Applyra

@applyra/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Applyra. It connects your App Store and Google Play keyword data to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, VS Code Copilot, and more.

30 tools covering keyword rank tracking, difficulty and traffic scoring, listing audits and metadata simulation, competitor visibility, notes on your charts and what followed each one, autocomplete mining, niche clustering, and top charts, on the App Store and Google Play.

Remote server (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Cursor)

The same tools are hosted at https://www.applyra.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth). Nothing to install and no API key: the client opens an Applyra sign-in page, you approve it, and it is connected. It works with any Applyra account: the free plan includes 50 requests a month (each tool call is one request) on 1 app, 5 keywords and 1 competitor. Plan details are at applyra.io/pricing.

• ChatGPT: on chatgpt.com, Plugins > Add > Create custom MCP server, with this URL and OAuth authentication, then Create as a plugin. Read and write tools both work on a ChatGPT Plus plan.
• Claude: add it from the Claude directory in one click (on the web, desktop, mobile and in Claude Code), or as a custom connector with this URL (Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector).
• Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/applyra-io/mcp-server, then sign in when Gemini CLI asks.
• VS Code, Cursor, Perplexity, Smithery and any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth: add this URL as a remote (HTTP) server.

Connected assistants are listed, and can be disconnected, at applyra.io/dashboard/mcp.

Prerequisites (local server)

• Node.js 20 or later
• An Applyra account, free plan included (50 requests a month, see applyra.io/pricing)
• An API key, generated at applyra.io/dashboard/api

    "applyra": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@applyra/mcp-server"],
      "env": {

      }
    }
  }
}
