How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2527 tokens (~157/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management67
- Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100

- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 16 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 17 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Each result has rating, rating count, revenue and downloads estimates and a distance (lower means closer). Results are sorted by downloads estimate, biggest first, not by distance. Use it to build a competitor list; use search_apps to look up an app by name instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | integer | yes | App Store ID of the reference app |
| country | string | – | Two-letter country code (default: "us") |

No output schema declared.

list_design_apps List apps with captured designs ~263
List every app whose screens App Store Tracker captured itself (the library at /designs), best US chart position first, with its screen count, the design categories captured (onboarding, paywall, features, other) and its page. Page through the whole library with offset, or narrow it: by category name, by words in the app's name, by a design category, or by app_ids, which keeps the apps of another answer (for example a get_rankings chart) that we have screens for, in that order. Then search_designs with an app_id shows that app's screens.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_ids | array | – | App Store ids from another answer, best first: only these apps, kept in this order |
| category | string | – | App Store category name, e.g. "Health & Fitness", "Finance", "Games"; ignored when query names an app |

search_apps Search apps ~145
Find iOS apps by name or keyword, using Apple's iTunes Search API at call time (a text search over Apple's catalogue, not our own data). Returns app_store_id, name, developer, category id, rating, rating count and price for each match. Call this first to turn an app name into the app_store_id (the 'app_id' argument) that every per-app tool needs.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Two-letter country code (default: "us") |
| limit | integer | – | Maximum number of results (1-50, default: 25) |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_designs Search app designs ~337
Search real iPhone app screens that App Store Tracker captured itself (the library at /designs) by describing what you want to see, e.g. "paywall with a free trial toggle and the yearly plan preselected", "onboarding that asks for the user's goals", "notification permission pre-prompt". Describe one screen in plain words; narrow with pattern or app_id rather than with negations or keyword lists. Ranked by meaning, with exact on-screen words counting extra, and at most per_app screens per app. Each item gives the app_id for every per-app tool, the flow and screen it belongs to, a short summary, the image URL and the App Store Tracker page to cite. Covers only the apps we captured, not the whole App Store; an empty list means none of those matched.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | integer | – | Only this app's screens (App Store ID, from search_apps) |
| limit | integer | – | Screens per page (1-20, default: 8) |
| offset | integer | – | Screens to skip, for the next page (use next_offset; at most 500, enough for every screen of one app) |
| pattern | string | – | Only screens of this category: onboarding, paywall (paywall & subscription), features (the app itself after first run) or other (settings, account, help...). Default: any |
| per_app | integer | – | Most screens from one app (1-5, default: 2; ignored with app_id) |
| query | string | yes | What the screen shows, in plain language (at most 300 characters) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the App Store Tracker MCP server?

What is the App Store Tracker MCP server?
App Store Tracker is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.appstoretracker/mcp. iOS App Store chart rankings, app details, reviews, keywords and revenue estimates. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://www.appstoretracker.com/api/mcp).
Is the App Store Tracker MCP server safe to use?
App Store Tracker scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the App Store Tracker MCP server expose?
App Store Tracker exposes 16 tools: search_apps, get_app_details, get_rankings, add_to_watchlist, get_similar_apps, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,229 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the App Store Tracker MCP server require authentication?
Yes. App Store Tracker asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the App Store Tracker MCP server still maintained?
App Store Tracker is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
