Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@App Store Connect MCPList all my apps on App Store Connect"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
App Store Connect MCP
A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the entire Apple App Store Connect API (1,200+ operations) as MCP tools. Query apps, manage builds, handle submissions, read analytics, manage users, and more — all from your AI assistant.
Features
Complete API coverage — all 1,216 operations from the App Store Connect API v4.4
Tool search —
search_apismeta-tool to find the right operation among 1,200+Two transports —
stdiofor local use (Claude Desktop, Cursor),HTTPfor remote deploymentJWT authentication — automatic ES256 token generation and caching
Docker ready — multi-stage Dockerfile with health checks
Auto-publish — GitHub Actions workflow for npm publishing on release

Quick Start
1. Get API Credentials
Click Generate API Key (or use an existing one)
Note down:
Issuer ID — shown at the top of the Keys page
Key ID — shown in the key list
Private Key (.p8 file) — download it (only available once)
The key needs at least App Manager or Admin role for full functionality.
2. Install
Option A: npm (recommended)
npm install -g @ggaiteam/appstore-connect-mcpOption B: One-line installer
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topcheer/appstore-connect-mcp/main/scripts/install.sh | bashOption C: Docker
docker pull ghcr.io/topcheer/appstore-connect-mcp:latest3. Configure Your MCP Client
Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"appstore-connect": {
"command": "appstore-connect-mcp",
"env": {
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "your-issuer-id",
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "your-key-id",
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_FILE": "/path/to/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8"
}
}
}
}Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"appstore-connect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@ggaiteam/appstore-connect-mcp"],
"env": {
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "your-issuer-id",
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "your-key-id",
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_FILE": "/path/to/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8"
}
}
}
}Alternatively, inline the private key instead of a file path:
"APP_STORE_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIGTAg...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"
Restart your client. You should now have access to all App Store Connect API tools.
Usage Examples
Once connected, ask your AI assistant:
"List all my apps on App Store Connect"
"Show me the latest build for bundle ID com.example.myapp"
"Get all pending app review submissions"
"Search for subscription-related API operations"
The AI uses the search_apis meta-tool to discover available operations, then calls them.
Meta-Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search API operations by keyword, category, or HTTP method |
| List all 192 API resource categories |
| Get full parameter details for a specific operation |
Example Tool Calls
The AI can call tools like:

Remote Deployment (HTTP Mode)
Docker Compose
# 1. Create .env file
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials
# 2. Start
docker compose up -dThe server is available at http://localhost:3000/mcp.
Docker (manual)

Publishing is automated via GitHub Actions:
Create a release on GitHub (tag format:
v1.0.0)The
npm-publish.ymlworkflow automatically:Builds the package
Publishes to npm
With provenance
First-time Setup
Create an npm access token: https://www.npmjs.com/settings/~/tokens
Add it as a repository secret:
NPM_TOKENCreate a GitHub release — done!
Manual Publishing
npm version patch # or minor/major
npm run build
npm publishAPI Coverage
