Short answer

How can I track my staged rollouts using AI?

Your AI uses the Microsoft App Store MCP to pull real-time flight data and deployment statuses. You'll get a clear view of which users are in a beta test and how those packages are performing.

Deployment outcomes

Rollout visibility

What you get when your AI checks your rollout status.

STATUS

Active flight tracking

The AI identifies which package flights are currently live. You'll know exactly which deployment stages are active.

DATA

Specific flight details

Your agent pulls granular data for a single flight. This includes the specific parameters and targets of a deployment.

ALERT

Rollout health checks

The AI compares current flight data against your expectations. It flags if a rollout isn't hitting the right targets.

ACTION

Human intervention

The AI identifies anomalies in the flight data. You decide whether to halt a rollout or push it to the next stage.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the Microsoft App Store deployment data.

  1. Identify active flights

    The AI scans the App Store to find all currently running package deployments.

    list_flights

  2. Inspect specific deployments

    Once you pick a flight, the AI pulls the full configuration and status for that specific rollout.

    get_flight

  3. Analyze rollout progress

    The AI looks at the list of active flights to determine how many users have received the update.

    list_flights

  4. Verify flight parameters

    The AI checks the specific details of a single deployment to ensure it matches your rollout plan.

    get_flight

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI stop a rollout if it sees an error?

    No. The AI can only read flight data and report on status. You must manually manage the rollout in the App Store.

  • 02

    Can I use this to create new flights?

    No. This MCP is for monitoring and retrieving existing flight data only.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my app data?

    No. The AI only accesses data through the specific flight tools provided in the manifest.

  • 04

    How often does the AI check for updates?

    The AI only checks for updates when you explicitly ask it to via a prompt.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the percentage of users in a flight?

    No. The AI can only report on the current percentage; it cannot modify deployment settings.
