App Store Operator MCP Server

App Store competitive intelligence, inside Claude. App Store Operator is an MCP server that brings App Store research directly into your AI assistant. Instead of switching to a dashboard, you ask Claude for ranked keyword results, competitor download and revenue estimates, or App Store Connect-ready In-App Event copy - and get the answer in the same conversation where you are making the decision. Its 4 documented tools cluster into read & search, research, prepare.

People connecting e-commerce tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

03 · What App Store Operator can do

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can find the top 3 apps for a keyword and return a full metrics report for each, search the App Store for a keyword and return ranked results as a markdown table - instantly, no SensorTower required, and generate iOS App Store In-App Event (IAE) copy - 3 variations in the target language, then a final report.

SensorTower renders its dashboard client-side and changes its markup without notice; when it does, affected fields retur
