# Claude

> Connect the Appeeky MCP server to Claude (Claude Desktop and Claude Code) and query live App Store & Google Play intelligence by chat.

Connect Appeeky to Claude once, then pull real-time App Store and Google Play intelligence straight into your conversations. Pick your Claude below — Desktop connects over **OAuth**, Claude Code connects with your **API key**.

```
MCP endpoint (OAuth):   https://mcp.appeeky.com
MCP endpoint (API key): https://mcp.appeeky.com/mcp
```

<Note>
  **Claude Desktop** uses OAuth — no API key needed. **Claude Code** and every other client use an API key. Get yours from [appeeky.com → Settings → API Key](https://appeeky.com) or the [API Dashboard](https://dashboard.appeeky.com).
</Note>

## Claude Desktop

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Connectors settings">
    In Claude Desktop, go to [Settings → Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors), or click the **Claude Desktop** button in **appeeky.com → Settings → API Key**, which copies the URL and opens the page for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Appeeky connector">
    Click **Add Connector** and paste the MCP URL:

    ```
    https://mcp.appeeky.com
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with Appeeky">
    Claude redirects you to sign in with your Appeeky account (Google, GitHub, or email). Approve the prompt and the Appeeky tools become available in every conversation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Claude Code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Appeeky MCP server">
    From your project root, register the server over HTTP with your API key:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    claude mcp add --transport http appeeky https://mcp.appeeky.com/mcp \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer apk_your_key_here"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
    claude mcp list
    ```

    You should see `appeeky` listed as connected.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Build with Appeeky

Ask Claude in plain language and it calls the right Appeeky tools:

```
Show me the top 10 apps for "meditation" and analyze their ratings and review counts.
```

```
Run a full ASO audit on Duolingo (id: 570060128). What's its score and what should they improve?
```

```
Compare keyword overlap between Headspace (id: 493145008) and Calm (id: 571800810).
What keywords is Calm ranking for that Headspace is missing?
```

See the full [tool reference](/docs/mcp#available-tools) for everything Appeeky exposes.

## Troubleshooting

* **Tools missing or "not connected"** — re-add the connector (Desktop) or run `claude mcp list` to confirm the server registered (Claude Code).
* **401 / "authentication required"** — your API key is missing or invalid. Regenerate it at [appeeky.com → Settings → API Key](https://appeeky.com) and update the `Authorization` header. Claude Desktop users should re-authorize the connector.
* **429 / "rate limit"** — you hit a plan or burst limit. See [Rate Limits](/docs/rate-limits).
