Overview

AI-generated overview

AppRankHero exposes your App Store and Google Play keyword rankings, keyword research and competitor data to an AI assistant.

What you can do
  • Check account, team, plan and limits, and list tracked apps across both stores
  • Read current ranks with 24h, 7d and 28d changes, rank history trends and daily, weekly or monthly reports
  • Research keywords by country with popularity and difficulty scores, and see which apps compete for a keyword
  • List tracked keywords with their status, and search the live App Store or Google Play to find an app's store id
  • Add apps or research projects, and start or stop tracking keywords for an app in a country
When to use it
Useful when you manage app store optimization and want to ask plain-language questions about your rankings, keyword opportunities and competitors without opening the Mac app. It fits teams already on an AppRankHero Pro or Studio plan.
Requirements
A paid AppRankHero Pro or Studio plan and its license key (starts with ARH-). The hosted server at apprankhero.com/mcp needs no install and signs in via OAuth or an Authorization Bearer header. The optional local stdio server needs Node.js 18 or later and the ARH_LICENSE_KEY environment variable, with optional ARH_TEAM_ID and ARH_API_BASE.
Before you install
The license key is a credential: it is pasted into OAuth pages, sent as a Bearer header, or stored in ARH_LICENSE_KEY, so keep it out of shared configs. Several tools change data (adding apps, tracking or untracking keywords); write access requires the owner or member role, and viewers are read only. Plan limits apply as in the Mac app, and your app and keyword data is sent to AppRankHero's hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AppRankHero in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.apprankhero%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

AppRankHero MCP server

Your AppRankHero keyword rankings for the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), inside ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client.

Ask in plain language:

  • "Which of my keywords dropped out of the top 10 this week?"
  • "Find popular, low difficulty keywords for a habit tracker in Germany."
  • "Who outranks me for 'focus timer' and what do they have in their title?"
  • "Track 'app blocker' and 'screen time' for my app in the US and UK."

Answers come live from your AppRankHero data, refreshed every morning.

Requirements

An AppRankHero Pro or Studio plan. Your license key starts with ARH- and is in the Mac app under Account. See plans and how to activate a key.

Hosted server (recommended)

Nothing to install. One URL for every client:

text
https://apprankhero.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, two ways to sign in:

  • OAuth. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity open an AppRankHero page where you paste your license key once.
  • Bearer header. Developer tools send Authorization: Bearer ARH-XXXX.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the URL, Connect.

ChatGPT

Settings, Apps, turn on Developer mode, Create, paste the URL, Authentication OAuth, Connect.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http apprankhero https://apprankhero.com/mcp \  --scope user --header "Authorization: Bearer ARH-XXXX"

Codex

bash
export ARH_TOKEN=ARH-XXXXcodex mcp add apprankhero --url https://apprankhero.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var ARH_TOKEN

Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and other JSON configs

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apprankhero": {      "url": "https://apprankhero.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ARH-XXXX" }    }  }}

VS Code uses "servers" instead of "mcpServers" and "type": "http". Step by step guides for every client: apprankhero.com/help/connect-ai-tools-mcp.

Local stdio server

For clients that only run local servers. Needs Node.js 18 or later.

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apprankhero": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "github:DedalDev/apprankhero-mcp"],      "env": { "ARH_LICENSE_KEY": "ARH-XXXX" }    }  }}

ARH_TEAM_IDnoTeam to act on when you belong to several (see arh_whoami)

Every tool carries MCP annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) so clients can ask before write calls. Write tools need the owner or member role; viewers are read only. Plan limits apply exactly as in the Mac app.

App Store and Google Play

  • platform is ios (App Store, default) or android (Google Play) on arh_search_store_apps, arh_add_app, arh_search_keywords and arh_competitors. Tracked apps already know their store.
  • store_id is the numeric App Store id (6772967892) or the package name (com.example.app).
  • Ranks are tracked within the top 200 on the App Store and the top 30 on Google Play. Rank 0 means not ranked in that range.
