A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

An MCP server that gives AI assistants structured access to App Store Connect data. Built for ASO (App Store Optimization) analysis, download tracking, and performance monitoring.
The server returns agent-friendly JSON with natural-language summaries, pre-computed aggregations, and conversion rates — so an AI agent can interpret App Store data without needing domain-specific knowledge of Apple's raw report formats.
You need an App Store Connect API key. Create one at App Store Connect > Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API.

Ask your AI assistant:
"List my apps on App Store Connect"
List all apps in the account. Returns each app's id, name, bundleId, and sku. The returned id is used as appId in all other tools.
Parameters: limit (optional, default 50, max 200)
Get localized metadata: title, subtitle, keywords, description, and promotional text for all locales. Useful for ASO review.
Parameters: appId (required)
Get analytics data for an app across five categories:
| Category | Metrics |
|---|---|
APP_STORE_ENGAGEMENT | Impressions, page views, taps, conversion rates |
COMMERCE | Downloads by type, device, territory |
APP_USAGE | Sessions, active devices |
FRAMEWORK_USAGE | Framework adoption |
PERFORMANCE | Crashes, launch time |
Returns aggregated data per period by default, with totals and breakdowns by source/device/territory. For engagement, COMMERCE download data is automatically merged, including the conversion rate (Total Downloads / Unique Impressions) matching App Store Connect's definition exactly.
Set raw: true for granular per-territory/device/OS rows.
Always specify granularity (DAILY or MONTHLY). Without it, Apple mixes monthly and daily instances. MONTHLY covers completed months only; DAILY covers recent days. For a full picture, make two calls.
Parameters: appId (required), category (required), granularity (optional but recommended), startDate (optional), endDate (optional), raw (optional), limit (optional)
Download and parse sales/installs reports as structured JSON. Apple's raw TSV column names are mapped to readable camelCase keys. Each row includes a productTypeLabel with a human-readable description.
Parameters: reportType (required), reportSubType (required), frequency (required), vendorNumber (optional — falls back to ASC_VENDOR_NUMBER), reportDate (optional)
List app versions with their App Store state (READY_FOR_SALE, IN_REVIEW, etc.), creation date, and platform. Useful for correlating releases with metric changes.
Parameters: appId (required), limit (optional, default 10, max 50)
Get first-time download counts aggregated by period. Automatically uses daily granularity for ranges under 32 days, monthly otherwise. Only counts new installs (excludes updates, re-downloads, IAPs, and subscriptions).
Parameters: appId (required), startDate (optional), endDate (optional)
Get customer reviews and ratings for an app. Returns individual written reviews with aggregated statistics (average rating, star distribution), plus the official App Store rating from the iTunes Lookup API.
The App Store rating includes all ratings (silent star taps + written reviews) and varies by country — set storeCountry to get the rating for a specific market.
Parameters: appId (required), rating (optional, 1-5), territory (optional, 3-letter code like USA, FRA), sort (optional, default -createdDate), startDate (optional), endDate (optional), storeCountry (optional, 2-letter ISO code, default US), limit (optional, default 500, max 1000)
Analytics reports use Apple's asynchronous reporting flow. This is different from the other tools — it doesn't return data from a single API call.
The flow:
ONGOING analytics report request for your appFirst-time setup: The very first call for a given app creates the report request and returns a "pending" status. Apple needs time (typically a few hours, sometimes up to 24h) to generate the initial reports. Subsequent calls return data immediately.
Why it can be slow: Even after initial setup, fetching analytics involves multiple chained API calls. For large date ranges with many instances, this can take 10-30 seconds.
See Apple's Analytics Reports documentation for the full API reference.
All tools return JSON with an agent-friendly structure:
