Subito.it MCP Server (via Apify)

TypeScript-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for searching and scraping listings from Subito.it using the Apify Actor azzouzana/subito-scraper-pro-by-search-url.

Instantly executable with npx on any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini Antigravity, Windsurf, VS Code, etc.).

🌟 Key Features

• 🚀 Run with npx, no global install: ready to use with npx -y mcp-server-subito-scraper.

• 🇮🇹 Full support for all Subito.it categories: Motors (cars, motorcycles), Real Estate (sale/rent), Electronics/IT, Phones, Furniture, Jobs, and General Marketplace.

• 🔍 Smart search (subito_search): Automatically generates URLs with filters for query, category, region, min/max price, and TuttoSubito shipping (shp=true).

• 🔗 Direct URL scraping (subito_scrape_by_url): Paste any URL with complex filters applied directly from the site.

• 📦 Dataset retrieval (subito_get_dataset_items): View and extract results from previously created Apify datasets.

• 🔑 Flexible Token Configuration: Via environment variable (APIFY_TOKEN), command-line parameter (--token), or directly in the prompt/tool.
