Mac App Store charts: an MCP database you can query from Claude Code or Cursor
Top Free and Top Paid for 20 Mac App Store regions, with price, developer size and whether an iOS version exists.
What you can ask
- How many of the top 100 paid Mac apps come from single-app developers, and what do they charge?
- Which utilities entered the paid chart recently?
- How many charted apps does this developer have?
These are example phrasings. Once connected, ask in plain language; the agent decides which table to query and how to filter.
Example: a real query and what it returned today
Your agent calls the MCP data tool like this (you never write it yourself — you just ask):
data(lib="macappstore", args="indie us --limit 8")
US Top Paid 100 split by developer size (number of charted apps per developer), first 4 rows:
| developer_size | n | ios_binary | median_price | median_rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 个 App | 31 | 8 | 9.99 | 38 |
| 2-3 个 | 31 | 11 | 7.99 | 47 |
| 4-10 个 | 23 | 9 | 14.99 | 56 |
| >10 个 | 15 | 4 | 10 | 67 |
How fresh the data is
This is today’s output of coverage (row counts and date ranges per table):
| real_days | first_date | last_date | storefronts | genres | slots_last_day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 2026-11-01 | 2026-11-11 | 20 | 21 | 148283 |
Limits: what this data cannot tell you
The Mac App Store is only part of Mac software; many indie Mac apps sell direct and never chart.
It is a remote MCP server: sign in with Google, paste one prompt and your agent configures itself, then ask in plain language inside your project. Free during beta: 200 queries a day, up to 50 rows each.

How do I query it from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex?
It is one library inside the Stringers remote MCP server. Sign in with Google at stringers.io/en/start.html to get a personal URL, paste the prompt to your agent and it configures itself; then just ask — the agent calls the data tool with lib "macappstore".
