In simple English
This tool lets your artificial intelligence assistant search for mobile phone applications and read their store pages. It looks up user reviews and pricing models for both Apple and Android stores. You can ask your assistant to find competing apps or suggest search terms for your own software. It costs nothing to run on your own computer, but you need Node.js installed to use it.
What it is
A bridge between AI clients and mobile app stores using the Model Context Protocol (an open standard that lets AI assistants securely talk to local data sources and tools). It wraps popular scrapers to return app details, reviews, and keyword suggestions directly inside your AI chat window.
What it is good for
Solo developers and marketers who want to research competitors or analyze user reviews by talking naturally to an AI assistant.
- Connects directly to AI assistants without extra paid subscriptions.
- Fetches real data from both Apple and Android app stores.
- Includes caching to speed up repeated searches.
- Requires Node.js installed on your machine.
- Some keyword difficulty scores are synthetic placeholders, not real market data.
- App stores can block scrapers if you make too many requests too quickly.
