App Store Connect MCP
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) via 4 lightweight MCP tools. Query apps, manage builds, handle submissions, read analytics, manage users, and more — all from your AI assistant.
Why only 4 tools? Registering 1,216 tools would consume ~140K tokens of LLM context, making the server unusable. Instead, the LLM uses
search_apis→get_tool_details→call_apito discover and execute any operation on demand — keeping context tiny while maintaining full API coverage.
Features
Complete API coverage — all 1,216 operations from the App Store Connect API v4.4
Context-friendly — only 4 MCP tools registered (not 1,216), protecting LLM context window
Tool discovery workflow —
search_apis→get_tool_details→call_apiResponse truncation — large API responses truncated at 25KB to fit LLM context
Two transports —
stdiofor local use (ggcode, Claude Desktop, Cursor),HTTPfor remote deploymentJWT authentication — automatic ES256 token generation and caching
Docker ready — multi-stage Dockerfile with health checks
Auto-publish — push a git tag
v1.x.xto publish to npm (OIDC, no token needed)

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
ggcode (topcheer/ggcode) — Recommended
Add to ~/.ggcode/ggcode.yaml under mcp_servers:
mcp_servers:
- args:
- -y
- '@ggaiteam/appstore-connect-mcp@latest'
command: npx
env:
APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID: your-issuer-id-here
APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID: your-key-id-here
APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_FILE: /path/to/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8
name: appstore-connect
type: stdioRestart ggcode. The 4 MCP tools (search_apis, get_tool_details, call_api, list_categories) will be available immediately.
Example session in ggcode:
> 列出我的 App Store Connect 应用列表
# ggcode will:
# 1. call_api("apps_getCollection", {arguments: {limit: 50}})
# 2. For each app, call_api("appStoreVersions_getToManyRelated", ...)
# 3. Summarize the resultsClaude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"appstore-connect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@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"
}
}
}
}Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"appstore-connect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@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.
Usage
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 search_apis → get_tool_details → call_api to discover and execute operations.
4 MCP Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search 1,216 API operations by keyword, category, or HTTP method |
| Get full parameter schema + usage example for one operation |
| Execute any API operation by name + arguments |
| List all 192 API resource categories with operation counts |
How It Works
User: "List my apps"
↓
AI calls: search_apis("apps")
→ finds: apps_getCollection (GET /v1/apps)
↓
AI calls: call_api("apps_getCollection", {arguments: {limit: 10}})
→ returns: [{name: "MyApp", bundleId: "com.example.myapp"}, ...]Common Operations
What | Operation |

Publishing is fully automated via GitHub Actions with OIDC trusted publishing — no NPM_TOKEN needed.
Release a new version
git tag v1.0.3
git push origin v1.0.3That's it. The workflow will:
Extract version from the tag
Check if version already exists on npm (skip if so)
Build the package
Publish to npm with
--provenance=false --access publicAuto-create a GitHub Release
First-time setup (already done)
Package must exist on npm (first publish is manual:
npm publish --access public)Configure trusted publishing on npm: link the package to
topcheer/appstore-connect-mcpNo NPM_TOKEN secret needed — OIDC handles authentication
