90+ new ChatGPT Apps in 10 days. Here's the how to get intelligence on them

Hey builders,

Greetings from New York City!

Dropping you a message as the MCP app ecosystem just had its biggest week ever.

Over 90 new apps have gone live in the last 10 days - 48 in the last week alone. March 25th saw 31 apps launch in a single day. The growth curve just went vertical.

And these aren't small players. Look at the brands that just showed up:

🟢 Starbucks · Walmart · Burger King · Dropbox · Notion
🟢 Shutterstock · DraftKings · Maersk · SIXT · Wyndham Hotels
🟢 Trainline · SeatGeek · H&R Block · Realtor.com · Razorpay
🟢 Tim Hortons · Popeyes · Thomas Cook · Kelley Blue Book
🟢 Hostinger · Box · Firehouse Subs · Foxit · Read AI

The enterprise floodgates are open. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, VS Code - they all accept MCP apps now. That's 1.5 billion+ users across consumer and enterprise. And the biggest brands in the world are racing to get in.

But here's the problem: how do you actually keep track of all of this? How do you gather intelligence on who's launching, what's working, and where the opportunities are?

So today, I wanted to tell you more about MCP App Intelligence.

A platform we built to help with exactly this.

Oh and we’re speaking at MCP Dev Summit tomorrow which is fun! More on that below.

I just landed in New York for it - if you’re here and want to grab a coffee, drop a reply here and we can arrange!

Let’s dive it.

🚀 Introducing MCP App Intelligence

MCP App Tracker is the first intelligence platform for ChatGPT Apps and Claude Connectors - and it's free.

Full overview here:

We maintain the world's largest MCP app dataset. We've been tracking since five days after the ChatGPT App Store launched. Every app, every change, every category shift - all of it.

Right now: 389 ChatGPT apps and 228 Claude connectors tracked across 5 regions, with Cursor and Microsoft Copilot being added as we speak.

Here's what's inside:

📊 Overview Dashboard
Top-level stats across the ecosystem - total apps, growth over time, apps going live per week, and a full category breakdown. See at a glance how the market is evolving and which categories are most competitive.

📰 Latest Apps Feed
Every app and connector tracked as it goes live, updated daily. Want to know what launched yesterday? Last week? Scroll back through the full history. Search by name, filter by platform.

🔍 Keyword Rankings
We track 100+ keywords and show you which apps rank first for each one across different geographies. Think SEO rankings, but for AI app stores. This is the clearest signal of how discoverable your app actually is right now.

📂 Categories
Full breakdown of every category — how many apps, which are most competitive, and how ChatGPT and Claude differ. Claude skews heavily toward productivity and enterprise. ChatGPT is broader across consumer.

🔧 Tool Explorer
The gold mine. See exactly how apps structure their tools — number of tools, descriptions, patterns, even negative prompting techniques. Filter by category to see what your direct competitors are doing. Over 50% of apps launch with just one tool — companies are going simple on purpose.

📈 App Store Visibility Score
A proprietary score showing how visible your app is in the ChatGPT App Store. Keyword visibility, listing clarity, and your position in the leaderboard. Full methodology published so you know exactly how it's calculated.

🔄 Cross-Platform Comparison
See which companies have launched across both ChatGPT and Claude. 82 apps have gone cross-platform so far — and growing fast as MCP becomes the standard.

📜 App History
Every change an app makes — description updates, image swaps, tool modifications — tracked over time. Competitive intelligence at the most granular level.

🏷️ Track Your Watchlist
Log in and save apps you care about. Track competitors, category leaders, or anything you want to monitor. Email notifications coming soon so you'll know the moment something changes.

Importantly (and people love this feature), you can get daily or weekly emails when new apps go live in both ChatGPT and Claude. Sign up here by clicking on the ‘Join Newsletter’ in the sidebar:

Why this matters right now

There is no organic discovery of ChatGPT apps yet. The only way your app gets found is through the app store. Your visibility score is a direct correlation to whether anyone ever uses what you built.

This is the static discovery layer - understanding how your app appears in app stores. And it's just the beginning.

At AppDiscoverability, we're building the full AI Discoverability Stack - both static discovery (app store visibility) and dynamic discovery (how AI naturally chooses your app in alignment with user intent). MCP App Tracker gives you the data foundation. What comes next helps you actually improve performance, increase discoverability, and win your category.

🎤 Speaking at MCP Dev Summit tomorrow

Ghost Team is giving two talks at MCP Dev Summit by the Linux Foundation in New York tomorrow! 🗽

Vincent McLeese and I will be giving two talks at MCP Developers Summit in New York on April 2nd!

1. 12:50 - Building ChatGPT Apps: Principles for a New Kind of Interface

2. 17:30 - If the LLM Can't Find You, You Don't Exist

Vincent McLeese and I have a ton of insights to share from building ChatGPT Apps and MCP Apps for enterprises and from our platform appdiscoversbility.com, that’s focused on getting MCP Apps discovered.

I read every reply - if you've got a live app and want to know how it's performing, just reply with the name and I'll send you a breakdown.

Happy building,

Elliot
