Install

npm install -g @appeeky/google-play-store-cli

This installs both binaries:

• gps — CLI
• gps-mcp — MCP server (stdio)

gps --help
gps-mcp --help

Also available with other package managers:

pnpm add -g @appeeky/google-play-store-cli
yarn global add @appeeky/google-play-store-cli
bun add -g @appeeky/google-play-store-cli

Quick start

1. Authenticate

1. Create a Google Cloud service account and enable the Google Play Android Developer API.
2. Invite the SA email in Play Console → Users and permissions.
3. Download the JSON key (never commit it).

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json
gps whoami

Or:

gps --credentials /path/to/service-account.json whoami

Credential precedence: --credentials → GPS_CREDENTIALS / GOOGLE_PLAY_CREDENTIALS → GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS → ~/.config/gps/config.json.

2. First commands

gps --package com.example.app --json tracks list
gps --package com.example.app --json listings list
gps --package com.example.app --json reviews list

Writes need --confirm:

gps --package com.example.app deploy \
  --file ./app-release.aab \
  --track internal \
  --confirm

Multi-account

One service-account key can access many apps (Play Console grants). Google Publisher API has no list_apps — register packages locally:

gps accounts add my-co --credentials /path/to/sa.json --default-package com.example.app --default
gps apps add com.example.app --account my-co --name "My App" --default
gps apps list
gps --account my-co tracks list

Details: docs/authentication-accounts.mdx.

Common workflows

gps --package com.example.app tracks halt production --confirm
