appstore-intel-mcp

A remote MCP server that gives AI agents structured access to Google Play and the Apple App Store — search apps, fetch metadata, pull reviews. OAuth-protected, Streamable HTTP, deployable in minutes.

Status: early. v0.1 ships three tools. v0.2 adds review analysis, competitor discovery, and release-tracking webhooks.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
search_apps	Free-text search across a storefront, returns identifiers
get_app_metadata	Full listing for one app (title, version, rating, screenshots, …)
get_reviews	Paginated reviews, sortable by recency / rating / helpfulness

Quickstart (local)

git clone https://github.com/gautam84/appstore-intel-mcp
cd appstore-intel-mcp
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
cp .env.example .env             # leave API_KEYS empty for dev
python -m appstore_intel_mcp     # serves on http://localhost:8000/mcp

Connect from Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http appstore-intel http://localhost:8000/mcp

Deploy to Koyeb

koyeb secret create api_keys --value "$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
koyeb app create -f koyeb.yaml

Then in Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://<your-app>.koyeb.app/mcp and the bearer token.

All tool calls go through an in-memory TTL cache (cache.py) so the same app metadata isn't re-scraped every request.

Roadmap

• analyze_reviews — theme extraction + sentiment using a local embedding model
• compare_apps — side-by-side matrix
• find_competitors — category + embedding-based similarity
• Release/rating-drop webhooks
• Full OAuth 2.1 + PKCE flow for multi-tenant hosting
• Redis cache for horizontal scale
