Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that gives an AI assistant live App Store and Google Play data, including app details, reviews, charts, revenue estimates and rank history.

What you can do
Search apps and fetch details for one or many apps across the App Store and Google Play, including in-app purchase prices and Android permissions and data safety info. Read user reviews and list store categories or keyword suggestions. Retrieve top charts and similar apps, and look up all apps from a developer. Estimate revenue and view rank history over time.
When to use it
Useful for app market research, competitor and pricing comparisons, ASO keyword work, or reviewing app feedback, when you want the assistant to pull current store data rather than rely on memory.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio via npx, so Node.js 18 or newer is needed. Requires a RapidAPI key supplied in the RAPIDAPI_KEY environment variable and an active subscription to the App Intel API on RapidAPI. Network access to the API is required.
Before you install
The RAPIDAPI_KEY is a secret passed in the environment; keep it out of shared config files and repositories. Usage is metered by your RapidAPI plan, so quota or rate limits can interrupt calls. Requests send your queries to the third-party App Intel API.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open App Intel in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

app-intel-mcp

MCP server for App Store & Google Play data (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, …), powered by the App Intel API on RapidAPI.

[Connect on RapidAPI]

Gives any MCP-capable AI client live App Store / Google Play data as tools: search_apps, get_app, get_apps, get_reviews, top_charts, list_categories, suggest_keywords, similar_apps, estimate_revenue, rank_history, developer_apps, android_permissions, android_data_safety.

Requirements: Node 18+ and your RAPIDAPI_KEY. The server runs locally over stdio via npx — nothing else to install.

Claude Code

bash
# add for the current project (stored in .mcp.json)claude mcp add app-intel -e RAPIDAPI_KEY=YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY -- npx -y app-intel-mcp
# or for all your projectsclaude mcp add --scope user app-intel -e RAPIDAPI_KEY=YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY -- npx -y app-intel-mcp
claude mcp list            # should show "app-intel: … - ✓ Connected"

Then just ask, e.g. "Use app-intel to find the top 10 grossing meditation apps on iOS in the UK and compare their subscription prices." Claude Code will call top_charts → get_app for you. Run /mcp inside Claude Code to see the server and its tools.

Equivalent .mcp.json (project root), if you prefer editing the file:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "app-intel": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "app-intel-mcp"],      "env": { "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY" }    }  }}

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config (opens claude_desktop_config.json) and add the same mcpServers block as above; restart Claude Desktop. The tools appear under the 🔌 / tools icon in the chat box.

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server (writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json), or put the block above in .cursor/mcp.json inside your project. Enable the server; the Agent will use the tools automatically.

Windsurf

Settings → Cascade → MCP servers → Add server → raw config, paste the same block (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json).

Other clients (Zed, Continue, Cline, VS Code Copilot, OpenAI Agents SDK, …)

Any client that supports stdio MCP servers works with: command npx, args ["-y", "app-intel-mcp"], env RAPIDAPI_KEY.

Troubleshooting

  • Error 401/403 from a tool → the key is missing/invalid or you're not subscribed: check RAPIDAPI_KEY and your subscription at https://rapidapi.com/kotuaigor/api/app-intel-api-app-store-google-play-data.
  • Error 429 → plan quota/rate limit reached — upgrade or wait.
  • Server doesn't start → make sure node --version is ≥ 18 and npx -y app-intel-mcp runs in a terminal (it waits for stdio input; Ctrl-C to exit).

50% of the applicable checks met

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.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
