+
+### Manual Installation
+
+You can manually install the Apify MCP Server in VS Code. First, click one of the install buttons at the top of this section for a one-click installation.
+
+Alternatively, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing `Ctrl + Shift + P` and typing `Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "inputs": [
+      {
+        "type": "promptString",
+        "id": "apify_token",
+        "description": "Apify API Token",
+        "password": true
+      }
+    ],
+    "servers": {
+      "actors-mcp-server": {
+        "command": "npx",
+        "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server"],
+        "env": {
+          "APIFY_TOKEN": "${input:apify_token}"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Optionally, you can add it to a file called `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
+
+```json
+{
+  "inputs": [
+    {
+      "type": "promptString",
+      "id": "apify_token",
+      "description": "Apify API Token",
+      "password": true
+    }
+  ],
+  "servers": {
+    "actors-mcp-server": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server"],
+      "env": {
+        "APIFY_TOKEN": "${input:apify_token}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you want to specify which Actors to load, you can add the `--actors` argument:
+
+```json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "actors-mcp-server": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
+        "--actors", "lukaskrivka/google-maps-with-contact-details,apify/instagram-scraper"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "APIFY_TOKEN": "${input:apify_token}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
