How to Set Up and Use Itsyconnect macOS
Itsyconnect is a free, open-source macOS desktop app (and self-hosted Docker web app) that replaces Apple's App Store Connect with a dramatically faster and more capable interface for iOS and macOS developers. It includes an optional MCP server that lets AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode — manage app store listings directly from the terminal, covering metadata updates, AI-powered translations to all locales, TestFlight management, and review responses. All data stays local in a SQLite database; credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored in the macOS Keychain, so there is no cloud dependency or telemetry.
Prerequisites
- macOS 11 or later (for the desktop app), or Docker for the self-hosted web version
- An Apple Developer account with App Store Connect API key (Key ID, Issuer ID, and .p8 private key file)
- Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode as your MCP client
- Itsyconnect app installed and running with at least one app connected to App Store Connect
Download and install Itsyconnect
Download the signed DMG from the latest GitHub release, open it, and drag Itsyconnect to Applications. The app is notarized by Apple so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings.
# Download latest release DMG:
# https://github.com/nickustinov/itsyconnect-macos/releases/latest/download/Itsyconnect.dmgConnect your App Store Connect account
Launch Itsyconnect and follow the setup wizard to enter your App Store Connect API credentials: Key ID, Issuer ID, and the contents of your .p8 private key. These are encrypted locally and never leave your machine.
Enable the MCP server
Open Settings > General in Itsyconnect and enable the MCP server toggle. It binds to localhost on port 3100 by default using Streamable HTTP transport.
Connect your MCP client to Itsyconnect
Add the Itsyconnect MCP server to your AI tool's config. For Claude Code, run the add command; for Cursor, edit the JSON config file.
# Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http itsyconnect http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp
# Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):
# { "mcpServers": { "itsyconnect": { "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp" } } }Verify the connection and explore your apps
In your AI tool, ask Itsyconnect to list your apps. The server accepts human-readable app names rather than numeric IDs, so you can refer to your apps by name in prompts.
Itsyconnect macOS Examples
Client configuration
Cursor MCP config connecting to the Itsyconnect MCP server running locally on port 3100 via Streamable HTTP transport. No API keys are needed in the config — authentication with App Store Connect is handled by the desktop app.

}Prompts to try
Use your AI assistant to manage your App Store Connect data through Itsyconnect's four MCP tools: get_app, update_app, translate, and manage_locales.
- "Show me my app's current store listing in English"
- "Update the what's new field for version 2.1.0 to: Bug fixes and performance improvements"
- "Translate the description and what's new to all supported languages"
- "Add German and French locales to my app and translate all fields from en-US"
- "List all TestFlight builds available for my app"Troubleshooting Itsyconnect macOS
MCP client cannot connect to http://127.0.0.1:3100/mcp
Verify that the Itsyconnect app is running and that the MCP server is enabled in Settings > General. The server only starts when the toggle is on and the app is open. Check Activity Monitor to confirm the process is running.
get_app or update_app returns 'app not found'
The MCP server accepts app names (display names), not numeric App Store Connect IDs. Use the exact name as it appears in the Itsyconnect app sidebar. Names are case-sensitive. If unsure, call get_app with no app argument to list all connected apps.
translate tool returns an API key error
The translate tool uses the AI provider configured in Itsyconnect Settings. Open Settings and add your API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, or DeepSeek — whichever provider you want the translation to use. The MCP client does not pass AI keys directly.
