    How to connect

    How to connect ShipASO to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://api.shipaso.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://api.shipaso.com/mcp

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    preview_appRead-only ASO snapshot of any App Store app (grade, lead rank, top-10 count, sample). No account or store push — the optimized copy + push commands stay behind the human-approved loop. Works without a key.
    audit_appRead-only listing audit: prioritized findings (severity + impact) plus a summary, derived from the live public listing. Read-only — never edits or pushes.
    audit_play_appRead-only GOOGLE PLAY listing audit: screenshot grade, the 30/80/4000 title/short/long-description budget, target-term coverage in the long description (Play's keyword surface), a keyword-stuffing guard, prioritized findings + summary, and capability locks for surfaces a public read can't see. Takes a Play package id (com.foo.bar) or a play.google.com URL — NOT a free-text name (Play has no public name search). Play has NO keyword field. Reads public Play data only; never edits or pushes.
    audit_play_app_ownerRead-only audit of YOUR OWN Google Play app via the official Play Developer API — full fidelity including the short description (which the public page can't show), with NO capability locks. Requires a configured Play service account (GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT). Reads only — it opens and DISCARDS a Play 'edit' and NEVER commits, so it can't publish. Owner-only; for a competitor use audit_play_app.
    keyword_gapsRead-only keyword opportunities: terms tracked competitors VISIBLY use that this app doesn't target and doesn't rank top-50 for, sorted by winnability. Inferred from competitor name/subtitle only — never their ranking algorithm.
    rank_checkRead-only organic rank check across the app's target keywords, plus winnability-ranked opportunities computed from those measured positions. Positions are live-measured, never fabricated.
    screenshot_coverageRead-only screenshot scoring for the app's live store gallery (count, score, grade, levers to improve). Read-only — never uploads or pushes assets.
    competitor_watchRead-only competitor diff: resolves the named competitors and reports their current listings, what changed vs. the last seen state, and a digest line. Read-only metadata comparison; no ranking-algorithm data is invented.
    war_roomRead-only head-to-head rank war room for one of YOUR connected apps: your tracked-keyword rank history vs. live competitor positions on those same keywords. Reads stored data + live competitor ranks; writes nothing.
    localization_gapsRead-only localization expansion recommendations (ROI-sorted locales to add) for one of YOUR connected apps, from its most recent App Store Connect run. A static, bundled heuristic over the locales already read — no live install data is fabricated. Empty until you've run an ASC-connected pass.
    proofRead-only, anonymized aggregate proof across all tracked apps (real rank-win numbers — no app names, no user data). This is the 'prove the rank moved' surface that closes the prepare → approve → push → prove loop. Works without a key.
    propose_copyReturns a DRAFT optimized listing (name/subtitle/keywords/description) with validation for any app. THIS IS A DRAFT ONLY: it does NOT persist a proposal and does NOT push to the App Store. Publishing stays a human-approved action in ShipASO — an agent can draft and read; only a human approves and pushes.
