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 20.6 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

Sign in at App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API.
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.
Download the .p8 file (you can only download it once) and note the Key ID and Issuer ID.
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.
