# Use OpenApps in Cursor

OpenApps adds live AI app store charts to Cursor: the top Cursor Marketplace plugins and MCP servers, who launched this week, who got featured and where any app ranks across six AI app stores. It works without signing in.

## Add it

Add the MCP server in Cursor, with the link or by hand:

1. Cursor Settings › MCP › Add new MCP server
2. Name: openapps
3. URL: https://theopenapps.com/mcp/cursor

Add to Cursor: cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=openapps&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RoZW9wZW5hcHBzLmNvbS9tY3AvY3Vyc29yIn0=

Or merge this into ~/.cursor/mcp.json: { "mcpServers": { "openapps": { "url": "https://theopenapps.com/mcp/cursor" } } }. Cursor Settings › MCP shows openapps with its tools.

## Try asking

- Which Cursor plugins are new this month, and which are climbing?
- I'm building a Cursor plugin for database migrations. Which plugins already do this, and how do they rank?
- Where does my plugin rank in the Cursor Marketplace and in Grok Bot?

## Questions

### Is OpenApps in the Cursor store?

Not yet. Until it is listed, add it by hand with the steps on this page. The tools are the same ones the listing will have.

### Do I need an OpenApps account?

No. Every tool answers without signing in, for the United States and the top 200 apps of each list. Signing in to an OpenApps account adds every country.

### Does it cover Grok Bot?

Yes. Grok Bot lists the plugins of Cursor's marketplace in its own order, and OpenApps charts both. [Grok Bot charts](https://theopenapps.com/grokbot)
