AppLaunchFlow MCP

MCP server for AppLaunchFlow — create App Store & Google Play screenshots with AI.

Connect

AppLaunchFlow is a hosted MCP connector with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. No API key, local token, or scoped npm package name is required.

Codex

The shortest setup command configures the hosted connector and opens OAuth:

npx -y applaunchflow connect codex

Useful follow-up commands:

npx -y applaunchflow status
npx -y applaunchflow disconnect

The equivalent native Codex commands are:

codex mcp add applaunchflow --url https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/mcp
codex mcp login applaunchflow
codex mcp get applaunchflow
codex mcp remove applaunchflow

Claude Code

The same one-command setup is available for Claude Code. It replaces a legacy AppLaunchFlow entry when necessary, adds the hosted HTTP connector, and opens OAuth sign-in:

npx -y applaunchflow connect claude

The equivalent native Claude Code commands are:

claude mcp add --transport http applaunchflow https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/mcp
claude mcp login applaunchflow

ChatGPT

npx -y applaunchflow connect chatgpt

Paste the displayed URL when creating a custom MCP connector in ChatGPT. The same URL is also available at any time with npx -y applaunchflow url.

Other MCP clients

Use this Streamable HTTP endpoint and enable OAuth when prompted:

https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/mcp

Claude Code plugin

This repository is also a distributable Claude Code plugin. Its .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest bundles the hosted OAuth connector from .mcp.json, so users do not need to copy a server configuration manually.

To validate or try the plugin directly from a clone:

claude plugin validate . --strict
claude --plugin-dir .

Claude Code starts the hosted connector when the plugin is enabled and opens the AppLaunchFlow OAuth flow when authentication is required.

Hosted service

The public Streamable HTTP service uses OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow with PKCE through the AppLaunchFlow dashboard.

npm ci
npm run build
APPLAUNCHFLOW_BASE_URL=https://dashboard.applaunchflow.com \
APPLAUNCHFLOW_MCP_PUBLIC_URL=https://mcp.applaunchflow.com \
PORT=8787 \
npm run start:http

Public endpoints:

• MCP: https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/mcp
• Protected resource metadata: https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
• Health: https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/healthz

Official MCP Registry

AppLaunchFlow is published as io.github.ynnickw/applaunchflow in the official MCP Registry. The checked-in server.json is the canonical registry manifest and points clients to the hosted OAuth connector.

Registry publication runs automatically from GitHub Actions when the manifest changes on main. Keep the manifest version aligned with package.json; the test suite enforces this before publication.

APPLAUNCHFLOW_MCP_PUBLIC_URL may be either the origin or the full /mcp URL; both services normalize it to the same canonical resource URL. Set APPLAUNCHFLOW_MCP_PUBLIC_URL=https://mcp.applaunchflow.com/mcp and NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=https://dashboard.applaunchflow.com on the dashboard.

The included Dockerfile produces a non-root OCI image for the hosted server. The MCP host and dashboard must both be served through public HTTPS in production. Do not expose the Node process directly without a TLS-terminating platform or reverse proxy.

Personalized style workflow

Screenshot and social-graphics styles are prepared once for the selected app screenshots, then the chosen style is applied from cache. This lets users compare styles without paying for another AI call when they choose one.

For App Store screenshots:

1. list_source_screenshots
2. prepare_screenshot_styles with 3-7 ordered paths
3. The personalized gallery opens automatically. Compare each template's V1/V2 render and confirm the choice; the gallery creat
