# Ask your assistant about your app. It answers from your data.

Updated: 2026-09-12

Storelift runs an MCP server. Connect it once and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client reads your ranks, rivals, reviews, revenue and the market through 85 tools — and every change it proposes waits for your approval.

## One address for every client

The hosted server speaks Streamable HTTP and signs you in with OAuth. Pick your client:

Server address: `https://storelift.net/mcp`

### Claude

1. Open Customize › Connectors and click +.
2. Choose Add custom connector and paste the server address.
3. Storelift shows which app is asking; choose Allow.

On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it under Organization settings › Connectors, then members click Connect.

### ChatGPT

1. Open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced settings and turn on developer mode.
2. Create a connector and paste the server address.
3. Sign in to Storelift and choose Allow.

The search and fetch tools return records in the shape ChatGPT's deep research reads.

### Claude Code

1. Add the server with the line below.
2. Run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in.

```
claude mcp add --transport http storelift https://storelift.net/mcp
```

You can send an API key as a header instead, on every plan; the Free key works for MCP only:

```
claude mcp add --transport http storelift https://storelift.net/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sl_live_..."
```

### Cursor · Claude Desktop

1. Add this to the client's MCP config. storelift-mcp runs through npx and reads your API key from the environment. The key needs Storelift API access: Pro and above, or a credit pack.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "storelift": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "storelift-mcp"],
      "env": { "STORELIFT_API_KEY": "sl_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

The local server is registered in the MCP registry as net.storelift/storelift. Clients that accept a URL can use the hosted address instead.

## What the 85 tools read and change

Each tool carries its scope and its credit cost, so the assistant and you see the price of a call before it runs.

### One question, start to finish

Ask "Who ranks above my app in the US?" and the assistant makes 2 calls: list_apps → get_rivals. Below are the second call and the first row of its result, as a test key returns them from the fixed sample data.

The call your client sends:

```json
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_rivals","arguments":{"appId":"sbx-lumen","country":"us"}}}
```

The result: the first of the 3 rows in rivals, with its first keyword:

```json
{
  "country": "us",
  "platform": "ios",
  "rivals": [
    {
      "id": "1000000101",
      "name": "Calm Rain",
      "ratings": 57046,
      "terms": [
        {
          "term": "sleep sounds",
          "theirRank": 1,
          "ourRank": null
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

`ourRank: null` means the app does not appear in the results for that keyword. With all its keywords, that first row says Calm Rain (57,046 ratings) is above the app on 8 tracked keywords, and on 2 of them the app is absent.

An app id the workspace does not have comes back as a tool error the assistant can read: `ERROR: No such app in this workspace.`

[All three worked examples, with their commands](https://storelift.net/docs/api/#examples)

## Every change is a preview first

20 tools can change something — track a keyword, reply to a review, pause a campaign. Each one runs in two steps.

- **Preview** — The tool returns what would change, field by field, and a single-use confirmation token. Your data stays as it is, and a preview costs 0 credits.
- **Your approval** — The assistant applies the change with confirm_action after you say yes, and the confirm checks that the data still matches the preview. Applying costs 2 credits.
- **Your client's own check** — Tools that delete, pause or overwrite are marked destructive, so your client asks before it even calls them.
- **Guardrails** — A budget step moves a campaign by at most 50%, listing text goes to an editable version and review submission stays yours.

## What a call costs

MCP spends from the same monthly balance as the API. The balance and each call's cost are readable from the assistant itself.

- **Free** — 1,000 credits a month · OAuth or one MCP key
- **Pro** — 12,000 credits a month · OAuth or live key
- **Studio** — 50,000 credits a month · OAuth or live key
- **Enterprise** — 150,000 credits a month
- **Your apps, reviews, revenue** — 1–10 credits a call
- **Market (Hive Explorer or a credit pack)** — 10–500 credits a call
- **Account, usage, job status** — 0 credits
- **Previews · applying a change** — 0 · 2 credits

## Questions to start with

The server publishes these as MCP prompts, so a client that lists prompts offers them ready to run. The tool names show what the assistant calls.

- Which of my US keywords lost ground this week, and who is above me on them now? — `get_keywords`, `get_history`, `get_rivals`
- Which apps rank above me on my main keyword, and what do their names have in common? — `get_rivals`, `get_store_page`
- Summarise my recent reviews that mention a crash or a bug. — `get_reviews`
- Where does my app sit in its category chart in Turkey? — `get_charts`
- Do assistants name my app when asked about my category? — `get_ai_visibility`, `run_ai_visibility_check`
- Walk me through this week's ASO review: what should I work on first, which keywords moved, and who is ahead of me on them? — `get_weekly_plan`, `get_keywords`, `get_rivals`

## Questions

### Which plan do I need?

Every plan, Free included. Free carries 1,000 credits a month, over OAuth or with its one API key, which works for MCP only; Pro, Studio and Enterprise add more credits, Storelift API keys and the revenue and ads tools. The market tools run on Hive Explorer or a credit pack.

### Can the assistant change things on its own?

It can prepare a change and show you the preview. Writing happens only when you approve and the assistant sends the confirmation token.

### Where do I see which assistants are connected?

Settings › API › Connected apps lists every client you allowed. Removing one cuts its access on its next request.

### Does an OAuth connection read everything in my account?

It reads exactly the scopes your plan carries. A live API key can be narrowed further to chosen scopes and apps.

### Is the data the same as in the dashboard?

Yes. Every tool reads the same measurement, with the same three states: ranked, measured but absent, and not measured.
