MCP Server

Plug AppStorePulse into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI. Your keyword rankings, reviews intelligence, competitor changes, and niche data become tools the AI can use mid-conversation — “what do users complain about in my competitor's reviews?” becomes a question, not a research project.

Connect from claude.ai or Claude Desktop

No API key needed — you sign in with your normal AppStorePulse account (Pro plan).

  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
  2. Name it AppStorePulse and paste the URL: https://www.appstorepulse.com/api/mcp
  3. Click Connect and sign in with your AppStorePulse account

Connect from Claude Code

Uses an API key — create one under Settings → API keys.

claude mcp add --transport http appstorepulse \
  https://www.appstorepulse.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_your_key"

Connect from Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

Add this to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appstorepulse": {
      "url": "https://www.appstorepulse.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ak_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}
