Name: AppDex
Author: grnbtqdbyx-create

MCP server for iOS App Store revenue & download estimates — ask any app's numbers straight from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent.

Every figure ships with a confidence label (verified · calibrated · modeled) instead of a fake-precise single number, so an agent can tell the difference between a measured fact and an estimate.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Notes
`APPDEX_API_KEY`	—	Required. From https://app-dex.com/account
`APPDEX_API_URL`	`https://app-dex.com`	Override only for self-hosted/staging

APPINTEL_API_KEY / APPINTEL_API_URL are still read as fallbacks for older setups.

What the confidence labels mean

verified — reported figure from a real data layer, not modeled.
calibrated — modeled, but calibrated against verified panel data for that revenue class.
modeled — limited public signal; treat as directional, read the range not the midpoint.

Notes & limits

iOS App Store only. Figures are gross (before store commission) unless stated otherwise.
Estimates are recomputed nightly.
Single-app lookups by design — there is no bulk export endpoint.
Rate limits are per key, per day (Europe/Istanbul day boundary). The tools report your remaining quota.
