Integration with Claude Desktop

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop, add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration:

Cache Management

The server maintains a cache in the .cache directory to minimize API requests:

• Cache entries expire after 30 days
• Cache is automatically created on first run
• Invalid or expired entries are automatically removed

Error Handling

• Rate Limiting (429): The server will return an error message if rate limited by Sensor Tower
• Invalid App IDs: Returns an error for each app ID not found
• Network Errors: Gracefully handles connection issues
