Uprate runs a hosted MCP server. Your AI agent can read reviews, ratings, listings and releases from App Store Connect and Google Play, draft and publish replies, change listing copy and submit releases. Both stores use the same server URL.

https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product

You sign in with your Uprate account. REST API keys don't work for MCP. Don't have an account yet? Join the waitlist on the MCP page.

Add Uprate to your client

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user uprate https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product

Then run claude mcp login uprate, or type /mcp inside Claude Code, and sign in.

Claude Desktop

Open Customize > Connectors, select + > Add custom connector, paste the URL and select Add. Leave Advanced settings empty. Then select Connect and sign in.

https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team or Enterprise, an owner adds Uprate in Organization settings > Connectors first.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uprate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor's built-in sign-in returns to a cursor:// address, which Uprate doesn't accept. mcp-remote signs you in through your browser instead. It needs Node.js.

Codex

Run this in your terminal:

codex mcp add uprate --url https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product

If sign-in doesn't open by itself, run codex mcp login uprate.

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "uprate": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.upratehq.com/mcp/product"
    }
  }
}

Select Start above the server and sign in.

Sign in and choose apps

When your client connects, Uprate opens a sign-in page. There you choose:

  • Apps: every app you can open now and later, or only the apps you select.
  • Access: Read only, Read and edit, or Read, edit and publish. Workspace settings adds team and billing actions, and only works when the connection can use all apps.

The connection uses the workspace you're in when you sign in, and only your own permissions on those apps. While you're in another workspace, the connection doesn't work. To see what the client can use, ask it to call get_context.

Approvals

Changes come back as an operation. When a change needs your approval, the agent shows the preview, the targets and how many items it affects, and your client asks you to approve it.

By default, these wait for your approval:

  • publishing review replies, with the exact text of each reply
  • changing live listing copy, which means Google Play listing text and App Store promotional text
  • submitting a release for review
  • generating more than one reply draft, because it uses credits

Some changes stay inside Uprate and don't ask: a private reply draft, release notes, your export compliance answer, App Store listing fields saved for your next release, and starting a release with an existing build. Nothing of that reaches the store until a step that needs approval sends it.

In Settings > MCP, Change approvals lets one connection approve replies, listing changes or releases by itself, up to 5, 20 or 100 a day, or without a limit. Team and billing changes have the same option when the connection has Workspace settings.

Disconnect

Open Settings > MCP, find the client under Connected clients and select Disconnect. It loses access to your apps right away. You can connect it again anytime.

For how Uprate stores your keys and what it does without asking, see Security and access.

Tools

Every tool marked Changes can ask for approval as described above. Store tools work with App Store Connect and Google Play wherever the app is on that store.

Workspace and other actions

Tool Access Stores What it does
get_context Reads — Your workspace, apps, tracked competitors, access and approval rules. Never returns credentials.
find_actions Reads — Searches Uprate's other actions and returns their exact inputs.
read_action Reads — Runs a read-only action found with find_actions.
run_action Changes — Runs another action found with find_actions, for example a first App Store release or a single-store update.

Approvals

Tool Access Stores What it does
get_operation Reads — The status of a change, its preview and what it affects.
approve_operation Changes — Approves a change after you saw its preview. Your client asks you first.
confirm_operation Changes — Rejects a pending change, or approves one that doesn't go through approve_operation.

Files

Tool Access Stores What it does
prepare_download Reads — A private download link for a review CSV, a screenshot export or icons. It expires after 10 minutes.
create_upload Changes — A single-use upload link for an image, PDF or text file up to 10 MB. It expires after 10 minutes.
get_upload Reads — Checks an upload link and returns the file ID that actions take.

What it doesn't do

  • Start a release from a new build file. prepare_release takes a build that's already in App Store Connect or on a Google Play track. A release from a new IPA or AAB starts on the Submission page in Uprate.
  • Take store keys in chat. get_context returns a secure link where you upload a .p8 key or a service-account JSON file in Uprate.
  • Ask the store live for every read. Reviews, ratings and listings come from data Uprate has already synced.
  • Act outside your access. The agent can't open apps you didn't select or do anything your role in the workspace doesn't allow. Paid features stay limited to your plan.

Uprate accepts up to 120 MCP requests a minute.

Try asking

  • "What are people complaining about since version 3.2?"
  • "Find 1 and 2 star reviews from the last 7 days in Germany that mention subscriptions."
  • "Draft replies to the unanswered negative reviews and show me the plan before you write them."
  • "Change the Google Play short description to: Track every brew in one tap."
  • "Which builds can I submit, and what's blocking the current release?"
