About The App Stores Cooolest API
The App Stores Cooolest API is an MCP server published by the GitHub account smbcloudXYZ. Forget Fastlane, this is the app stores coolest API.
It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the cargo package smbcloud-ascapi-cli at version 0.5.0.
It asks for one secret: ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
It also needs ASC_API_KEY and ASC_ISSUER_ID set before it starts.
Version 0.5.0 was published on 25 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.
