MCP server for searching and downloading Android APKs from Google Play

*Ask your AI assistant to find or download any Android app — no Google account required*

<p> </p>

</div>

---

Connect your AI assistant to Google Play. Search for apps, inspect metadata, list available splits, or download APKs — all through natural conversation. Uses anonymous authentication via the Aurora Store token dispenser; no Google account needed.

1. Install

curl -sSL https://galimru.github.io/apkdl-mcp/install.sh | sh

Or download a binary from the releases page.

2. Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apkdl": {
      "command": "/path/to/apkdl-mcp"
    }
  }
}

On first run the server fetches an anonymous auth token and caches it to ~/.config/apkdl-mcp/. Subsequent starts reuse the cached token and only refresh when it expires (~50 minutes).

| Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | search_apps | Search Google Play by keyword — returns package names, titles, developers | | get_app_info | Get metadata for a specific app: version, developer, rating, Play Store URL | | list_splits | List available split APK names for an app | | download_apk | Download base APK, splits, and OBB files to a local directory |

Config file

~/.config/apkdl-mcp/config.json is created on first run with defaults:

{
  "default_arch": "arm64",
  "output_dir": ".",
  "dispenser_url": ""
}
