# WebDataTools Developer, app & research data MCP server
`webdatatools-dev-mcp`

An MCP server with 39 developer, app & research data tools for AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline or any MCP client. npm/PyPI/Crates package health, GitHub repo health and trending, VS Code and Chrome Web Store extensions, Google Play and App Store apps, CrossRef DOIs, openFDA recalls, iCal feeds, Shopify products, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

**This server uses *your own* Apify API token.** Every tool call runs a [WebDataTools](https://apify.com/webdatatools) Actor under your Apify account and is billed to your Apify credit — pay per result, the price is in each tool description. Your token is only sent to Apify's API.

## Quick start

A3.8/5.0

Scored across 13 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Each tool targets a distinct data source or platform (npm/PyPI, GitHub, VS Code, Chrome, Google Play, App Store, CrossRef, openFDA, iCal, Shopify, Hacker News, GitHub trending, Stack Exchange). The only slight overlap is between github_repo_health and github_trending_scraper, but they serve different purposes (health metrics vs trending repos), so confusion is minimal.

Naming Consistency3/5

Names follow a general noun/action pattern but mix conventions: some use underscores (package_health_checker), some use camelCase-like concatenation (github_repo_health), and some are verb phrases (app_store_lookup). The inconsistency is noticeable but each name remains readable and descriptive.

Tool Count4/5

13 tools is a reasonable count for a multi-source data aggregation server. Each tool covers a distinct data source, so the set is well-scoped, though it could be considered slightly heavy if more sources are added without grouping.

Completeness4/5

The server covers a broad range of developer, app, and research data sources with read-only scraping/lookup operations. However, it lacks tools for write operations (e.g., posting to Hacker News, managing repositories) and some potential sources (e.g., Reddit, Product Hunt), but for a data retrieval server, the surface is fairly complete.
