Install in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop currently requires a stdio bridge for remote MCP servers. Add this to your ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN> with your token. Restart Claude Desktop.

Install in Cursor

Cursor supports remote MCP servers natively. Two ways to connect:

Option A: OAuth (recommended, no token needed)

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api"
    }
  }
}

The first connection opens a browser to sign in to Apify.

Option B: Bearer token

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-maps": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/apple-maps-api",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

What it does

This MCP server lets Claude search Apple Maps for businesses. Apple Maps has unique data not available on Google Maps, including Apple's proprietary percentage-based ratings and aggregated reviews from Yelp and TripAdvisor in one place. Useful for B2B lead generation targeting iOS-heavy customer bases, restaurant and hospitality research, and competitive analysis where cross-platform review signals matter.

Example queries to try in Claude:

• "Find Italian restaurants in Brooklyn with high Apple Maps ratings"

• "Get me all hotels near Times Square with their aggregated review scores"

• "Find tech startups in San Francisco with offices in Apple Maps"
