Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Study screens, flows and paywalls from top-earning iOS apps, then build from what wins.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Add2https://…3
https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http appllama https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appllama": {
      "url": "https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "appllama": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32417 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 31% of the other 32417 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Appllama 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 2 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?

A builder, not just a researcher.

Agent skills that make AI agents genuinely good at building mobile apps —

studied against the top-grossing apps, finished to a simulator-verified bar.

appllama.io · MCP · X · LinkedIn · Product Hunt


Appllama is the design library of top-grossing mobile apps — their real screens, flows, and UI patterns, with revenue and download context. These skills turn that library into an agent's working method: study every screen of the apps that already win, extract the category's design language, then build screens that hold up next to them.

The skills

SkillWhat it does
appllama-usageThe research engine: how to use the Appllama MCP like a design director — the full tool map, and the playbooks for building an app from scratch, improving an existing screen, and flow & element research.
appllama-app-design-skillThe build bar: native-feeling Expo / React Native screens — Apple HIG fidelity, semantic colors, native controls, anti-slop discipline, navigation that behaves (push vs replace, sheets and overlays, the one-way doors where back must not exist), a strict motion bar (should it animate at all, springs that carry the finger's velocity, nothing on the JS thread), generated image assets, and a full-motion simulator loop (whole flows recorded and scrubbed frame by frame, not screenshots).

They are designed as a pair: usage decides what to study, design decides how to build, and both insist the loop only ends in a simulator with a screen you can't fault.

Install

One command, from your project root — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 70+ other agents:

npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills

Variations:

# install for specific agents, no prompts

npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills -a claude-code -a cursor -y

install user-wide instead of per-project

npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills -g

Only want the app design skill?

appllama-app-design-skill stands on its own — the native-quality build bar, anti-slop discipline, and the full-motion simulator loop work with or without the Appllama MCP connected:

npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills --skill appllama-app-design-skill

(The same --skill flag installs only appllama-usage if you want just the research engine.)

Manual install

Skills are plain directories — copy them into your agent's skills folder (.claude/skills/ per project, ~/.claude/skills/ user-wide, or your harness's equivalent):

git clone https://github.com/appllama/appllama-skills

cp -r appllama-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Connect the Appllama MCP

appllama-usage runs on the Appllama MCP; appllama-app-design-skill is sharper with it connected. The endpoint:

https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp

Add it as a custom connector in Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP client and approve the connection with your Appllama account. MCP access is part of Pro; credits reset in full on the 1st of each month. Every call spends one credit — get_credits is always free.

Try it

With the MCP connected and the skills installed, ask your agent:

Build me a habit tracker. Study the top-grossing habit apps first and

don't stop until every screen survives the simulator comparison.

Make this screen better. *(paste a screenshot, code, or a "Copy Screen

ID" ref from appllama.io)*

How do the best fitness apps structure onboarding — how long, what does

each step earn, and where does the paywall sit?

Wire up the checkout flow. Decide which screens push, which present as

sheets, and make sure nobody can go back into the paywall after paying.

Review the animations in this app — what should be deleted, what's on the

wrong thread, what's missing velocity — and give me the plan.
