Appllama MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps
Lets Claude or Cursor study real screens, flows and paywalls from top-earning iOS apps, then build from what they learn.
This is the hosted server from Appllama, a library of screens from top-grossing mobile apps. It lets your assistant search apps, walk through their screens in order, and compare flows such as onboarding and paywalls. You sign in with your Appllama account, and access is part of the Pro plan. Each call except the credit check costs one credit.
Good for
- App designers and founders who want proven onboarding and paywall patterns
- Developers who want the assistant to research real apps before building a screen
- Teams who keep curated boards of reference screens on appllama.io

What is the Appllama MCP server URL?
https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp. Add it as a custom connector and approve it with your Appllama account.
Is it free?
No. MCP access is part of the Pro plan, which includes 1,500 credits a month. Each call costs one credit, and the credit check is free.
Which apps does it work with?
