Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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 app-store https://app-store.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Common questions

Is App Store Trends MCP 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?

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 (1.0.7) reached the registry 16 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?

No scraping. No 429 errors. No proxies.

If you have used pytrends or similar scrapers before, you know the problems: random 429 Too Many Requests blocks, broken pipelines at 2am, time.sleep() hacks, proxy rotation costs, and a library that is now archived because Google explicitly flags scrapers at the protocol level.

trendsmcp is the managed alternative. We run the data infrastructure. You call a REST endpoint.

Frequently asked questions

Does this scrape App Store? No. trendsmcp runs managed data infrastructure. Your Python code makes a single authenticated REST call. No scraping, no Selenium, no cookies, no proxies required.

Do I need a App Store developer account, OAuth token, or platform API key? No. One trendsmcp API key gives you access to all 30+ data sources.

Will it break when App Store changes its backend? No. API stability is our responsibility. If something changes upstream, we update the backend. Your code keeps working.

Can I query multiple platforms with the same key? Yes. One key covers every data source. Switch source to any of the 30+ values listed above.

Is there a free tier? Yes, 100 requests per month, no credit card required. Get your key at trendsmcp.ai.

Can I use this in production data pipelines? Yes. The client is stateless, thread-safe, and supports async for concurrent queries across multiple platforms.
