MCP server for App Store rejection reasons, solutions, and real-world cases
Appstore Rejections MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Appstore Rejections MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for App Store rejection reasons, solutions, and real-world cases.
Built on a database of 48 rejection reasons, 51 solutions, 554 real-world cases, and all 130 Apple Review Guideline subsections.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at appstore-rejections-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Appstore Rejections MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
search_rejections — Semantic search — paste Apple's rejection message or describe the issueget_rejection_reason — Full details for a specific rejection reason (Apple's message, tags, categories)get_solutions — Step-by-step fixes with code examples, difficulty, and success ratesget_guideline — Look up Apple Review Guidelines by number (e.g. 2.1, 4.3, 5.1.1)list_common_rejections — Top rejection reasons ranked by frequencyget_cases — Real-world cases filtered by reason, app category, or appeal statusCursor — Add to your Cursor config file: - macOS/Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json - Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\mcp.jsonYou will need 2 environment variables: SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Appstore Rejections MCP's toolset — search_rejections, get_rejection_reason, get_solutions and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by robertojoseph; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
