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.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Web & browsers
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

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

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http extensiondownloader https://extensiondownloader.com/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "extensiondownloader": {
      "url": "https://extensiondownloader.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "extensiondownloader": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://extensiondownloader.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • extension_search

    Find extensions by name, description or category name. Returns metadata and pagination, ordered by user count. Use returned IDs for detail and analysis tools; not Chrome Web Store keyword search positions.

  • extension_get

    Get collected store metadata for one extension, including users, ratings and version. Free without a key for basic metadata only; a key returns the full metadata record. Unknown IDs return not found, never trigger a crawl.

  • extension_trends

    Read one extension's user-count, store rating-count and average-star history with current metrics and deltas. Use for time-series analysis, not keyword ranks. Missing days are not zero values.

  • extension_rank_history

    Track one extension's position in our overall and category user-count rankings. Returns per-scope history, not official store or keyword search positions. Untracked ranks may be missing.

  • extension_safety

    Inspect permission capabilities, observed permission changes and heuristic store risk signals. Reports evidence and incomplete assessments; not a malware scan, malware probability or safety guarantee.

  • extension_compare

    Compare up to four extensions side by side: users, stars, rating counts, versions, permissions and recent permission changes. For historical comparisons, call extension_trends for each ID; this is not code-similarity detection.

  • extension_top

    Browse extensions ranked by current users, average stars or store rating count. Free without a key for the first 10 by users only; omit arguments for that preview. Other sorts and pagination require a key.

  • extension_trending

    Find growing extensions using saved 7/14/30/90-day user or rating-count growth rankings. Candidates have 1K-1M users and at least 500 net new users in the window. Free without a key for the first 10 by 30-day user gain; omit arguments for that preview. Missing comparison data is

  • extension_rankings

    Read our saved user-count leaderboard for one date, overall or within a category. Returns positions and pagination; not official store or keyword search ranks. Use extension_rank_history to follow one extension over time.

  • extension_review_summary

    Get an existing published AI summary of collected reviews, with pros and cons. Use extension_reviews for original comments. Returns null when unavailable and English when a translation is missing; never calls a model or generates a new summary.

  • extension_review_insights

    Read stored review statistics and star distribution for an extension, optionally by review language. These describe collected reviews, not all store ratings. Missing statistics return null; no refresh is triggered.

  • extension_review_history

    Read collected review counts grouped by original publication date and stars, plus version-level ratings and undated/unrated counts. Reconstructed from retained reviews, not historical store rating-count snapshots.

  • extension_reviews

    Read original stored reviews for one extension, with text, star and language filters combined using AND. Returns reviews and pagination. For cross-extension or OR queries, use extension_reviews_search.

  • extension_reviews_search

    Search original stored reviews across extensions with AND/OR field filters. Returns reviews and pagination. Example filter: {"field":"body","operator":"contains","value":"subscription"}. Use extensionEid to narrow to an extension.

  • extension_source_search

    Find extensions by Manifest metadata, permission names, host patterns, descriptions or archived source file paths. Returns metadata matches and snippets, not full-text JavaScript search, source downloads or code-similarity analysis.

  • extension_api_usage

    Read the current API key's daily REST/MCP usage and remaining key/account allowance. Requires a key, but remains available after its daily data quota is exhausted. Does not debit data quota; account minute limits still apply.

Common questions

Is Chrome Extension Downloader safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (1.0.2) reached the registry 7 days 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?

In the same category: Browser Use, Chrome DevTools MCP, MCP Server Browser
