What is AppScreens MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting AI agents to tools. AppScreens MCP is in private testing. It gives compatible agents controlled access to editable screenshot projects, assets, previews, exports, store metadata and approved screenshot delivery.

Which AI tools are supported?

Private testing covers Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor. These clients use the hosted AppScreens MCP server with browser-based sign-in. Other clients need compatible Streamable HTTP transport and either OAuth or a secure API-key header.

Do I need an API key or a local MCP server?

Supported MCP clients use the hosted server and browser-based OAuth approval, so they do not need a local server or an API key pasted into chat. Scoped API keys for REST, CI, scripts and clients that cannot complete OAuth are coming soon.

Can I change screenshot captions and layouts through MCP?

Yes. AppScreens MCP lets your agent update selected captions, translations, text styling, images and device-frame settings in a saved project. Change a headline without rebuilding the design, or ask for a layout adjustment and review the rendered preview before exporting.

Does AppScreens MCP read my codebase or take simulator screenshots?

Your coding agent handles local files and app capture with its own tools. AppScreens receives the selected assets and uses them in your screenshot project. The MCP service does not browse your computer or run your app simulator.

Can my agent translate the screenshots?

Your agent proposes translations with its own model. AppScreens applies the copy you approve and renders the selected project language so you can check text fit and app imagery.

Can I keep using the AppScreens editor?

Yes. The workflow uses saved AppScreens projects that remain editable. Save and close an open editor before agent writes, then reopen the updated project to continue designing.

Can my agent export screenshots and upload them to the stores?

Yes, with private access. Your agent can export the selected screenshot sets and send them to an approved store destination. Export and delivery are separate actions, with a destination preview and your approval before upload. AppScreens can also prepare an Apple version or Google draft release. Build uploads, review submission and publication remain in your store release workflow.

How is this different from the Developer API?

MCP gives a compatible AI agent conversational access to the AppScreens workflow. The REST API exposes the same underlying services as explicit HTTP operations for scripts, applications and CI. Both work with the same saved projects, validation and durable jobs.

How do I create App Store screenshots with Claude Code?

When private access opens, add the hosted AppScreens server and sign in through your browser. Check the account capabilities, choose a template or saved project, bring your real app captures and review proposed captions. Preview the selected devices and languages, then explicitly approve an export or supported store action.

Can I create Google Play screenshots through MCP?

Yes, when the required private capabilities are enabled for the account. Supply real Android captures, choose the enabled targets and languages, review the copy and image assignments, then preview and export the selected PNG or JPEG assets. Store metadata, draft release creation and screenshot delivery remain separate approved actions.

How is an MCP server different from an agent skill?

An agent skill guides how the AI inspects the product, finds local screenshots and works through the release. The MCP server exposes the account, project, asset, render and store tools it calls. Local repository access stays with the host coding agent.

Is AppScreens MCP available now?

Public access is not open yet. AppScreens MCP is in private testing. You can create the reusable screenshot project in AppScreens today.

How much will MCP access cost?

Pricing will be announced when public access opens.

Workflow

Create and edit App Store screenshots with your AI agent

Make the next screenshot update a conversation. Ask for a clearer headline, a new app capture or another language, then review the finished design. Keep the layout you love and change what your next release needs.

1
Start with your app and design
Use a saved screenshot project or choose a template. Bring the real app captures you want customers to see.
2
Ask for the changes you need
Refresh a headline, replace an outdated screen or translate the captions. Your agent updates the editable project without rebuilding every device and language.
3
Review the screenshots together
Your agent receives the rendered screenshot, so you can review text fit and layout together. Ask for another change or open the same design in AppScreens.
4
Export the finished set
Get the selected sizes and languages as full-resolution assets. Approve store delivery separately when you want to send them to your listing.

In private testing, a connected agent can check your account and allowances, set up an app and validate its store connection without credentials in chat, and create a project from a template or a blank start. It can bring in your real app captures, edit captions and design elements, render previews to review, and export the full set. With your approval, it can prepare listing copy and draft releases, deliver screenshots to App Store Connect or Google Play, and restore an earlier saved version of a project.
