A unified MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Manage app listings, screenshots, releases, reviews and submissions — all from your AI assistant.

When to Use

Use this MCP when you need to:

• "Update my app's App Store description and keywords" — modify version localizations, app info localizations
• "Upload new screenshots for iPhone 16 Pro" — create screenshot sets and upload images
• "Submit a new version for review" — create version, assign build, set review info, submit
• "Check the status of my app review" — list versions and check review state
• "Respond to a user review on Google Play" — list reviews and reply
• "Create a phased release on Google Play" — create edit, create release on a track, commit
• "Manage TestFlight beta testers" — create groups, invite testers, manage access
• "Set up in-app purchases" — create and manage IAPs and subscription groups on both platforms
• "Register a new device for development" — manage devices, certificates, and provisioning profiles

Features

Apple App Store Connect (56 tools)

Google Play Console (35 tools)

¹ If google_list_reviews returns an empty array for an app that has visible reviews in Play Console, first check that the linked service account has the "Reply to reviews" account permission (Play Console → Users and permissions) — the API does not raise a distinct error for a missing permission, it just returns no results. Also note the endpoint only surfaces recent reviews; use pageToken to page through more.
