Our reading of App, from the data

App is a browser automation MCP server from affandar.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It looks abandoned: the newest commit, release or package publish we found was 17 days ago (2026-10-01). For comparison, 67% of browser automation servers are active or maintained.

With 11 GitHub stars it ranks #239 of 1,199 browser automation servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.
