Works with Google Play Console

AppVitals

Play Console is about four clicks deep for every app, and the reviews API only keeps seven days. AppVitals is an MCP server that pulls reviews, ratings, vitals, and releases into the agent you already use.

What it does

Lists the apps you point it at.
Fetches reviews from the last 7 days. That is all Google returns.
Summarises star ratings from those reviews. Lifetime average is not in the API.
Reads crash and ANR rates, and flags the bad-behaviour thresholds (1.09% user-perceived crash, 0.47% ANR).
Breaks vitals down by device, Android version, or country when you need to find which slice is hurting.
Shows daily active users from vitals. Install and uninstall counts are not on the public Play APIs, so those stay in Console bulk reports.
Groups recent reviews by reviewer language. Country-level lifetime ratings are also Console bulk reports only.
Returns the latest track version codes for pre-launch context. Lab findings (stability, accessibility, and so on) are not on a public API.
Lists tracks and releases.
Gives you a 16 KB page-size checklist. Play does not expose alignment in the API, so you still check Play Console for your app's deadline.
Can reply to a review, but only when you pass confirm and writes are turned on.

Example output

Ask in plain English. Your assistant calls the AppVitals tool and explains what comes back.

3 one star reviews in the last 7 days. Two themes:
1. Streaks reset after 2.3.0 (2 reviews). Looks like a migration bug.
2. Reminders not firing on Pixel 8 (1 review). Check exact alarm permissions on Android 14.

// assistant
Pixel 6 (oriole) is the outlier: 2.41% user-perceived crash rate, over the 1.09% line.
Samsung traffic is fine at 0.88%. Worth checking the Pixel 6 build of 2.3.0 first.

20 to 26 Oct     55       4.4

Steady around 4.4 until 2.3.0, then a drop to 3.9, mostly from streak reset reports.

Production: 2.3.0 is rolling out to 20% of users. Everyone else is on 2.2.4.
Internal: 2.3.1 is ready. Given the crash flags, you might halt 2.3.0 at 20% and push 2.3.1.

Made-up app and data, to show the shape of what comes back. Your own numbers come straight from the Play Developer API.

Free and open source: the MCP

The MCP that talks to Google Play is open source (MIT) on GitHub and free to self-host. It gives you live reviews, ratings, vitals, and releases. You run it with your own Google Cloud service account and an invite in Play Console. No account here, no fee.

It only sees what Google returns right now, so no history past 7 days and no alerts. To get those yourself you would need to run your own server, database, and scheduled jobs.

What the hosted plans add

A managed MCP URL and API key. Nothing to install or keep running.
Daily snapshots of your reviews, so you keep the history after Play drops them.
Alert emails when crash or ANR rates cross Play's bad-behaviour thresholds, or a new 1 or 2 star review lands.
No Google Cloud project of your own. You invite our service account instead.
More than one app, on the Unlimited plan.

Pricing

7 day free trial on both. Prices are US dollars per month.
