The Nova Integrations MCP Server is a production-ready Model Context Protocol server that seamlessly connects your Retell.ai voice agents to thousands of Apify Actors. Unlike static MCP servers, Nova Integrations dynamically loads your personalized actor configurations from your own Apify key-value stores, ensuring you only see the tools you actually need.

🎯 Perfect for Retell.ai Voice Agents

Transform your voice agents with powerful capabilities:

• Web Scraping: Extract data from any website during voice calls
• API Integrations: Connect to Google Calendar, CRMs, and business tools
• Data Processing: Analyze and transform data in real-time
• Automation: Trigger complex workflows from voice interactions

🚀 Quick Start for Retell.ai

Step 1: Get Your MCP Server URL

Your Nova Integrations MCP Server will be available at:

https://YOUR_USERNAME--nova-integrations-mcp-server.apify.actor

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Apify username.

Step 2: Configure Your Actors

1. Go to Apify Console Storage
2. Create a key-value store named: my-mcp-configs
3. Add a record with key: my-actors
4. Set the value as a JSON array of actor names:

[
"sambehnke/google-calendar-create-event",
"apify/web-scraper",
"apify/google-search-scraper"
]

Actor Format Requirements:

• Must use username/actor-name format
• Actors must exist in the Apify Store
• Use proper JSON array formatting

Step 3: Integrate with Retell.ai

1. Open your Retell.ai agent settings

2. Navigate to MCP/Functions section

3. Click "+ Add MCP"

4. Configure the connection:

   Option A: Token in URL (Simplest)

   MCP Server URL: https://YOUR_USERNAME--nova-integrations-mcp-server.apify.actor?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN

   Option B: Using Headers (Recommended)

   MCP Server URL: https://YOUR_USERNAME--nova-integrations-mcp-server.apify.actor
   Custom Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN

5. Get your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → Integrations

Step 4: Test Your Integration

Your configured actors will now be available as tools in your Retell.ai voice agent. Test by asking your agent to perform tasks like:

• "Create a calendar event for tomorrow at 2 PM"
• "Search Google for the latest AI news"
• "Extract contact information from this website"

🛠️ Managing Your Actor Configuration

Adding New Actors

1. Browse the Apify Store to find actors
2. Note the actor name in username/actor-name format
3. Edit your my-actors record in your my-mcp-configs key-value store
4. Add the new actor to your JSON array:

[
"sambehnke/google-calendar-create-event",
"apify/web-scraper",
"apify/instagram-scraper",
"new-username/new-actor-name"
]

5. Reconnect your Retell.ai agent to load the new configuration
