Free App Store competitive intelligence for Claude — rival downloads, revenue, and ASO keywords.
If you already use App Store Operator, the app store operator mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Free App Store competitive intelligence for Claude — rival downloads, revenue, and ASO keywords.
App Store Operator is an MCP server that brings App Store research directly into your AI assistant.

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
research_rivals — Finds the top 3 apps for a keyword and returns a full metrics report for eachsearch_app_store — Searches the App Store for a keyword and returns ranked results as a markdown table — instantly, no SensorTower requiredget_app_details — Fetches SensorTower analytics for one or more app IDs you already haveprepare_iae — Generates iOS App Store In-App Event (IAE) copy — 3 variations in the target language, then a final reportConfiguration — Both settings are optional environment variables on the server processInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at app-store-operator on npm and it is fetched when the client starts.
