| --- | --- |
+| Default tool set | `https://mcp.apify.com` |
+| Actor discovery and Apify docs search only | `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,docs` |
+| Specific Actors only | `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=apify/instagram-scraper,apify/google-search-scraper` |
+
+Use the interactive configurator at [mcp.apify.com](https://mcp.apify.com) to browse available tools and generate a MCP server URL you can paste directly into Manus.
+
+## Import Apify Agent Skills
+
+[Apify Agent Skills](https://github.com/apify/agent-skills) are reusable, structured workflows that tell Manus _how_ to accomplish scraping tasks using Apify tools.
+Unlike MCP connectors (which provide tool access), each skill is a `SKILL.md` file that bundles domain knowledge, step-by-step instructions, and best practices Manus can follow.
+
+Available skills include:
+
+| Skill | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `apify-ultimate-scraper` | Universal scraper for 55+ platforms - Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, and more |
+| `apify-actor-development` | Full Actor lifecycle: template selection, development, testing, and deployment |
+| `apify-actorization` | Converts existing projects into Apify Actors |
+| `apify-generate-output-schema` | Generates dataset and key-value store schemas from Actor source code |
+
+### Import a skill from GitHub
+
+Each skill lives in its own folder inside the [apify/agent-skills](https://github.com/apify/agent-skills) repository.
+
+:::note Skill folder URL
+
+When importing in Manus, provide the URL of the folder that contains the `SKILL.md` file, not the repository root.
+
+:::
+
+Folder URLs follow this format:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/apify/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/{skill-name}
+```
+
+To import the `apify-ultimate-scraper` skill:
+
+1. In Manus, open **Settings** and select the **Skills** tab.
+1. Click **+ Add** → **Import from GitHub**.
+
+    ![Manus Skills tab with the + Add dropdown open, showing the Import from GitHub option](images/manus/add-skill.png)
+
+1. Paste the skill folder URL and click **Import**:
+
+    ```text
+    https://github.com/apify/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/apify-ultimate-scraper
+    ```
+
+    ![Import from GitHub dialog with the skill URL filled in and the Import button highlighted](images/manus/import-skill.png)
+
+After importing, the skill appears in your Skills list with its toggle turned on, meaning you can reference it in any chat right away.
+
+![Manus Skills tab showing apify-ultimate-scraper imported and enabled](images/manus/added-skill.png)
+
+Repeat this for any other skill you want to add.
+
+### Use an imported skill
+
+Reference a skill in any Manus chat by typing `/` followed by the skill name.
+For example, to use `apify-ultimate-scraper`:
+
+1. Type `/apify-ultimate-scraper` in the Manus chat.
+
+    ![Manus chat input showing the /apify skill autocomplete with apify-ultimate-scraper suggested](images/manus/linked-skill.png)
+
+1. Ask Manus to perform a task, for example:
+
+    > "Get the top 10 posts from @natgeo on Instagram"
+
+Manus will load the skill instructions and use the appropriate Apify Actors to complete the task.
+

+
+## Limitations
+
+- Long-running Actors may time out before a Manus session finishes processing them. If a scrape times out, reduce the scope (fewer URLs, smaller result limits) or split the work across multiple prompts.
+- Each MCP tool call consumes Manus credits in addition to any Apify platform costs. Complex workflows using multiple Actors can consume credits quickly.
+- When you share a Manus session, recipients can see conversation messages and output artifacts. Connectors are automatically disabled in shared sessions, but avoid including sensitive data in the conversation itself.
