Overview

AI-generated overview

GetAppNiche gives an AI assistant live App Store and Google Play data: app search, ASO keyword scoring, historical metrics, listing timelines and reviews.

What you can do
Search apps across App Store and Google Play with many filters, including store, category, language, price model, ratings, downloads and revenue, and list supported store countries for free. Retrieve one app's full record from a canonical id, Apple track id, Android package name or pasted store URL. Pull historical metric series for reviews, ratings, downloads and revenue. Read an app's listing change history, such as new versions, icon and screenshot redesigns, price changes and renames. Score keyword difficulty and opportunity, one keyword or up to ten in a batch. Read live store reviews for any app, or enriched reviews with sentiment and topics for apps tracked in the workspace.
When to use it
Useful for app market research, competitor tracking and App Store Optimization work: sizing niches, comparing apps by downloads or revenue, checking keyword opportunity, and reading user reviews or listing changes without leaving the assistant.
Requirements
A GetAppNiche API key, created in the account settings, sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header or as the GETAPPNICHE_API_KEY environment variable. The hosted endpoint is reachable over Streamable HTTP; clients that only speak stdio can run the npm package @getappniche/mcp with Node 18+, or the bundled Python script. A paid plan supplies credits.
Before you install
Every tool call except the country list spends credits (1 per app or review returned, 10 per keyword), so searches and batches can consume a plan's monthly allowance quickly. The API key is a secret and should be kept out of shared configuration files. The server forwards requests to a third-party hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Getappniche in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token 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.getappniche%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.

GetAppNiche MCP — App Store & Google Play intelligence for AI agents

The Model Context Protocol surface of GetAppNiche: live App Store & Google Play data — app discovery with revenue & download data, ASO keyword scoring, historical metrics and review feeds — for Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and any other MCP-capable agent.

You probably don't need to run anything. The server is hosted:

https://api.getappniche.com/mcp        Streamable HTTP · JSON-RPC 2.0Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY     app.getappniche.com → Settings → API Keys

Setup per client

Claude Code — one command, no restart:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http getappniche https://api.getappniche.com/mcp \  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "getappniche": {      "url": "https://api.getappniche.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }    }  }}

Claude Desktop — claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the app fully:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "getappniche": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@getappniche/mcp"],      "env": { "GETAPPNICHE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }    }  }}

VS Code (Copilot agent mode) — .vscode/mcp.json:

json
{  "servers": {    "getappniche": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://api.getappniche.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }    }  }}

Windsurf — ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (the field is serverUrl):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "getappniche": {      "serverUrl": "https://api.getappniche.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }    }  }}

Codex CLI — ~/.codex/config.toml, then export GETAPPNICHE_API_KEY:

toml
[mcp_servers.getappniche]url = "https://api.getappniche.com/mcp"bearer_token_env_var = "GETAPPNICHE_API_KEY"

Gemini CLI — ~/.gemini/settings.json (the field is httpUrl):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "getappniche": {      "httpUrl": "https://api.getappniche.com/mcp",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }    }  }}

Zed, Cline, Continue and JetBrains AI are covered too — getappniche.com/mcp has every snippet. Companion agent skills: getappniche-com/aso-skills (npx skills add getappniche-com/aso-skills).

ChatGPT — Settings → Connectors → create a custom connector (Developer mode), point it at https://api.getappniche.com/mcp and pick API key authentication, then paste your key.

claude.ai on the web documents request-header auth, but its connector UI currently exposes only OAuth fields — until that settles, use one of the clients above.

What's in this repo

A zero-dependency stdio bridge for clients that speak MCP over stdio and can't send HTTP headers — in two flavours: bin/cli.mjs (Node 18+, published as @getappniche/mcp) and server.py (Python 3.9+, stdlib only). Both forward every JSON-RPC message to the hosted endpoint over TLS and stream responses back.

bash
# Node — one-liner, no installGETAPPNICHE_API_KEY="getappniche_..." npx -y @getappniche/mcp
# Python — no dependenciesGETAPPNICHE_API_KEY="getappniche_..." python3 server.py

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "getappniche": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@getappniche/mcp"],      "env": { "GETAPPNICHE_API_KEY": "getappniche_..." }    }  }}

server.json is the manifest published to the official MCP registry as com.getappniche/mcp.

Being ~150 readable lines, it doubles as a reference for what travels over the wire: your API key goes only into the Authorization header of TLS requests to api.getappniche.com — nothing else, nowhere else.

Tools

  • search_apps - Search apps across 25+ filters: store, categories, languages, price model, rating, reviews, downloads, revenue, release and update recency, review growth - sorted by any column (1 credit per app returned, 50 a call by default, up to 100)
  • get_app_detail - Get one app by canonical id, bare Apple id, Android package name, or a pasted store URL (1 credit)
  • get_app_historicals - Metric time series: reviews, ratings, downloads, revenue (1 credit)
  • get_keyword_difficulty - Popularity, difficulty, traffic and opportunity for a keyword (10 credits)
  • batch_keyword_difficulty - Score up to 10 keywords, sorted by opportunity (10 credits per keyword)
  • get_app_reviews - Live App Store or Google Play reviews for any app by id, package name or URL, or enriched rows for apps monitored in your workspace (1 credit per review returned, 50 a call by default, up to 100)
  • get_supported_countries - List valid store country codes (free)

Credits ship with a GetAppNiche plan (Pro: 5,000/month) and every result reports credits_charged. Rate limit: 60 requests/minute per key.

Protocol notes

  • Methods: initialize → notifications/initialized → tools/list / tools/call. Protocol errors use standard JSON-RPC codes; tool-level errors (bad id, out of credits) come back as tool results your agent can read.
  • The bridge honours Mcp-Session-Id and accepts both JSON and SSE-framed responses.
  • OAuth for clients whose connector UI can't set headers (claude.ai web) is in progress; ChatGPT connects today with API-key auth.

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.
