MCP Server

Connect AI to App Store Data

AppTail’s MCP server lets AI assistants read your real App Store data — Apple’s own measured downloads and proceeds, keyword rankings, competitors, reviews and market charts — and act on your account.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that creates universal connections between AI applications and external data sources. Connect once — use everywhere.

ASO Data Your AI Can Read and Act On

Search apps, track keyword rankings, monitor competitors, and pull market data — all through natural language prompts.

What happened

explain_period

“What happened last month?” in one call — downloads and proceeds against the month before, the storefronts that moved, the keywords that fell and rose, every detected finding, and review volume

any date range vs previous vs year ago
get_signals

Rank moves, chart entries, review spikes, competitor releases and price changes — each with the two numbers behind it and the sentence that states the finding

severity needs action already emailed
get_account

Your apps, your plan and its limits, App Store Connect health per app, and the storefronts you focus on — the call an assistant should make first

plan limits connection health

Downloads & revenue requires App Store Connect

get_performance

Apple’s own measured impressions, product page views, downloads, sales and proceeds — for one app or the whole portfolio, split by storefront or by Apple’s own attribution

measured, not modelled search / browse / referral

These are the only download and revenue figures AppTail reports as fact, and they exist only for apps you have connected. Figures for anybody else’s app are a third-party model, and every tool that returns one says so.

Keyword research & rank tracking

get_keywords

Every question about tracked terms: where each ranked at the start and end of a window, how far it moved, its day-by-day history, the same terms measured for named competitors, and the daily top-1/3/10/30/50/100 counts. Sorted worst movement first

movement visibility head-to-head
get_keyword_serp

Who ranked for a term on a day you name, with names, subtitles and ratings — the “and why” half of a drop

any day crawled who took the places
discover_keywords

Terms you could be tracking and are not, from four sources at once — what your rivals rank for, what the store’s similar apps rank for, what the store’s own mining surfaced, and what your listing itself suggests when a model reads it cold

source per term popularity
add_keywords / remove_keywords / tag_keywords

Change what you track, in batches, with an outcome per item. Tagging is the one worth handing over: sorting four hundred terms into brand, generic and competitor is an afternoon by hand and one call here

writes dry run

Competitor analysis

get_competitors

The rivals tracked against one of your apps, and how many more your plan allows

plan headroom
add_competitors / remove_competitors

Track rivals by name, App Store URL or id — “add Fuelio and Drivvo” is one call, and the answer says what happened to each of them

writes by name

Any app in the store

search_apps

Find any App Store app by name in any language, bundle ID, or store URL — and import one we have never seen

any storefront
get_app

One app at the depth you ask for: the listing, and optionally its rating in every storefront and over time, the charts it ranks in, its organic reach, the publisher’s portfolio, release history and screenshots

ratings by market release cadence
get_reviews

Reviews over any window, filtered by storefront, star rating, text or whether the developer replied — with volume and rating trends beside them. Hand your assistant three hundred filtered reviews and it will find the themes itself

1–2★ only text search unanswered
get_top_charts

Top free, paid and grossing charts by storefront and category, marked with which entries are already yours or already tracked

chart position rating
add_app

Claim an app as one of your own. Crawling starts at once, so rankings, reviews and competitors follow within a day

Saved workflows

monthly_review

A full month in review for one app or the whole portfolio: the money, the movers, the findings, and what is worth doing next.

month? app?
weekly_standup

The week in five lines: what moved, what needs answering, and nothing I have already been emailed.

keyword_triage

Go through one app's tracked terms: what dropped and why, what is worth adding, and tag the corpus into brand, generic and competitor.

app country? period?
competitor_brief

What a rival has been doing: where they rank against you, what shipped, what their users are saying, and where they are beating you.

app competitor? period?
answer_reviews

Read one app's unanswered reviews, draft a reply to each in the reviewer's own language, and — after you have approved them — publish them to the App Store.

app rating? country? period?

Picked out of your assistant’s own prompt menu rather than typed. Each one is a sequence over the tools above, written out so the answer comes back in the same shape every time.
