AppGoblin just shipped an MCP connector — now your AI agents can query app intelligence directly

Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to AppGoblin's intelligence server and get app metadata, SDK profiles, keyword scores, and company market data — without copy-pasting from a browser.

AppGoblin just shipped an MCP connector — now your AI agents can query app intelligence directly

Your AI agent can now talk to AppGoblin directly

AppGoblin's public API launched three weeks ago and the response has been great — people are pulling app data into notebooks, dashboards, and internal tools.

But the next question came up immediately: "Can I give this to my AI agent?"

Starting today, yes. AppGoblin now speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the open standard that Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and a growing list of AI coding and research agents use to fetch live data.

You don't need a separate SDK, a custom plugin, or a webhook. You point your agent at a URL, hand it an API key, and it can query app intelligence as naturally as it reads a file.

What an MCP agent can actually do with AppGoblin

The server exposes eight tools across four areas. Here is what that looks like in practice.

1. App research on autopilot

Instead of opening a browser tab and typing a store ID into a search bar, you type this into Claude:

"What SDKs does Spotify use, and how many installs have they seen in the last 30 days?"

Claude calls get_app_basics and get_app_sdk_details against com.spotify.music, reads the JSON, and answers in natural language — permissions, ad SDKs, MAU estimates, install velocity, everything.

Concrete workflow: Have an agent audit your competitor's SDK stack every week and flag any new ad measurement SDKs. One prompt, zero manual clicks.

2. Rank monitoring across countries

Rank movement is noisy and hard to track by hand. The agent handles it:

"Check the best ranks for Canva on Android across all countries in the last 90 days."

get_app_best_ranks returns the peak rank per country per category. The agent can spot which markets Canva broke into the top 10 and summarize the shift.

Concrete workflow: Build a morning briefing agent that checks your app's best ranks across your top 10 countries and alerts you if any category rank drops below a threshold.

3. Company footprint tracking (paid tier)

If you are on a paid plan, the company tools are where the leverage is.

"What apps added Unity SDK last quarter, and which ones dropped it?"

get_company_app_changes returns the full store-ID lists for apps that added or removed a company's SDK. The agent can compare the list against your own CRM to surface churn risks or expansion opportunities.

Concrete workflow: Every quarter, have the agent pull the companies in your pipeline, check their SDK footprints via get_company_overview, and flag acquisition targets whose app counts are growing fast.

4. Keyword discovery and gap analysis

"What is the keyword difficulty for 'fitness tracker' on both platforms, and which apps rank highest?"

The agent gets get_keyword_metrics (difficulty, competition, opportunity score) and get_keyword_ranks (top-ranked apps) in one turn — then cross-references them against your own apps to find gaps.

Concrete workflow: Run a weekly keyword-gap report: feed your target keyword list to the agent, let it pull difficulty and top competitors, and have it write a prioritized list of keywords where your app could break the top 10 with the least competition.

Quick start — connect in 30 seconds

The endpoint:

https://appgoblin.info/api/v1/mcp

In Claude Code — add to your ~/.claude/servers.json or project MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appgoblin": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://appgoblin.info/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

In Cursor — go to Settings → MCP → Add Server, paste:

| Field | Value | |-------|-------| | URL | https://appgoblin.info/api/v1/mcp | | Header | Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY |

Or test with curl:

# Initialize a session
SESSION=$(curl -s -D - -o /dev/null \
  -X POST https://appgoblin.info/api/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}},"id":1}' \
  | grep -i 'mcp-session-id' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\r')

# List available tools
curl -s -X POST https://appgoblin.info/api/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "mcp-session-id: $SESSION" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/list","params":{},"id":1}'
