Common questions
Is Grovs safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

What is Grovs?
Grovs is an open-source, privacy-first growth platform for mobile apps — a self-hostable alternative to Branch.io and AppsFlyer. It provides:
- Deep Linking — one link that routes users to the right content across iOS, Android, and web. Deferred deep links survive the install flow so users land on the right screen on first open.
- Attribution — deterministic, first-party install and event attribution. No fingerprinting, no data sharing with ad networks.
- Revenue Analytics — in-app purchases, subscriptions, and custom revenue events matched back to the campaign that drove the install.
- Campaigns — group links, track performance, and compare results across channels.
EU-hosted, open-source SDKs, 20M+ daily active users in production. See the backend repo for self-hosting.
What is this MCP server?
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants manage your Grovs platform through natural language. Create deep links, check analytics, configure redirects, run campaigns — without leaving your editor.
Quick Start
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add grovs-io/mcp
/plugin install grovs@grovs
Installs the MCP server and skills that teach Claude how to use Grovs. On first use, a browser window opens for OAuth — no API keys needed.
Cursor
Open Settings > MCP and add a new server:
{
"mcpServers": { "grovs": { "url": "https://mcp.grovs.io/mcp" } } }
Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": { "grovs": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.grovs.io/mcp" } } }
VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": { "grovs": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.grovs.io/mcp" } } }
ChatGPT Desktop
Open Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server and enter:
https://mcp.grovs.io/mcp
Self-Hosted
If you're running your own Grovs backend, run the MCP server locally and point your client to it:
git clone https://github.com/grovs-io/mcp.git
cd mcp npm install && npm run build npm start
Or with Docker:
docker build -t grovs-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 grovs-mcp
Then use http://localhost:8080/mcp as the server URL in any of the client configs above.
All clients will trigger an OAuth flow on first use — a browser window opens to authenticate with your Grovs account.
