list_apps
All your apps: name, bundle ID, SKU, platform.
40% of App Store rejections are preventable.
Missing metadata, empty "What's New" text, wrong screenshot sizes, no build attached. These are the top causes of Guideline 2.1 rejections, and they all have one thing in common: a preflight check would have caught them.
Other MCP servers give you 80-293 raw API endpoints. This one gives you a pre-submission audit that checks everything in one call. Plus a daily briefing, review summaries, and release notes generated from your actual git commits.
Raw endpoints are free everywhere. Intelligence is the part worth paying for.
Intelligence, not just endpoints.
These are the tools that raw API wrappers can't replicate. Each one composes multiple data sources and applies real validation logic.

Raw wrappers are free. Intelligence costs less than a lunch.
Other servers give you 200+ raw API endpoints. They don't audit your metadata, analyze your keywords, snapshot your competitors, or write your release notes. That's what $9/mo gets you.
