What is the AppTweak MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. The AppTweak MCP gives your AI access to:
Store data: App Store and Google Play listings, metrics, category rankings, keyword rankings and volumes, reviews, top charts and paid search
Your AppTweak account: your workspaces, followed apps, competitors and keyword lists
Your console data: App Store Connect, Google Play Console and Google Play Reports data, when connected to AppTweak
You only access the data included in your AppTweak plan. The MCP does not unlock data from a higher plan.
How to connect the AppTweak MCP
In AppTweak, click Use in your AI at the top right of the screen, next to Ask AI Agents.
Choose your AI tool and follow the steps shown.
The first time you use the connector, sign in with your AppTweak account. No API key is needed.
⚠️ Important tip: On Claude Team or Enterprise and on ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, an admin of your AI workspace may need to add the AppTweak connector once for your organisation before each person can sign in.
MCP credits per plan
Each AppTweak ASO Intelligence plan includes MCP credits:
Essential: 100 MCP credits
Grow: 200 MCP credits
Expand: 400 MCP credits
Enterprise: custom MCP credits
MCP credits are a personal daily allowance: each AppTweak user has their own, and it resets every day.
Legacy plans
The AppTweak MCP is included in our legacy plans as well:
Starter: same allowance as Essential
Pro and Guru: same allowance as Grow
Scale and Power: same allowance as Expand
The number of credits a question uses depends on how many requests your AI makes to AppTweak to answer it. A question about one app in one country uses less than an analysis across several competitors, markets or a long date range.
You can compare plans on our pricing page.
How to check your remaining MCP credits
There is no usage counter in the AppTweak interface. Your remaining usage is available directly from your LLM.
Ask your AI:
How much AppTweak MCP usage do I have left?
Your AI will return:
Usage: the percentage of your daily allowance used and remaining
Reset time: when your allowance resets
Shared usage: whether it is on or off for this connection
Account: which AppTweak account the connection is signed in with
If a request is refused because your allowance is spent, your AI will also tell you when it resets.
💡 Expert tip: Checking your usage does not use MCP credits, so you can ask before starting a large analysis.
How shared usage with the API works
By default, when your daily MCP credits are spent, the AppTweak MCP stops answering until your allowance resets.
If your company has an AppTweak API plan, you can turn on shared usage. Once your MCP credits are spent, the AppTweak MCP then continues on your company's API credits instead of stopping.
How to turn on shared usage with the API
Shared usage is set on the AppTweak consent screen, which appears when you connect AppTweak to your AI tool.
When you connect for the first time:
Start the connection from your AI tool and sign in with your AppTweak account.
On the consent screen, select Allow shared usage, then confirm.
If you are already connected:
Disconnect AppTweak from your AI tool, then connect it again.
On the consent screen, select Allow shared usage, then confirm.
In both cases, ask your AI how much AppTweak MCP usage you have left to check that shared usage is on.
To turn it off, reconnect and leave Allow shared usage unselected.
Which credits are used, and in which order
Your MCP credits first: your personal daily allowance from your AppTweak plan.
Then your company's API credits: only if shared usage is on and your company has an API plan. Each MCP tool call costs 1 API credit.
If your company has no API plan, you'll need to wait for your allowance to be reset.
⚠️ Important tip: With shared usage on, your AI draws from the same API credits as your company's integrations and data pipelines. A long AI session can reduce the credits left for those. Check with the person who manages your API plan before turning it on.
How to check your company's API credits
In AppTweak: open your API dashboard to see your API key and current credit balance.
From the API: call the usage credits endpoint. This call is free. Learn more here.
FAQ
Is the AppTweak MCP the same as the AppTweak API MCP server?
No. The AppTweak MCP is for asking questions in conversation and uses MCP credits from your AppTweak plan. The AppTweak API MCP server is for developers building on the API: it reads the API documentation and uses API credits from an API plan.
Do unused MCP credits roll over to the next day?
No. Your allowance resets every 24 hours and unused credits are lost.
Can I get more MCP credits?
You can upgrade your plan, contact your account manager, or turn on shared usage if your company has an API plan.
Which data can the AppTweak MCP access?
Public App Store and Google Play data (store listings, metrics, rankings, keywords, reviews, top charts and paid search), your AppTweak workspaces, followed apps and keyword lists, and your App Store Connect, Google Play Console and Google Play Reports data when connected.
