What they did

@MMSUCK1 built App Rings after Mantle shut down on September 30. It connects to the Shopify Partner API (read-only) and computes daily MRR, churn, trials and payouts, and it exposes an MCP server and JSON API so any MCP-compatible tool can query the numbers.

How it went

He says he validated the MRR calculation against his own apps' real data and payout records. MCP and API are on the free plan.

Worth knowing

Read-only Partner API access; tokens are encrypted per organization. If you use the in-app AI chat, your inputs go to the AI provider you pick.
