Connect Get Installed Apps to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides information about installed applications on your computer, support MacOS and Windows. The get installed apps mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Raycast — requires installing the MCP pluginCursor — https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol#configuring-mcp-serversSuccess — Text content containing JSON data of all installed applicationsFailure — Text content containing error informationInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Get Installed Apps's toolset — Raycast, Cursor, Success and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Xutaotaotao; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
