Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for Chrome extension market data: search extensions, read trends, rankings, reviews and permission signals, with free previews and an API…

What you can do
  • Search and look up extensions by name, category, manifest metadata, permissions or host patterns, and fetch store metadata for one extension
  • Read user-count, rating and ranking history over time, plus saved leaderboards by date and category
  • Compare up to four extensions side by side on users, stars, versions and permissions
  • Read stored reviews, review statistics, star distribution and published AI review summaries, and search reviews across extensions
  • Inspect permission capabilities, permission changes and heuristic risk signals
  • Check the current API key's daily usage and remaining allowance
When to use it
Useful when you need to research the Chrome extension market: sizing competitors, tracking growth or ranking changes, comparing candidates before adopting an extension, or reading and searching user reviews. Free previews cover basic metadata and top-10 lists; a key is needed for reviews, comparisons, permissions and broader queries.
Requirements
A remote HTTP endpoint; nothing to install locally. Public discovery works without credentials. Full tools need an API key sent in the Authorization header as a Bearer token, obtained from the provider's site. Network access to the provider's endpoint is required.
Before you install
An API key is required for most tools and is sent in the Authorization header; keep it private and note that usage is metered by daily quota and account minute limits. Extension descriptions, source metadata and reviews are untrusted third-party data and should not be treated as instructions. Safety output is heuristic evidence, not a malware scan or guarantee, and rankings are the site's own, not official store positions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Chrome Extension Downloader in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.extensiondownloader%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

Tools

extension_get

Get collected store metadata for one extension, including users, ratings and version. Free without a key for basic metadata only; a key returns the full metadata record. Unknown IDs return not found, never trigger a crawl.

Parameterseidrequired

extension_rank_history

Track one extension's position in our overall and category user-count rankings. Returns per-scope history, not official store or keyword search positions. Untracked ranks may be missing.

Parameterseidrequireddays

extension_safety

Inspect permission capabilities, observed permission changes and heuristic store risk signals. Reports evidence and incomplete assessments; not a malware scan, malware probability or safety guarantee.

Parameterseidrequiredlocale

extension_compare

Compare up to four extensions side by side: users, stars, rating counts, versions, permissions and recent permission changes. For historical comparisons, call extension_trends for each ID; this is not code-similarity detection.

Parameterseidsrequired

extension_top

Browse extensions ranked by current users, average stars or store rating count. Free without a key for the first 10 by users only; omit arguments for that preview. Other sorts and pagination require a key.

ParameterspagesortpageSize

ParameterspagelimitrankDatescopeKeyscopeType

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
