Our review
Displays current Apify/mcpc session state and historical run costs.
Strengths
- Quick overview of connected MCP sessions
- Automatically sums total spending across all actor runs
- Zero manual setup required for cost tracking
Limitations
- Only works if mcpc and the cost log file are present
- The cost log file is only created after the first run with --json
Use this skill when you need to check the status of your Apify MCP connections or review the cost history of your actor runs.
Do not use it to set up new MCP sessions or to execute Apify actors directly.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only executes read-only Bash commands (mcpc, tail, awk) to display session status and cost history. No external network calls, no file modification, no destructive actions, and no sensitive data exfiltration.

Examples
Show me which mcpc sessions are active right now.What are my recent Apify costs and total spending?Give me the full Apify status including sessions and costs.name: apify-status description: "Shows current Apify/mcpc session state and run cost history. Use when the user asks about their Apify usage, mcpc session status, costs, or wants to see what actors were run recently." allowed-tools: Bash(mcpc *), Bash(tail *), Bash(awk *) argument-hint: "[sessions | costs | all]"
apify-status
Run the following commands and present the results to the user.
Sessions
Current mcpc sessions (shows which MCP servers are connected):
mcpc
Cost history
Recent actor runs (last 20 entries from cost log):
tail -n 20 ~/.apify-costs.log
Total spend across all logged runs:
awk -F'\t' '{match($0,/usd=([0-9.]+)/,a); sum+=a[1]} END{printf "Total: $%.4f USD\n", sum}' ~/.apify-costs.log
If either cost command fails (file not found), inform the user that cost tracking starts automatically once they run an actor with call-actor ... --json. No manual setup needed.
Notes
- Cost log:
~/.apify-costs.log— auto-populated by a PostToolUse hook on everycall-actor --jsoncall. Override path with$APIFY_COST_LOG. - Sessions: managed via
mcpc mcp.apify.com connect @apify. If sessions are missing, run the setup commands from the/apify-mcpcskill README.
