Get Started

Give your AI agent superpowers

Connect appkittie MCP and turn your AI assistant into an App Store intelligence expert.

Start Free View on GitHub

01Grab your API key from Settings → API Keys in your appkittie dashboard.
02Run the command below in your terminal.
03Start claude and run /mcp to confirm appkittie is connected.

terminal

claude mcp add appkittie --transport http https://mcp.appkittie.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

01Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server.
02Paste the config below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project).
03Check for the green status dot, then ask the agent anything.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appkittie": {
      "url": "https://mcp.appkittie.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

01Export your API key so Codex can read it as a bearer token.
02Add the server block to ~/.codex/config.toml.
03Start codex and run /mcp to verify the connection.

terminal

export APPKITTIE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.appkittie]
url = "https://mcp.appkittie.com"
bearer_token_env_var = "APPKITTIE_API_KEY"

01Open Claude.ai Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
02Enter the connector URL below.
03Open Advanced settings, choose OAuth, and use the fields below.
04When Claude asks to connect, click Connect.
05Approve the OAuth flow to finish.
Claude web does not let you paste a raw bearer token. Use your appkittie API key as the OAuth client secret.

connector url

oauth fields

Auth type: OAuth
Client ID: appkittie-claude
Client Secret: YOUR_API_KEY

01Open Claude Desktop Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
02Enter the connector URL below.

    "appkittie": {
      "source": "custom",
