Common questions

Is Appstore Release MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: APPLE_KEY_ID, APPLE_ISSUER_ID, APPLE_KEY_CONTENT, ASC_BUNDLE_ID

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

appstore-release-mcp

An MCP server that drives the full App Store release cycle for iOS and macOS apps: version bump → archive + TestFlight upload → metadata → review submission → status.

What makes it different: existing App Store Connect MCP servers wrap the REST API — metadata, TestFlight management, analytics. None of them can do the one step the REST API doesn't support: getting a binary onto Apple's servers. This server is a *release pilot*, not an API browser, and gives you two ways to do that:

Direct ASC REST API (ES256 JWT, zero-dependency signing via node:crypto) for status, builds, metadata, and review submission
`asc_upload_build` — your existing fastlane lane archives, signs, and uploads, run as an async job with log polling (a real archive takes 5–15 minutes — no MCP timeout can hold that)
`asc_upload_ipa` — already have a signed .ipa? (from eas build, a CI pipeline, a manual Xcode archive) Upload it directly via xcrun altool — no fastlane, no local archive step, nothing to configure beyond the ASC API key you already have
Local version bumping across project.pbxproj (and project.yml for xcodegen projects)

Requirements

macOS with Xcode command line tools (xcrun altool — used by asc_upload_ipa)
fastlane with a lane that builds and uploads (e.g. beta) — only needed for asc_upload_build; skip it entirely if you're only using asc_upload_ipa
An App Store Connect API key (.p8)

Setup

Generate an ASC API key (once): App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API → Team Keys → Generate (role: App Manager). Download the .p8 — Apple lets you download it exactly once. Keep it in ~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/.

Register with Claude Code:

claude mcp add appstore \

-e APPLE_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXX \ -e APPLE_ISSUER_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx \ -e ASC_KEY_PATH=$HOME/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8 \ -e APPLE_TEAM_ID=XXXXXXXXXX \ -e ASC_BUNDLE_ID=com.example.myapp \ -e ASC_PROJECT_DIR=/path/to/your/xcode/project \ -- npx appstore-release-mcp

For a macOS app whose Fastfile uses platform :mac, add -e ASC_PLATFORM=MAC_OS -e ASC_FASTLANE_PLATFORM=mac.

Verify: ask the agent to run asc_doctor. All checks should be ✓.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`asc_doctor`	Verify config, creds, fastlane/xcodebuild/altool, app record — run first
`asc_app_status`	Versions + review states + recent builds in one call
`asc_list_builds`	Build processing states (wait for `VALID` after upload)
`asc_bump_version`	Bump build number / set marketing version in local project files
`asc_upload_build`	Run your fastlane upload lane as an async job — returns job ID immediately
`asc_upload_ipa`	Upload an already-built `.ipa` via `xcrun altool` — async job, no fastlane needed
`asc_job_status`	Poll a job started by `asc_upload_build` or `asc_upload_ipa`; status + log tail
`asc_update_metadata`	Description / keywords / what's-new / promo text via REST
`asc_submit_review`	Attach build + create review submission + submit

Release walkthrough

Building locally with fastlane:

asc_doctor                                   # toolchain healthy?

asc_bump_version {marketing_version: "1.1.0"} asc_upload_build # → job id asc_job_status {job_id} # poll until succeeded asc_list_builds # wait for processingState VALID asc_update_metadata {whats_new: "...", create_version: "1.1.0"} asc_submit_review {build_id} # point of no return asc_app_status # WAITING_FOR_REVIEW

Already have a signed .ipa (EAS Build, CI, manual archive) — no fastlane needed:

asc_doctor

asc_upload_ipa {ipa_path: "./build/app.ipa"} # → job id asc_job_status {job_id} # poll until succeeded asc_list_builds # wait for processingState VALID asc_update_metadata {whats_new: "...", create_version: "1.1.0"} asc_submit_review {build_id} asc_app_status

Environment variables

Credential names deliberately match fastlane's app_store_connect_api_key, so one credential set serves both.

Var	Required	Notes
`APPLE_KEY_ID`	yes	ASC API key ID
`APPLE_ISSUER_ID`	yes	ASC issuer ID
`APPLE_KEY_CONTENT` / `ASC_KEY_PATH`	one of	base64-encoded `.p8` / path to `.p8` file
`APPLE_TEAM_ID`	for `asc_upload_build`	Apple Developer team ID (not needed for `asc_upload_ipa`)
`ASC_BUNDLE_ID`	yes	your app's bundle identifier
`ASC_PROJECT_DIR`	recommended	Xcode project root where fastlane runs (default: cwd)
`ASC_PLATFORM`	no	`IOS` (default), `MAC_OS`, `TV_OS`, `VISION_OS`
`ASC_FASTLANE_LANE`	no	upload lane name (default: `beta`)
`ASC_FASTLANE_PLATFORM`	no	fastlane platform prefix, e.g. `mac` or `ios`
`ASC_UPLOAD_CMD`	no	full override, e.g. `bundle exec fastlane ios beta`

Notes

Build jobs are children of the server process; if the MCP client disconnects mid-build the job dies. Logs persist in ~/.appstore-mcp/jobs/ either way.
asc_submit_review is the point of no return for a release — the tool description tells agents to confirm with a human first.
