Appllama MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps

OfficialRemote
Gethttps://mcp.appllama.io/mcpappllama/appllama-skills

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

low risk · 2 things to watch

Low risk

Every tool only reads from the Appllama library and your own boards, but each call spends a credit. Keep an eye on your monthly credits when you let an assistant research in depth.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • Bulk downloads break the terms

    Sweeping the catalog to copy the dataset is against the terms and is detected on the server. Use it for real tasks. github.com

  • Each call spends one credit

    Pro includes 1,500 credits a month, reset on the 1st. The credit check is free. github.com

Questions

Is this the official Appllama MCP server?

Yes. It is published by Appllama, and the server runs on Appllama's own domain.

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?

The README names Claude, Cursor and Codex as custom connectors, and says any MCP client can use it.

Can it change anything?

No. All 12 tools read from the library or from your boards.

What are the skills in the same repo?

The repo also holds agent skills, such as a usage guide for this server and an app design skill. They are installed separately and are optional.

Why do image links stop working?

Media links expire after about an hour. Ask the assistant to fetch the page again for fresh ones, and download what you study.
