AppFollow MCP connector

Connect AppFollow to Elaichi and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or the Elaichi Agent can read app store reviews, reply to them, tag them, and track reply speed, all inside each person's own AppFollow access.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect AppFollow to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect AppFollow once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick AppFollow.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste an AppFollow API key. One person generates a token in AppFollow and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with AppFollow through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Support

    Reply to new one-star reviews

    Pull up the reviews that came in overnight, draft a reply in the right tone, and post it to AppFollow without leaving the conversation. Mark each review as handled once the reply goes out.

  • Product

    Read the week's review themes

    Ask for the AI summary of reviews on a given app and see which complaints and requests are growing. Check the semantic tags to find out whether sign-in, crashes, or pricing is driving the noise.

  • Engineering

    Link crash complaints to the bug tracker

    Find reviews that mention a crash or a broken screen, attach a bug tracker reference to each one in AppFollow, and add a note so the next person knows it is already being looked at.

  • Marketing

    Pull featured reviews for a launch

    List the featured reviews for an app and collect the quotable ones for a store page, a release note, or a social post.

  • Community

    Triage reviews after an update

    After a release, tag incoming reviews, set their status, and report the ones that break store rules so the backlog is clean before the weekly standup.

  • Operations

    Check reply speed across apps

    Ask how many reviews got a reply last month and how long it took, per app, then set up new apps, collections, and user accounts in AppFollow as the team grows.

Try asking

  • “Summarize this week's one-star reviews for our iOS app”
  • “Draft replies to unanswered reviews mentioning login problems”
  • “How fast did support reply to reviews last month?”

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule turns new reviews into a digest.

New AppFollow reviews are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, then posted back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect AppFollow to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, open the AppFollow connector and paste your AppFollow API key, which you copy from your AppFollow account settings; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in with your Elaichi account and AppFollow is available in the chat.

Does AppFollow work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once AppFollow is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect AppFollow once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my AppFollow data?

With AppFollow connected, an agent can list reviews for an app, read the AI summary and semantic tags for a period, draft and post replies, update tags, statuses, and notes, attach bug tracker references, and report reviews that break store rules. It can also tell you how many reviews got a reply and how quickly, and set up apps, collections, and users in AppFollow. Short, concrete asks such as "reply to the new two-star reviews on the Android app" work better than long instructions.

Does connecting AppFollow give the AI access to every app and collection?

No. Every call to AppFollow runs under the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the apps, collections, and reviews that person can already see in AppFollow. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what the person's own AppFollow account allows.

Can my team share one AppFollow connection?

Yes. One person connects AppFollow in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who replied to a review or changed a tag, not the person who set up the connection.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in AppFollow?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading AppFollow reviews and posting replies while blocking anything that deletes apps, collections, or users. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to an AppFollow connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to AppFollow through every client at once. If they had shared an AppFollow connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want AppFollow gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.

Does the AppFollow MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. AppFollow is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for AppFollow?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use AppFollow. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every AppFollow call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for AppFollow?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to AppFollow: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
