First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `ap_search` (~173 tokens)

Search apps

Search Cafe Bazaar and/or Myket for apps and games by name; returns package names, ratings and store URLs.

Use first to find a package name, then ap_app for details or ap_compare for both stores. Bazaar cards carry
rating, category, approximate installs and a price when paid; Myket cards only name and tagline (ap_app has the rest).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max apps returned per store.
- `page` (integer): 1-based result page (Bazaar 24 per page, Myket 20).
- `query` (string, required): Search text, Persian or English, e.g. 'تاکسی' or 'snapp'.
- `store` (string): 'bazaar' (Cafe Bazaar), 'myket' or 'both' (default, results side by side).

### `ap_app` (~158 tokens)

App details

Get one app's metadata from one store: version, rating and rating count, installs, size, update date, developer, price, description.

Bazaar also gives version_code, a 1-5 star histogram, changelog and permission count; Myket also the first publish
date and developer_id. installs is approximate (a rounded range). Prices are Toman, 0 = free. Metadata only: no
APK download. To see both stores at once use ap_compare.

Input parameters:

- `package` (string, required): Android package name, the id in store URLs, e.g. 'ir.mci.ecareapp' or 'com.whatsapp'.
- `store` (string): 'bazaar' (Cafe Bazaar) or 'myket'.

### `ap_compare` (~133 tokens)

Compare stores

Compare one package across Cafe Bazaar and Myket: version, rating, rating count, installs, size, update date, price.

Returns each store's figures (null when the app is not listed there) and a diff: which store has the newer
version, the rating difference (bazaar minus myket). Use for "is the app up to date on Myket?" or "which store
rates it higher". Ratings are not shared between stores.

Input parameters:

- `package` (string, required): Android package name, the id in store URLs, e.g. 'ir.mci.ecareapp' or 'com.whatsapp'.

### `ap_top` (~234 tokens)

Top and new apps

List the top ('best') or newest ('new') apps or games of a store, per category or store-wide.

Store-wide 'best' is Bazaar's trending list or Myket's editorial must-have list (no ranking guarantee). 'new' needs a
category. Get slugs from ap_categories (they differ per store). Then ap_app or ap_compare on a package.

Input parameters:

- `category`: Category slug from ap_categories, e.g. 'tools' (Bazaar) or 'productivity' (Myket). Omit for the store-wide list (best only).
- `kind` (string): 'best' = top ranked, 'new' = newest in the category.
- `limit` (integer): Max apps returned.
- `page` (integer): 1-based page (Bazaar 24 per page, Myket 20, Myket stops after about 4 pages).
- `store` (string, required): 'bazaar' or 'myket'.
- `type` (string): 'app' or 'game': which category list the slug belongs to, and which store-wide list when no category.

### `ap_categories` (~89 tokens)

Categories

List the category slugs of a store for apps and games, to pass as ap_top category.

Slugs differ between the stores (Bazaar 'tools' = Myket 'productivity'). Myket names are Persian. The Bazaar game
list is the set that was verified to return results, not necessarily every game category.

Input parameters:

- `store` (string, required): 'bazaar' or 'myket'.

### `ap_similar` (~105 tokens)

Related apps

List apps the store shows as related to one app: Bazaar gives three groups (related, others also installed, similar), Myket one.

Use to find alternatives or competitors of an app; then ap_compare or ap_app on a result.

Input parameters:

- `package` (string, required): Android package name, the id in store URLs, e.g. 'ir.mci.ecareapp' or 'com.whatsapp'.
- `store` (string): 'bazaar' or 'myket'.

## Common questions

### What is the Iran Apps MCP server?

Iran Apps is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sepehr071/iran-apps-mcp. Unofficial read-only Cafe Bazaar and Myket: search apps, compare versions and ratings, top lists. This page covers its PyPI package (iran-apps-mcp).

### Is the Iran Apps MCP server safe to use?

Iran Apps scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 23 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Iran Apps MCP server expose?

Iran Apps exposes 6 tools: ap_search, ap_app, ap_compare, ap_top, ap_categories, ap_similar. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 892 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Iran Apps MCP server still maintained?

Iran Apps is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Iran Apps MCP server under?

Iran Apps declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
