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.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env for local development.
