- 02Read and write project files
- 03Run builds and generate previews
- 04Manage schemas and row-level security
- 05Configure edge functions and secrets
Use cases
- 01Create an Apper app from a description
- 02Edit app files and run a build

MCP support
The remote MCP server exposes Apper development tools over Streamable HTTP. Clients authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and can create or search apps, edit files, run builds, and configure backend settings.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEApper MCP
The official Model Context Protocol connector for Apper.
Build and update complete applications in Apper from AI assistants. Describe what you want, then create, update, publish, and preview it — configure its database, security and permissions, and add server-side integrations, without setting up a separate development stack.
Connect
The connector is a remote MCP server. There is nothing to install or run locally.
https://mcp.apper.io/v1/connect
Transport is streamable-http, and authentication is OAuth 2.0 — your client opens a
browser to sign in to Apper on the first call.
For any MCP client that takes a JSON config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apper": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.apper.io/v1/connect"
}
}
}
Client setup
- Cursor — apperhq/apper-cursor
- ChatGPT — Apper for ChatGPT
- Claude Code — see the plugin below
Claude Code plugin
This repository also contains a Claude Code plugin that connects to the remote connector, so it can be added in one step rather than configured by hand.
See CLAUDE.md for the rules Claude follows when working with an Apper app — reading the instruction tools before generating, confirming before anything is published or deleted, and finishing the build before reporting success.
What you can do
The connector exposes tools for searching and creating apps, reading and writing project files, running and checking builds, generating previews, managing the backend schema and row-level security policies, and working with edge functions, environment keys, and secrets.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
