RevenueCat's MCP Server:
What Agent Developers
Need to Know

26 tools, what they cover, what's missing, and where the platform goes from here.

RevenueCat shipped an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in early 2025 — making it the first subscription management platform with agent-native tooling. Not Adapty (16K+ apps). Not Superwall (4K+). Not Qonversion (10K+). None of them have an MCP server.

That's not an accident. Someone at RevenueCat made a deliberate bet that AI agents are the next developer persona. This analysis is about whether the current tooling matches that ambition — and what needs to happen next.


What the MCP server covers today

The server exposes 26 tools, authenticated via OAuth 2.0 or API v2 secret key. Here's the full inventory, grouped by domain:

Project

  • get_project — Get project details

App Management

  • list_apps — List all apps in the project
  • get_app — Get app details
  • create_app — Create a new app
  • update_app — Update app configuration
  • delete_app — Delete an app
  • list_public_api_keys — List public API keys for an app

Products

  • list_products — List products for an app
  • create_product — Create a new product
  • No update or delete — products are create-only via MCP

Entitlements

  • list_entitlements — List entitlements for a project
  • create_entitlement — Create a new entitlement
  • get_entitlement — Get entitlement details
  • update_entitlement — Update an entitlement
  • delete_entitlement — Delete an entitlement
  • attach_products_to_entitlement — Link products to entitlement
  • detach_products_from_entitlement — Unlink products from entitlement
  • get_products_from_entitlement — List products attached to an entitlement

Full CRUD plus product attachment. This is the most complete domain in the MCP server.

Offerings

  • list_offerings — List offerings for an app
  • create_offering — Create a new offering
  • update_offering — Update an offering
  • No get or delete — use list_offerings to inspect, and offerings persist once created

Packages

  • list_packages — List packages in an offering
  • create_package — Create a new package
  • attach_products_to_package — Link products to a package
  • detach_products_from_package — Unlink products from a package
  • No get or delete — packages use product attachment instead of direct CRUD

Additional

  • create_paywall — Create a basic paywall (stub only — no design control, no template selection, no copy editing)
  • get_app_store_config — Retrieve App Store configuration for an app

What's missing

The MCP server is a configuration tool. It handles setup well — creating the objects an agent needs to wire a subscription together. But it stops at launch. Here's what agent developers need that isn't there yet:

Analytics & Metrics

No tools exist for retrieving MRR, trial conversion rates, churn rates, revenue per customer, or any of RevenueCat's dashboard charts. The REST API v1 has /v1/subscribers/{app_user_id} for subscriber lookup, but the MCP server doesn't wrap it.

Impact: Agents can build a subscription system but can't measure its performance. No native feedback loop exists within the MCP surface.

Customer / Subscriber Lookup

Can't look up a specific subscriber's entitlement status, purchase history, or subscription state. This is the most requested capability for support automation — “check if user X has an active subscription” should be a single tool call.

The REST API supports this. The MCP server just doesn't expose it.

Experiments

Creating, monitoring, and interpreting A/B experiments is dashboard-only. No API access, no MCP tools. For agent-driven optimization, this is the critical gap — agents can set up the offerings for a test (by creating multiple offering variants), but can't formally configure experiments, set audience splits, or read results.

Note: Experiments are currently locked to Pro/Enterprise plans.

Targeting & Placements

No tools for managing targeting rules (which users see which offering) or placements (where paywalls appear). These are newer RevenueCat features, but they're essential for agent-driven personalization.

Configuration Validation

No validate_configuration tool to check that an app's subscription wiring is correct — products attached to entitlements, entitlements referenced in offerings, offerings containing packages. An agent that could run a pre-launch check would prevent the #1 community debugging issue (silent entitlement failures).

Webhooks

No tools for configuring webhook endpoints. Agents that need real-time purchase event processing must rely on the developer to set this up manually in the dashboard.


Competitive context

Despite these gaps, RevenueCat is significantly ahead of the competition in agent tooling:

PlatformAppsMCPllms.txt
RevenueCat79K+26 toolsYes
Adapty16K+NoneYes
Superwall4K+NoneUnverified
Qonversion10K+NoneYes

RevenueCat is the only subscription platform with an MCP server — full stop. Adapty and Qonversion have llms.txt files (a step toward AI readiness), but neither offers agent-native tooling. The MCP server is the differentiator. Every month it improves while competitors haven't started is a month of compounding advantage.


What comes next

If I were prioritizing the MCP server roadmap for maximum agent developer impact, here's the order:

P0

validate_configuration tool

Checks that products → entitlements → offerings → packages are correctly wired. Prevents the #1 debugging issue before it happens. Immediate value for every agent integration.

P1

Subscriber lookup

Wrap the existing REST API v1 GET /v1/subscribers/{id} endpoint. The API already exists — this is just an MCP surface area expansion. Unblocks support automation use cases.

P2

Metrics retrieval (charts / overview)

MRR, trial conversion, churn, revenue per customer. Closes the feedback loop — agents can finally measure the impact of what they configured.

P3

Experiment management

Create, configure, and read experiment results. This is the long-pole — it requires API surface that may not exist yet. But it's what turns agents from setup tools into optimization engines.

Worth noting: RevenueCat's IntelliJ plugin already has chart access, paywall lifecycle visualization, and AI-assisted code editing — capabilities the MCP server lacks. Agent tooling and IDE tooling are converging; the long-term play is a shared API surface that serves both.
