## Any app, not only your own

Apple’s and Google’s developer APIs read reviews and stats for the apps you publish. Scraper libraries reach any app, but they are code you run and keep working. Manifold reads any app in either store from one URL, and adds the store keyword data neither offers.

| | Scraper libraries | Store developer APIs | Manifold |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Any app, not only yours | Yes | Your own apps | Yes |
| Store searches with volume | No | No | Yes, US English |
| Works in Claude.ai and ChatGPT | No, code you run | No | Yes, hosted |
| When the store page changes | Yours to fix | Not affected | Maintained for you |
| Your own downloads and revenue | No | Yes | No, public data only |
| Setup | Install and code | Developer account and keys | Paste one URL |

## Questions about the App Store and Google Play MCP

### Is there an official App Store or Google Play MCP server?

Apple and Google publish developer APIs for the apps you own, not a server that reads the stores. Manifold reads any public app on either store: its listing, reviews, chart positions and the searches it ranks for.

### Can it read reviews of any app?

Yes, newest or most relevant first, with stars, text, the app version and, on Google Play, the developer’s reply. Up to 500 reviews a call on the App Store. Reviews cost 1 credit per 100. [What each app store tool returns](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/tools/apps.md).

### What can my agent look up on the app stores?

One app’s full listing with the developer’s contact details, its reviews, a store’s top free, paid or grossing chart by category, apps whose title matches a word, the store searches an app ranks for, the apps it competes with and the keywords several apps share.

### Which countries does it cover?

Listings, reviews and charts follow the location your agent passes. The keyword and competitor data covers the United States in English.

### Does it need an App Store Connect or Play Console account?

No. Nothing connects to your developer account, so it cannot see your own downloads or revenue. For those, use Apple’s or Google’s own tools.

### Which clients does it work with?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. [Setup guides for every client](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients.md).
