Give your AI agents a real app store screenshot library
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients to the AppScreens archive — a curated set of top apps classified by layout pattern and ASO strategy, with full version history. Your agents research the App Store instead of guessing.

Stop making your agents guess at the App Store
Without the MCP
Agents doing ASO or competitive research scrape store pages, hallucinate screenshot layouts, and have no way to see how a listing looked last quarter. Every answer is a guess you have to verify by hand.
With the MCP
Agents call structured tools against a curated archive: search by category and strategy, fetch direct screenshot URLs, and pull historical snapshots. Grounded answers, real images, no scraping.
The tools
Five read-only tools your agent can call. Full reference in the MCP guide.
search_appsSearch and filter the archive by name, platform, category, layout pattern, and ASO strategy. Returns paginated app summaries.
get_appFull details for one app, including its current screenshots and video previews with direct, fetchable image URLs.
list_tagsList the layout and ASO-strategy tags you can filter by — the vocabulary AppScreens classifies every screenshot with.
list_categoriesList every app category in the archive, usable as a search filter.
get_app_historyHistorical screenshot snapshots for an app (Time Machine), newest first — see how a listing evolved over time.
Ask your agent
Once connected, prompts like these route straight to the archive:
- Find iOS finance apps that use social proof in their screenshots.
