App Store Connect

The App Store Connect MCP Server lets you manage App Store Connect data through conversational commands. It connects to Apple’s systems using MCP and JWT-based authentication, enabling you to perform app management, beta testing, localizations, analytics, and more from natural language interactions. This server helps you automate routine tasks, access up-to-date information, and integrate App Store Connect workflows into your development and operations workflows.

How to use

You interact with the App Store Connect MCP Server through an MCP client by invoking the available tools and endpoints described in the server's capabilities. Use natural language prompts to perform tasks such as listing your apps, managing beta testers, creating app store versions, updating localization details, retrieving analytics, and generating reports. Each tool has clearly defined parameters you can supply in your requests, and the server returns structured results you can act on in your automation or reporting pipelines.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are a modern Node.js and npm environment. Ensure you have Node.js v14+ and npm installed on your system.

Option A: Install via Smithery (recommended for automatic setup)

npx @smithery/cli install appstore-connect-mcp-server --client claude

Option B: Manual installation (local MCP server package)

npm install @joshuarileydev/app-store-connect-mcp-server

Configure the MCP server in your client’s configuration so the client can start and communicate with the server. The provided configuration snippet shows how to run the server using npx and set the required environment variables.

Configuration and startup

Set up the MCP server connection in your client configuration file. The example below demonstrates a stdio-based runtime using npm’s npx to launch the server, along with required environment variables.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "app_store_connect": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "appstore-connect-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "YOUR_KEY_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "YOUR_ISSUER_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH": "/path/to/your/auth-key.p8",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER": "YOUR_VENDOR_NUMBER_OPTIONAL"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication and security notes

Authentication relies on an App Store Connect API key and a private key in .p8 format. You provide the key ID, issuer ID, and the path to your private key in the server configuration. Optionally, you can configure a vendor number for sales and finance reporting.

Troubleshooting and tips

If you encounter authentication or network issues, verify that your API key, issuer, and key file path are correct and that the server process has access to the private key. Check that required environment variables are present in your runtime environment and that you have enabled any required vendor-number settings when you need sales and finance reports.

Notes and best practices

Keep your API keys secure and rotate them as recommended by Apple. Use the vendor number only when you intend to access sales and finance reports. Regularly monitor permissions and access for team members who interact with App Store Connect data through the MCP server.
