An MCP server for searching the App Store, checking keyword rankings, analyzing competition, and tracking trends — powered by a native macOS binary for fast, direct access to App Store APIs.
Also works as a standalone CLI tool with rich output formats.
uvx appstore-mcp-server
This downloads the native binary on first run and starts the MCP server. No persistent installation needed.
pip install appstore-mcp-server
appstore-mcp-server
Download the latest release from GitHub Releases, extract, and run:
tar xzf appstore-*-macos-arm64.tar.gz
./appstore --mcp
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio -- appstore-mcp-server uvx appstore-mcp-server
Or with the binary directly:
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio -- appstore-mcp-server /path/to/appstore --mcp
Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"appstore-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["appstore-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
The server communicates over stdio using the standard MCP protocol. Run with --mcp flag:
/path/to/appstore --mcp
