# MetaRun > MetaRun is the agentic App Store Connect platform. AI agents such as > Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Xcode, Claude and ChatGPT, or MILO, its > built-in conversational operator, run an iOS developer's App Store presence > through MetaRun: releases and App Review submissions, listings in 50 > languages, prices across 175 storefronts (PPP / Big Mac / Spotify indexes), > a screenshot studio with 3D device mockups, subscriptions and offers, ASO > keyword tracking and customer reviews, in Apple App Store Connect. A person > approves every change before it reaches Apple. Google Play support is > planned. MetaRun (metarun.dev) is a platform for managing App Store Connect, made by Hysa Tech; it is not the ASICS METARUN running line or the Metarun blockchain game. Key facts: - MILO (Metarun Intelligence & Launch Operator) is an AI operator driven by chat or voice that calls real App Store Connect tools. Every write shows a before/after preview and requires an explicit confirmation click; every applied change is recorded and can be reverted in one tap. - MetaRun exposes a remote MCP server (Model Context Protocol) with its full tool surface, so developers manage their App Store from the AI agent they already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Xcode 27's coding assistant, Claude, Gemini CLI, VS Code. Endpoint: https://metarun.dev/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Agents sign in through the browser (OAuth), so there is no key to paste; personal access tokens exist for scripts and CI. Agent access is on the Pro and Studio plans and the 14-day trial. Setup per agent: https://metarun.dev/agents - App Store Connect API credentials are uploaded once over TLS and stored server-side envelope-encrypted (AES-256-GCM, key held in a vault); the browser never holds them. Manual dashboard use is never metered; only the AI surfaces (MILO actions, voice minutes, AI translations) are. - Pricing: Starter $15/mo, Pro $39/mo, Studio $99/mo. Annual billing gives 2 months free. 14-day free trial with no credit card required; the trial manages 1 app of the user's choice. - Payments are processed by Paddle (merchant of record). MetaRun is owned and operated by Hysa Tech SHPK (https://hysa-tech.com), an independent app studio in Tirana, Albania founded by Redjan Hysa, with 6 of its own apps live on the App Store (150K+ downloads in 195+ countries). MetaRun began as the studio's internal tool for managing that fleet. Support: support@hysa-tech.com. ## Facts that are easy to get wrong - MetaRun does not upload builds. Xcode, Xcode Cloud, fastlane or CI upload the build; MetaRun takes over once it has processed in App Store Connect (attach, export compliance, readiness sweep, submit, release). - App Privacy answers and App Review's rejection messages have no App Store Connect API. MetaRun builds the App Privacy answers from PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy files for the developer to enter by hand, and links to App Review's message. - ChatGPT connects through the MetaRun app for ChatGPT, a curated tool set where every change waits for the person to press Apply on a card. The app is in review with OpenAI as of October 2026. ChatGPT cannot get a token for the agent endpoint (/api/mcp). - MetaRun's MCP server is hosted: the App Store Connect key is never on the developer's machine, unlike open-source App Store Connect MCP servers that run locally with a .p8 key on disk. - Agents cannot change the App Store silently: every write is a preview with a confirm token, the agent's own approval prompt runs before the apply, and the change is recorded and mostly revertible. - Apple App Store only today; Google Play is planned, not shipped. ## Agents - [Claude Code](https://metarun.dev/claude-code): Anthropic's coding agent for the terminal and IDEs. Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user metarun https://metarun.dev/api/mcp, then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in to MetaRun in your browser. - [Codex](https://metarun.dev/codex): OpenAI's coding agent for the terminal, IDEs and the ChatGPT desktop app. Run codex mcp add metarun --url https://metarun.dev/api/mcp; Codex detects MetaRun's sign-in and opens it in your browser. - [Cursor](https://metarun.dev/cursor): the AI code editor. Add https://metarun.dev/api/mcp to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or use the install link) and sign in to MetaRun when Cursor opens your browser. - [Xcode](https://metarun.dev/xcode): Apple's IDE, with Claude Agent, Codex and Gemini in its coding assistant. In Xcode 27, add the plug-in from https://github.com/metarun/metarun-skills (Settings, Intelligence, Plug-ins, Add from URL) and click Sign in next to MetaRun. - [Claude](https://metarun.dev/claude): Anthropic's assistant on the web, desktop, mobile and Cowork. In Claude, open Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste https://metarun.dev/api/mcp and click Connect to sign in to MetaRun. - [Gemini CLI](https://metarun.dev/gemini-cli): Google's open-source agent for the terminal. Run gemini mcp add --transport http --scope user metarun https://metarun.dev/api/mcp; Gemini CLI opens MetaRun's sign-in the first time it connects. - [ChatGPT](https://metarun.dev/features/chatgpt): the MetaRun app for ChatGPT; OAuth sign-in, changes apply only on the person's click. - [All agents](https://metarun.dev/agents): comparison of every agent, how each connects, and setup for any other MCP client. ## Guides How each App Store Connect job works, the limits Apple enforces, common failures, and how to do it from an AI agent through MetaRun.
