Public JSON API

GET /api/v1/apps returns paginated JSON with global Tranco traffic rank, 30-day growth, pricing, stack, and ratings. CORS-enabled for browser and server apps.

Remote MCP Server

POST /api/mcp implements the Model Context Protocol (Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC) with search_apps, get_app, and compare_apps tools for Cursor, Claude, and AI agents.

LLMs.txt Standard

GET /llms.txt serves a structured Markdown snapshot of Zivvi's top 25 popular apps, top 15 trending risers, all categories, and data reports for AI crawlers.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

search_apps — Search by keyword/need, category, AI build tool, or sort by popular / trending / cooling.
get_app — Inspect an app's global traffic rank, category standing, pricing, stack, and top 5 alternatives.
compare_apps — Side-by-side worldwide traffic and 30-day momentum comparison between any two apps.

API, MCP & AI Agent FAQ

Is the Zivvi public JSON API and MCP server free to use?

Yes. GET /api/v1/apps, POST /api/mcp, and GET /llms.txt are free, public, and CORS-enabled (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) with no API key required for reasonable request rates when canonical Zivvi attribution links (https://zivvi.app/apps/{slug}) are preserved.

How do I connect Zivvi's MCP server to Cursor, Claude, or an AI agent?

Add https://zivvi.app/api/mcp as a Streamable HTTP MCP server in your MCP configuration. It exposes three tools: search_apps (search and filter by traffic, 30d growth, category, or build tool), get_app (inspect an app's traffic rank, pricing, stack, and top alternatives), and compare_apps (compare two apps side-by-side).

What data does each app object in /api/v1/apps include?

Each item includes slug, name, tagline, description, url (canonical Zivvi profile), alternatives_url, website, pricing (free, freemium, paid, open_source), platforms, tags, built_with, web_rank (current global Tranco traffic rank), web_rank_30d_ago, traffic_change_30d (relative 30-day growth), rating, reviews, upvotes, and verified maker status.
