Claude Desktop

Setup

1. 1

   Open your Claude Desktop config file

2. 2

   Easiest: open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the server URL, sign in and choose your organization (no API key needed)

3. 3

   Or create an API key under Workspace → API Keys and add the AppReviewMCP server block under mcpServers using mcp-remote with an Authorization: Bearer header

4. 4

   Restart Claude Desktop if you edited the config file

5. 5

   Ask in natural language — e.g. what are top complaints about your app on the US App Store?

Config snippet

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "appreviewmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.appreviewmcp.com/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ark_your_key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Create the API key under Workspace → API Keys. It is shown once and can be revoked at any time. Key names for remote servers differ slightly between clients; check the official docs below if your client rejects the snippet. Claude and ChatGPT can skip the key: add https://www.appreviewmcp.com/api/mcp as a custom connector and sign in instead. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
