App Store Connect MCP

App Store Connect MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to App Store Connect, giving you natural-language access to your apps, builds, TestFlight beta groups and testers, customer reviews, sales/finance reports, and team users.

[!WARNING]

AI-developed project. This codebase was entirely built and is actively maintained by Claude Code. No human has audited the implementation. Review all code and tool permissions before use.

What you can do

Ask Claude things like:

• *"List my apps"*
• *"Show me the latest builds for app 1234567890"*
• *"Who hasn't accepted their TestFlight invitation?"*
• *"Invite alex@example.com to the External Beta group"*
• *"Submit build 9876 for beta review"*
• *"What's our average rating in Japan this month?"*
• *"Respond to that 1-star review with an apology"*
• *"Pull yesterday's daily sales report for vendor 80012345"*
• *"Invite a new developer with App Manager role"*

Requirements

• Claude Desktop or Claude Code
• Node.js 22 or later
• An App Store Connect API key (.p8 file, Key ID, and Issuer ID) — admin or higher access required to create

Installation

Option A — npm

npx -y @chrischall/app-store-connect-mcp

Add to your Claude config (.mcp.json or Claude Desktop config):

{

"mcpServers": { "app-store-connect": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@chrischall/app-store-connect-mcp"], "env": { "APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "ABC1234567", "APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "57246542-96fe-1a63-e053-0824d011072a", "APP_STORE_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/AuthKey_ABC1234567.p8" } } } }

Option B — from source

git clone https://github.com/chrischall/app-store-connect-mcp.git

cd app-store-connect-mcp npm install npm run build

Add to Claude Desktop config:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{

"mcpServers": { "app-store-connect": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/app-store-connect-mcp/dist/bundle.js"], "env": { "APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "ABC1234567", "APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "57246542-96fe-1a63-e053-0824d011072a", "APP_STORE_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/AuthKey_ABC1234567.p8" } } } }

Getting an API key

1. Sign in at App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API.
2. Click + to generate a key. Pick a role appropriate to what you want Claude to do — Developer is enough for read-only browsing; App Manager for TestFlight management; Admin for user invites and most write operations.
3. Download the .p8 file (you can only download it once) and note the Key ID and Issuer ID.
4. Either point APP_STORE_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH at the saved .p8, or paste the PEM contents into APP_STORE_CONNECT_PRIVATE_KEY (newline-escaped is fine).

The key signs short-lived (20-minute) ES256 JWTs on demand. No external token storage; nothing is sent to anyone but Apple.

Environment

Confirmations

Every write (invite_beta_tester, delete_beta_tester, add_testers_to_beta_group, remove_testers_from_beta_group, submit_build_for_beta_review, respond_to_review, invite_user) asks you to confirm before anything is sent. A client that can show a confirmation prompt (Claude Code) shows one with the exact request. On a client that cannot, the first call sends nothing and returns a preview — method, path and the JSON body it will send — plus a confirmToken; only a repeat call with the same arguments and that token performs the write. A token is single-use, expires, and is refused if any argument changed since the preview.

Development

npm install

npm test # vitest run npm run test:watch # watch mode npm run build # tsc + esbuild bundle npm run dev # node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

Tests mock client.request / client.requestRaw; no real App Store Connect calls are made.
