How to Set Up and Use API Mega List
API Mega List is a comprehensive curated directory of over 10,498 ready-to-use APIs organized across 18 categories including AI (1,208 APIs), Automation (4,825), Social Media (3,268), Lead Generation (3,452), E-commerce (2,440), and Developer Tools (2,652). The collection also includes 131 dedicated MCP servers for AI agent integration. Developers and builders use it as a reference to discover pre-built API integrations for YouTube scraping, Google Maps extraction, Amazon product data, real estate listings, and hundreds of other data sources — dramatically shortening the time to prototype new applications.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npx installed (for running the MCP server wrapper)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- API keys from specific third-party providers you plan to use (varies per API)
- An Apify account for APIs hosted on the Apify platform (many entries are Apify actors)

"mcpServers": {
"api-mega-list": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["api-mega-list"]
}
}
}Configure credentials for specific APIs
For each API you intend to use, obtain the necessary API key or credentials from the provider. Apify actors require an Apify API token from your Apify account settings.
Test with a specific API integration
Ask your AI assistant to find and use a specific API from the directory, providing the necessary credentials. The server surfaces available integrations and their required parameters.

npx api-mega-list fails with package not found
Try installing globally first: 'npm install -g api-mega-list'. If the package is not published to npm, clone the repository directly and run 'node index.js' or check the repository's README for the correct run command.
Apify actor APIs return authentication errors
Apify actors require an Apify API token. Get your token from apify.com under Settings > Integrations > API tokens, and pass it as the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable or in the API request headers.
APIs return rate limit or quota errors
Most APIs in the collection have usage limits on free tiers. Check the provider's documentation for rate limits and upgrade to a paid plan if needed. Implement delays between bulk requests to avoid triggering throttling.
