## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

> Apify-hosted **BODACC MCP server** giving AI agents access to 4.5 million French commercial court announcements — new business creations, M\&A, executive changes, insolvency procedures, liquidations.

### What is the BODACC MCP Server?

The **BODACC MCP Server** is an Apify actor implementing the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) for the [BODACC — Bulletin Officiel des Annonces Civiles et Commerciales](https://www.bodacc.fr/). BODACC is the official French commercial court bulletin, where every business creation, sale, M\&A, executive change, or insolvency procedure is published by law. This MCP server exposes 6 tools to query 4.5M+ announcements via natural-language commands from your AI agent.

Wire it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Continue.dev to give your agent live signal on the French business landscape — from new SaaS founders to companies in distress.

### Use cases

- **Distress / restructuring agents** — detect "procédure collective" filings the day they're published.
- **Lead-gen for B2B SaaS** — every new company creation is a fresh prospect; filter by city or NAF code.
- **M\&A intelligence bots** — track "Ventes et cessions" announcements to monitor French M\&A activity.
- **Commercial real-estate agents** — liquidations free up storefronts; this MCP server surfaces them daily.
- **Executive moves tracker** — monitor "Modifications dirigeants" for a target sector.

### Tools available

| Tool | What it returns |
| --- | --- |
| `search_announcements(query, family, days, limit)` | Free-text search with date + family filter |
| `announcements_by_siren(siren, limit)` | All BODACC events for one company |
| `companies_in_distress(days, department, limit)` | "Procédures collectives" — insolvency filings |
| `new_businesses(days, department, limit)` | "Créations" — new business registrations |
| `mergers_acquisitions(days, limit)` | "Ventes et cessions" — M\&A and sale announcements |
| `announcements_by_filter(...)` | Generic filter — any field, any combination |
| `list_tools` | Free — schema discovery |

### Input

```json
{
  "mode": "call_tool",
  "tool_name": "companies_in_distress",
  "arguments": { "days": 7, "department": "75", "limit": 25 }
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "id": "A2026B12345",
  "date": "2026-04-29",
  "type": "Avis initial",
  "family": "Procédures collectives",
  "company_or_person": "EXAMPLE SARL",
  "siren": "123456789",
  "department": "75",
  "department_name": "Paris",
  "details": "Ouverture d'une procédure de redressement judiciaire..."
}
```

### Pricing

**PAY_PER_EVENT — $0.01 per tool call** (= $10 per 1,000). The `list_tools` discovery call is free. No charge on errors.

### FAQ

**What's the latency on new BODACC entries?** BODACC is published daily (working days). Announcements typically appear in the open data feed within 24-48h of publication.

**Why MCP for BODACC?** A regular scraper gives you raw rows. An MCP server lets your AI agent ask `companies_in_distress in 75 over the last 7 days, group by NAF code` and chain queries. For one-shot bulk extraction without MCP, build your own with the [Pappers / Sirene Scraper](https://apify.com/dltik/pappers-sirene-scraper) for SIREN-keyed enrichment.

**Can I cross-reference SIREN with company details?** Yes — chain a BODACC `announcements_by_siren` call with the [Pappers MCP Server](https://apify.com/dltik/mcp-server-pappers) `get_company` tool. Two MCP servers, one agent.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
