How to Set Up and Use App Store Connect
App Store Connect MCP Server gives AI assistants direct access to Apple's App Store Connect API, enabling iOS and macOS developers to manage apps, beta testers, metadata localizations, bundle IDs, device registrations, and sales analytics entirely through natural language commands. Rather than logging into the App Store Connect web portal for routine tasks, developers can ask their AI assistant to add a beta tester, update French release notes, download a daily sales report, or enable push notifications for a bundle ID — all without leaving their coding environment. It supports the full spectrum of App Store Connect API endpoints relevant to app development and distribution.
Prerequisites
- An Apple Developer account with access to App Store Connect
- An App Store Connect API key: generate one in App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API
- The API Key ID, Issuer ID, and the downloaded .p8 private key file
- Node.js 18+ with npx available
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Generate an App Store Connect API key
In App Store Connect, go to Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API. Click the + button to create a new key, assign it an appropriate role (Admin or Developer), download the .p8 file, and note the Key ID and Issuer ID. The .p8 file can only be downloaded once.
Store the .p8 key file in a secure location
Move the downloaded .p8 file to a permanent location on your machine. Note the absolute path — you will need it for the APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH environment variable.
mkdir -p ~/.appstore
mv ~/Downloads/AuthKey_XXXXXXXX.p8 ~/.appstore/
chmod 600 ~/.appstore/AuthKey_XXXXXXXX.p8Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your claude_desktop_config.json to register the server with your API credentials as environment variables.
Optionally add your Vendor Number for sales reports
If you want to access sales and finance data, add APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER to the env block. Find your Vendor Number in App Store Connect under Payments and Financial Reports.
Restart your MCP client and test
Restart Claude Desktop or reload your MCP client. Ask it to list your apps to confirm the API connection is working correctly.

- "List all my apps on the App Store with their bundle IDs and current versions"
- "Add [email protected] as a beta tester to group ABC123 for my app"
- "Update the French App Store description for my latest app version"
- "Enable push notifications capability for bundle ID com.example.myapp"
- "Download the daily sales summary report for 2025-01-15"
- "Show me the latest beta feedback screenshots and device details for app 123456789"Troubleshooting App Store Connect
Authentication fails with 'JWT authentication failed' or 401 error
Verify that APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID and APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID exactly match the values shown in App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations. Also confirm APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH points to the correct .p8 file and the file has not been corrupted.
APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH returns 'file not found'
Use the absolute path to the .p8 file (starting with /Users/...). Environment variable expansion (e.g., ~/...) may not work in JSON config files. Run `ls -la /path/to/your/AuthKey.p8` in your terminal to confirm the file exists at the specified path.
Sales report tools return an error about missing vendor number
Add APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER to the env block in your config. Your Vendor Number appears in App Store Connect under Payments and Financial Reports → Summary. Without it, sales and finance endpoints will not work.
