Appie.run

Appie.run MCP server

Find Reddit threads and draft replies, track LinkedIn profiles and leads, write on-brand articles, run AI chatbots and create trackable short links from Cursor, Claude or any other Model Context Protocol client.

Appie.run is an AI marketing stack that learns your brand from your website. This hosted MCP server gives your AI client the same brand context, so the content and answers it produces sound like you.

Try it free

New Appie.run accounts get 500 free credits, no credit card needed. That's enough for about 5 light articles or 500 chatbot replies. Read tools never spend credits.

Quick start

1. Sign up at Appie.run and open your project.
2. Go to API in the project sidebar and generate a key (it starts with esk_). Only project admins can do this.
3. Add the server to your MCP client config:

{

"mcpServers": { "appie": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://appie.run/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APPIE_API_KEY" } } } }

The same config is in examples/mcp-config.json. Never commit a real key.

Grok Build plugin

This repo is also a Grok Build plugin. .mcp.json connects to https://appie.run/mcp and sends your key from the APPIE_API_KEY environment variable as a Bearer token. Set it before starting Grok:

export APPIE_API_KEY=esk_your_key

The plugin ships no code or hooks. It includes the five instruction-only agent skills in skills/ (see Agent Skills), which call the same MCP server. Its only network endpoint is https://appie.run/mcp, and its only credential is APPIE_API_KEY.

What you can do

• Find Reddit conversations worth joining. Save keywords and competitors, list matching Reddit threads, and draft a reply for any thread. Appie never posts to Reddit; you paste the reply yourself.
• Track LinkedIn profiles and leads. Add the LinkedIn profiles you want to track and list the leads, with email and phone when a lookup has found them.
• Write articles in your voice. Start a light (~500 words) or deeply researched (~3,000 words) article using an author profile trained on your writing samples, then check its status until the draft is ready.
• Manage brand context. Read and update the project Brain: your website, about text, brand voice, key messages, ideal customer and competitors.
• Build and query chatbots. Create a chatbot, train it on text, URLs, sitemaps or your Appie articles, and ask it questions.
• Create and track short links. Make links on s.appie.run and see clicks and unique visitors for the last 30 days.

Try asking your AI client

• "Write a light article on onboarding emails for SaaS in our brand voice, and tell me when it's done."
• "Create a support chatbot and train it on our sitemap."
• "Make a short link for our pricing page and show me last month's clicks."
• "Find Reddit threads where people ask for alternatives to our competitors, and draft a reply for the best one."
• "Track this LinkedIn profile and list the latest leads."

Tools

21 tools across short links, articles, the Brain, chatbots, Reddit and LinkedIn.

Every tool result includes credits_remaining. Writes spend the project's credits first, then the project owner's.

Permissions and errors

A key can only call tools for apps the person who generated it is allowed to use. Project owners can use every app. Regenerating a key revokes the old one immediately.
