HuaweiAppGallery MCP Server

Huawei AppGallery MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing app publishing on Huawei AppGallery Connect. Integrates directly with Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client.

Features

• Query and update app metadata (name, description, category, ratings, support contacts)
• Manage localized store listings per language
• Upload APK / AAB files with automatic chunked upload for large files (>4 GB)
• Submit apps for full release, phased (grey) release, scheduled release, or open testing (channel_id=2)
• Submit apps when the binary is hosted on your own server
• Manage phased release lifecycle (state changes, percentage updates)
• Query AAB compilation status
• Update scheduled release time
• Set GMS dependency flag
• Obtain download/installation and install-failure report URLs

Installation

Via MCP Registry (recommended)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --from-registry io.github.AgiMaulana/HuaweiAppGalleryMcp

Other MCP clients: Find it at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io — search for huawei-appgallery.

Manual installation

pip install huawei-app-gallery-mcp

Or with uv:

uv pip install huawei-app-gallery-mcp

Configuration

1. Get API credentials

1. Go to AppGallery Connect
2. Navigate to Users & Permissions → API key → Connect API
3. Click Create and select the App manager role
4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret

These are Connect API credentials — different from HMS Core app credentials.

2. Set environment variables

Create a .env file in your working directory (the server loads it automatically):

HUAWEI_CLIENT_ID=your_connect_api_client_id
HUAWEI_CLIENT_SECRET=your_connect_api_client_secret

# Optional: set a default app ID so you don't have to pass it to every tool call
HUAWEI_APP_ID=your_app_id

3. Connect to your MCP client (manual install only)

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huawei-appgallery": {
      "command": "huawei-app-gallery-mcp",
      "env": {
        "HUAWEI_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "HUAWEI_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
        "HUAWEI_APP_ID": "your_app_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (machine-level, manual install only)

Create /Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-mcp.json (macOS) or /etc/claude-code/managed-mcp.json (Linux):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "huawei-appgallery": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "huawei-app-gallery-mcp",
      "env": {
        "HUAWEI_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "HUAWEI_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
        "HUAWEI_APP_ID": "your_app_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

All tools accept an optional app_id argument. If omitted, HUAWEI_APP_ID from the environment is used as the default.

Usage Examples

Upload and release a new version:

Upload /path/to/app-release.aab (AAB, file type 5) then submit it for a full release.

Phased rollout:

Submit the app for a phased release to 20% of users.

Open testing:

Submit the app for open testing (channel_id=2).

Update release notes:

Update the English release notes to "Bug fixes and performance improvements".

Scheduled release:

Submit the app for release on March 20, 2026 at 10:00 UTC.

Download report:

Get the download and installation report URL for the last 30 days in English CSV format.

Publishing Workflow

Update app info  →  Update language info  →  Upload APK/AAB  →  Submit app

1. Use update_app_info / update_language_info to set metadata and release notes
2. Use upload_app_file to upload the binary (handles chunking automatically)
3. Use submit_app to trigger review and release
