PubShip

Registry nameio.github.pubship/pubship

Install

Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Google Play reads and explicitly opted-in operations using your own local Google access.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pubship": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pubship"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add pubship -- uvx pubship

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pubship": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pubship"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "pubship": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pubship"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Basic checksi

We check information anyone can see; we have not read the code. Checks that do not apply are left out of the count. · Checked Nov 6, 2026

  • ✓ Pass

    Maker matches the repo

    The registry name was verified with the GitHub account pubship, which owns the repo

Compared with others in Otheri

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32357 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 61% of the other 32357 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 32357 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is PubShip safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.24.2) reached the registry 25 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

PubShip

Google Play developer workflows, from your own computer. Inspect releases, understand reviews and reports, and prepare explicitly authorized changes from your MCP client.

Start locally

Use your own service account with permissions for your apps in Play Console. Keep its private JSON outside this repository. Grant only the permissions needed for your intended operations. Never paste credentials into an assistant conversation.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/absolute/private/path/service-account.json

export GOOGLE_PLAY_PACKAGES=com.example.app uvx pubship

This starts the stdio server, which waits for an MCP client. For a credential-free installation check:

uvx pubship --check

The commands above install the published PyPI package. A source checkout may contain changes that are not yet published; after uv sync, use uv run pubship --check to check the local version.

Connect an assistant

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio pubship -- uvx pubship

Set the environment variables above in the shell launching your client. Restart the client after changing its environment.

Codex
codex mcp add pubship -- uvx pubship
Cursor and Gemini CLI

Client manifests in this repository declare the local service-account key path and package names. See client setup for configuration and the Gemini CLI installation command. For agent-assisted installation, read llms-install.md. Provide only the key file path, never its contents.

Generic MCP harness

Configure a stdio server with executable uvx, argument pubship, and your local environment. For clients that require explicit configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "pubship": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["pubship"], "env": { "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "/absolute/private/path/service-account.json", "GOOGLE_PLAY_PACKAGES": "com.example.app" } } } }

Client configuration stays on your computer. Consult setup for alternate authentication modes, enabled APIs, reports and permission boundaries.

What can it do?

The pinned inventory contains 172 method definitions. 170 have implementations, one subscription-archive method is unsupported by Google, and voided-purchases access is deliberately disabled by project policy. Disabled operations cannot be called through local or self-host tools.

  • Read releases, reviews, Android vitals and scoped bulk reports.
  • Inspect catalog, subscription, product and account resources with separate sensitive-data grants.
  • Prepare and review writes with explicit app/method permissions and single-use execution.
  • Keep local file transfers bounded and separate publication from edit staging.

Reads are the default. Optional writes and sensitive reads require explicit configuration. Provider text is untrusted data. Missing data is not zero; a submitted change is not necessarily published. No operation count is a claim of live Google verification.

  • Edit lifecycle
  • Purchase operations
  • Artifact transfers
  • Self-host configuration

Self-hosting for your own accounts

pubship-server retains the HTTP implementation for infrastructure you control. It refuses to start without PUBSHIP_SERVER_ALLOWED_EMAILS. Sign-in requires a signed Google ID token, a verified exact email match and nonce binding before any Google credentials are persisted. Removing an account from the allowlist invalidates its stored grants on next use. Legacy grants without verified identity must reconnect. Enrollment stays closed until the operator explicitly enables it.

There is no project-run Google-connected service. See the local-first decision and self-host setup.

Release notes

PubShip 0.24.2 improves tool descriptions and approval hints, and checks the same definitions across source and packaged installs. See the changelog for earlier versions. Source versions can precede package publication.

Development

Tool definition quality documents the TDQS 1.2 offline checks, reviewed heuristic findings and MCP contract regression coverage. Offline lint is not a model-scored grade.

Tests use fake providers. Browser tests require installed Playwright engines; backup integration tests require age. Record unavailable platform checks honestly. See contribution policy, release process, and security reporting.

Intended use

PubShip helps developers automate their own Google Play distribution work. It runs on your computer or on infrastructure you control, with your own Google credentials and Play Console permissions. The PubShip project does not run a hosted service and never receives your credentials. Use it only for apps and developer accounts that you or your organization own, and follow Google's Play Developer API Terms. Hosted PubShip instances run by others are not provided or endorsed by the PubShip project.

PubShip is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Google, Google Play and Android are trademarks of Google LLC.
