The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • get_keywords unknown never probed

    The account's tracked keywords for an app — or across the whole portfolio — over any window: where each term ranked at the start and end, how far it moved, how many days it held and how many days it was measured, and optionally its day-by-day history, the same terms measured for named competitors, the daily top-1/3/10/30/50/100 counts, and the terms two of your own apps are both on. Sorted worst movement first by default, so "what dropped" is at the top of a 300-term corpus — which also makes the returned rows a selection rather than a sample: `movers` and `coverage` are counted over the whole corpus and are what a summary comes from. Filter by `contains` to ask about one term by name. This is the tool for every question about tracked terms; it replaces get_tracked_keywords, get_keyword_positions and compare_keyword_positions.

  • get_keyword_serp unknown never probed

    The App Store search results for one term in one storefront, on one day: who ranked, in what order, with their names, subtitles and ratings. This is how you find out WHO took the places an app lost — a rank that fell is a fact, and the results page on the day it fell is the reason. Works for ANY term in the store, tracked or not, known to us or not: pass `keyword_id` for a term you already have an id for, or `keyword` + `country` for words a user typed, which resolves the term and crawls the storefront live when what we hold is over a day old. Omit the date for the most recent crawl. A lookup can persist a new shared keyword record and queue a background crawl that updates stored search observations. It does not track the keyword for your account.

  • get_signals unknown never probed

    What actually happened, from the record the product keeps: rank moves on tracked terms, chart entries, review spikes, competitor releases and price changes, plus — for the user's own apps only — week-over-week traffic and conversion shifts, download collapses, new reviews and rating moves. Each carries the two numbers behind it and the sentence that states the finding. This is a stored table read, not a reconstruction, so it is both cheaper and more reliable than diffing rank histories yourself. Covers the user's own apps and the competitors tracked under them; a rival's finding never `asks_action`.

  • search_apps unknown never probed

    Search for iOS apps by name, bundle ID, or App Store URL. Supports all languages including Cyrillic, Chinese, etc. If the app is not in our database, it will be fetched from the App Store, persisted as a shared public app record, and queued for enrichment. This does not add the app to your account or competitor watchlist. Auto-detects the likely App Store region from the query language (e.g. Cyrillic → Russia, Chinese → China). To add what you find, add_competitors and add_app take the same name or URL directly — you do not have to look up an app_id first.

  • get_app unknown never probed

    Everything AppTail holds about one app, at the depth you ask for. The base answer is the store listing **in one storefront** — the localised title and subtitle a shopper in `country` actually reads, the price and its currency, version, category, release dates, the publisher's ids. `include` adds sections: `prices` (what it costs in every storefront), `ratings` (every storefront's rating and vote count, pooled honestly, plus a daily series and per-storefront movement with `history_days`), `charts` (the charts it currently ranks in), `popularity` (organic reach), `developer` (the publisher and its portfolio), `versions` (release cadence) and `screenshots`. Works for ANY app in the store, not only the user's own. It does NOT return impressions, downloads or revenue — get_performance does, and only for the user's own connected apps.

  • discover_keywords unknown never probed

    Terms an app could be tracking but is not, merged from every source and each labelled with where it came from: what tracked competitors rank for, what the store's similar apps rank for, what those competitors put in their own titles and subtitles, what the store's own mining surfaced, and — reading the listing cold — what the app's own title, subtitle and description suggest. The last is the only source that works on an app added minutes ago; `listing` is the only one that can surface a phrase nobody has ranked for yet, and it offers a phrase only when two or more rivals publish it and Apple reports somebody searching it. Pass `contains` to also match terms already in AppTail's database. Already-tracked and already-dismissed terms are never returned. This is a list of candidates, not a measure of coverage: for how much of a niche's vocabulary the account is missing, and which holes matter most, call get_landscape and read `term_gap`. Discovery can persist shared suggested keyword records, cache generated suggestions, and queue background popularity collection. It does not add those terms to account tracking.

  • add_keywords unknown never probed

    Start tracking search terms for one of your apps, in one storefront. Send terms, or `keyword_ids` for suggestions returned by discover_keywords — a suggestion MUST be added by id, because re-resolving its term can land on a different keyword row. Counts against the plan's per-app keyword limit; `dry_run` reports what would happen without writing anything. Terms already in the corpus come back under `already_tracked` rather than as an error — that is the state the caller asked for.

Works on an app with no keywords: its listing is read for terms and the store is crawled for them. Read `suggested_basis.terms_pending` before calling a short list complete. Suggestions can persist shared keyword records and queue background crawls. Suggested apps are not added to your competitor watchlist.

Remove for a term that does not belong: ANY term can go, and one the heuristic found is also kept out of future rebuilds rather than returning within 72 hours. This is NOT `save_market`: seeds are what the corpus is expanded FROM and changing one re-runs the whole heuristic over that storefront, where these two writes act on single terms in the result.

  • remove_market unknown never probed

    Delete a saved market, or just one of its storefronts. Pass `store` to drop a single storefront and leave the rest of the market with its corpora and its build clocks untouched; omit it to delete the whole market. Deleting frees a slot on the account's plan. The terms themselves are not deleted — they are shared with any other market or tracked app using them.

  • get_reviews unknown never probed

    Reviews for any app over a window, filtered by storefront, star rating, text, or whether the developer has replied — plus the shape of the period: how many arrived per bucket, what they averaged, and where the app's pooled store rating stood while they did. Reviews exist for every app whether or not App Store Connect is connected, because they are read from the public store. This is the tool for "what are people complaining about": filter it and read the reviews yourself rather than asking for a summary. Every review says whether it can be answered (`can_reply`) and where an existing reply stands (`reply_state`); `reply_to_reviews` is what answers them.

Defaults to `30d`. A calendar period is compared against the calendar period before it — July against June, not against the 31 days ending 30 June. Three years is the ceiling. **This tool also takes `all`**, which is the app's whole review history and the only period that reaches a backlog older than three years. Reviews are kept for the life of the app and the console's own reviews screen has no date bound at all, so the ceiling above is about first-party analytics and not about these rows.

  • reply_to_reviews unknown never probed

    Create, update or remove public App Store review responses for apps owned by the authenticated account, using its connected App Store Connect API key. Requires write authorisation and eligible review ids. Submitted text is sent verbatim under the developer's name. Obtain approval for the exact text or requested removal before submitting. dry_run validates without publication. Accepts up to ten items and returns per-item outcomes; pending means Apple has accepted a response but has not published it.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
