A local Model Context Protocol server for the App Store Connect API.
Manage apps, builds, TestFlight, reviews, and more from Codex, Claude, and other MCP clients on macOS.
asc-mcp is a Swift-based MCP server that connects a local macOS MCP client to the App Store Connect API. It exposes 502 tools across 33 App Store tool domains + 2 core domains, enabling you to automate iOS and macOS release workflows through natural language.
Configuration examples are included for Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Continue, Cursor, and Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf). Client configuration is documented; release CI verifies installation, MCP initialization, and tool discovery on macOS rather than launching every third-party client.
New here? Follow the Quick Start. The remaining sections are reference material for advanced configuration, tool selection, and contributors.
- Release and metadata — versions, localizations, builds, review submissions, phased rollout, and Xcode Cloud
- TestFlight and uploads — beta groups, testers, feedback, recruitment, build delivery, processing, and export compliance
- Monetization — in-app purchases, subscriptions, pricing, availability, offer codes, and promotional offers
- Marketing — screenshots, previews, custom product pages, product page optimization, and promoted purchases
- Accounts and provisioning — multiple App Store Connect teams, users, bundle IDs, devices, certificates, profiles, and capabilities
- Feedback and operations — customer reviews, webhooks, accessibility declarations, analytics, metrics, and diagnostics
- Safer automation — read-only mode, confirmation safeguards, strict pagination, and mutation recovery guidance
- Auditable API coverage — a versioned Apple OpenAPI contract and release-time drift checks
asc-mcp is a local stdio server: the MCP client starts it on the same computer. A client being available on Linux or Windows does not make this Swift server cross-platform.
| Environment | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| macOS 15.6+ with Xcode 26.x | Recommended | Release CI specifically uses GitHub's macOS 15 runner with Xcode 26.2 |
| macOS 14.0-15.5 | Declared deployment target only | Build and runtime are unverified; a separately installed Swift 6.2+ toolchain may be needed |
| Linux | Not supported yet | Porting work and Linux CI are not complete |
| Windows | Not supported | Current source dependencies and Swift MCP stdio transport are not Windows-compatible |
See Apple's Xcode system requirements for the macOS versions supported by each Xcode release.
Web and cloud sessions do not automatically inherit a local MCP configuration. Run the MCP client locally on a compatible Mac, or use a client feature that explicitly keeps execution on that Mac.
The recommended setup stores App Store Connect credentials once in a private local file. MCP clients then need only the path to the asc-mcp executable.
brew install mint
mint install zelentsov-dev/asc-mcp@v4.1.3
~/.mint/bin/asc-mcp --version- Open App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → Team Keys.
- Generate a key with the least-privileged role that covers your workflow. App Manager or Admin is needed only when the corresponding operations require it.
- Download the
.p8file. Apple allows it to be downloaded only once. - Copy the Key ID and Issuer ID.
Create private configuration directories, then move the downloaded .p8 file into ~/.keys/. Replace the source path and filename in the second command:
mkdir -p ~/.config/asc-mcp ~/.keys
chmod 700 ~/.config/asc-mcp ~/.keys
mv /path/to/downloaded/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8 ~/.keys/Create ~/.config/asc-mcp/companies.json:
{
"companies": [
{
"id": "my-company",
"name": "My Company",
"key_id": "XXXXXXXXXX",
"issuer_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"key_path": "/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8"
}
]
}Replace /Users/you with your actual home-directory path. Keep both files outside the repository and restrict access:
chmod 600 ~/.config/asc-mcp/companies.json
chmod 600 /Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8Caution
Never commit companies.json, a .p8 key, or raw credentials to Git. Revoke the App Store Connect key immediately if it is exposed.
Choose one client. You do not need to configure every client.

If the connection or request fails, see Troubleshooting.
Mint installs the pinned release from source and keeps the executable at ~/.mint/bin/asc-mcp.
brew install mint
mint install zelentsov-dev/asc-mcp@v4.1.3Update or reinstall the pinned release:
mint install zelentsov-dev/asc-mcp@v4.1.3 --forceStable users should install a version tag. Installing main or develop is intended only for maintainers and pre-release testing.
Use Xcode 26.x on a compatible macOS version, or install a standalone Swift 6.2+ toolchain.
git clone https://github.com/zelentsov-dev/asc-mcp.git
cd asc-mcp
swift build -c releaseThe executable is .build/release/asc-mcp. If you copy it elsewhere, also copy the adjacent resource bundle:
cp .build/release/asc-mcp /usr/local/bin/asc-mcp
cp -R .build/release/asc-mcp_asc-mcp.bundle /usr/local/bin/The bundle contains the versioned OpenAPI operation contract used by release checks.
From v4.0.x
Version 4.1 keeps every existing tool name, required input, projection key, and array shape. Xcode Cloud read tools now reject undocumented arguments and validate returned links, paging, relationship lineage, and included resources more strictly. New *Present projection fields distinguish Apple-omitted arrays from present empty arrays while legacy array fields remain arrays. Newly exposed nested *_limit inputs must be paired with their matching include value, and continuation calls must repeat the original request scope unchanged. The new product and workflow delete tools default to a safe preview and require the latest preview receipt plus exact inventory confirmation before permanent deletion.
From v3.18.x
Version 4 keeps every existing tool name and worker filter, but destructive Marketing and review-attachment calls now require an exact confirmation ID before any Apple request:
| Existing tool | New required confirmation |
|---|---|
custom_pages_delete |
confirm_page_id |
ppo_delete_experiment |
confirm_experiment_id |
promoted_delete |
confirm_promoted_purchase_id |
review_attachments_delete |
confirm_attachment_id |
screenshots_delete_set, screenshots_delete_preview_set |
confirm_set_id |
screenshots_delete |
confirm_screenshot_id |
screenshots_delete_preview |
confirm_preview_id |
ppo_update_experiment also requires confirm_experiment_id when state is supplied. Calls that update only name or traffic proportion remain unchanged. After an unknown or committed_unverified mutation result, use the returned inspection action before retrying.
Remove undocumented top-level arguments from existing Marketing and review-attachment calls. Version 4 rejects unknown keys before any network request instead of silently ignoring them.
The default ~/.config/asc-mcp/companies.json file shown in the Quick Start is recommended because it works consistently for terminal and GUI clients without duplicating secrets in every client configuration.
For multiple companies, add more entries:
{
"companies": [
{
"id": "my-company",
"name": "My Company",
"key_id": "XXXXXXXXXX",
"issuer_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"key_path": "/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8",
"vendor_number": "YOUR_VENDOR_NUMBER"
},
{
"id": "client-company",
"name": "Client Company",
"key_id": "YYYYYYYYYY",
"issuer_id": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy",
"key_path": "/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_YYYYYYYYYY.p8"
}
]
}vendor_number is required only for analytics_sales_report, analytics_financial_report, and analytics_app_summary. Find it in App Store Connect → Sales and Trends → Reports.
Environment-variable alternative
Environment variables are useful for automation, but GUI apps launched from Finder may not inherit your shell environment. The file-based setup above is simpler for most users.
Single company:
export ASC_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXX
export ASC_ISSUER_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
export ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8
export ASC_COMPANY_NAME="My Company" # optional
export ASC_VENDOR_NUMBER=YOUR_VENDOR_NUMBER # optional, analytics onlyMultiple companies:
export ASC_COMPANY_1_NAME="My Company"
export ASC_COMPANY_1_KEY_ID=XXXXXXXXXX
export ASC_COMPANY_1_ISSUER_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
export ASC_COMPANY_1_KEY_PATH=/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8
export ASC_COMPANY_2_NAME="Client Company"
export ASC_COMPANY_2_KEY_ID=YYYYYYYYYY
export ASC_COMPANY_2_ISSUER_ID=yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy
export ASC_COMPANY_2_KEY_PATH=/Users/you/.keys/AuthKey_YYYYYYYYYY.p8Numbering starts at 1. Each consecutive entry must provide both ASC_COMPANY_{N}_KEY_ID and ASC_COMPANY_{N}_ISSUER_ID; scanning stops at the first missing pair.
Configuration resolution order
The server resolves credentials in this order:
--companies /absolute/path/to/companies.json- Constructor parameter for programmatic embedding
ASC_MCP_COMPANIES=/absolute/path/to/companies.json- Default configuration file locations, including
~/.config/asc-mcp/companies.json ASC_COMPANY_1_KEY_IDand the other numbered multi-company variablesASC_KEY_ID,ASC_ISSUER_ID, and a private-key variable for one company
All examples below assume a Mint installation and the recommended companies.json credential file. Replace /Users/you with your actual home-directory path. GUI clients generally require an absolute executable path.
| Client | Configuration scope | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Codex | User config by CLI; optional trusted-project config | Shared by local Codex clients on the same Mac |
| Claude Code | user, local, or project scope |

Codex CLI, IDE extension, and desktop client
Recommended CLI registration:
codex mcp add asc-mcp -- ~/.mint/bin/asc-mcp
codex mcp list
codex mcp get asc-mcp --jsonThe same local MCP configuration is shared by Codex clients on that Mac. The user configuration is $CODEX_HOME/config.toml, which defaults to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.asc-mcp]
command = "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
startup_timeout_sec = 20
tool_timeout_sec = 60
enabled = trueFor a project-specific setup, place the same table in .codex/config.toml; Codex loads project configuration only after the project is trusted. If you use shell credentials instead of companies.json, explicitly forward them:
env_vars = ["ASC_KEY_ID", "ASC_ISSUER_ID", "ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH"]Restart a GUI client after changing the configuration, then use its MCP view or /mcp to confirm that asc-mcp is active. See the official Codex MCP documentation.
Claude Code
Register once for all local projects:
claude mcp add \
--transport stdio \
--scope user \
asc-mcp \
-- ~/.mint/bin/asc-mcp
claude mcp get asc-mcp
claude mcp listUse --scope local for only the current project or --scope project to create a shared .mcp.json. Project servers require trust approval. Never place raw App Store Connect credentials in a committed .mcp.json.
Claude stores user and local MCP entries in ~/.claude.json; .claude/settings.json is not the global MCP registry. Use /mcp inside Claude Code to inspect or reconnect the server. See the official Claude Code MCP documentation.
Claude Desktop
Add the server to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
}
}
}Quit and reopen Claude Desktop after saving the file.
Gemini CLI
Add the server to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
}
}
}The default Gemini MCP timeout is intentionally retained. See the official Gemini CLI MCP documentation.
VS Code with GitHub Copilot
Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and choose the user profile for a personal setup. For a workspace setup, create .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
}
}
}Confirm that you trust the local server when VS Code first starts it. Do not commit user-specific paths or secrets in a shared workspace file. See the official VS Code MCP documentation.
Continue
Continue does not use .vscode/mcp.json. Create .continue/mcpServers/asc-mcp.json in the workspace:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
}
}
}MCP tools are available in Continue agent mode. See the official Continue MCP documentation.
Cursor
Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects or .cursor/mcp.json for one project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp"
}
}
}Restart or refresh the MCP server from Cursor settings after editing the file. See the official Cursor MCP documentation.
Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)
Add the server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. This example enables a 72-tool release subset, below Cascade's 100-tool limit:
{
"mcpServers": {
"asc-mcp": {
"command": "/Users/you/.mint/bin/asc-mcp",
"args": [
"--workers",
"apps,builds,export_compliance,versions,reviews"
]
}
}
}You can also disable individual tools in the client. Server-side worker filtering is recommended because it keeps the active catalog predictable. See the official Devin Desktop MCP documentation.
Important
command must point to the real executable. GUI clients often do not inherit shell aliases, PATH changes, or environment variables. Use an absolute path and prefer the default companies.json credential file.
The server exposes 502 tools across 33 App Store tool domains + 2 core domains. Some MCP clients impose a tool limit; Cascade in Devin Desktop currently allows 100 active tools. Use the 35 --workers filter keys to enable only the workers you need:
# Only load apps, builds, and version lifecycle tools
asc-mcp --workers apps,builds,versions
# App Store release preparation subset (99 tools, including always-on and build sub-workers)
asc-mcp --workers apps,accessibility,builds,export_compliance,versions,app_info,screenshots
# TestFlight review helpers can be loaded separately (49 tools)
asc-mcp --workers apps,builds,beta_app,pre_release
# Monetization focus
asc-mcp --workers apps,iap,subscriptions,pricing,promoted,review_submissionscompany and auth workers are always enabled regardless of the filter (they provide core multi-account and authentication functionality).
When builds is enabled, it automatically includes build_processing and build_beta sub-workers.
Use --read-only when you want safe inspection without App Store Connect mutations:
asc-mcp --read-only
asc-mcp --read-only --workers apps,builds,reviews,analyticsIn this mode, read tools such as *_list, *_get, *_search, *_status, *_verify, *_parse, *_triage, auth_*, analytics, and metrics remain available. Tools that can create, update, upload, submit, release, delete, revoke, clear, cancel, or otherwise mutate App Store Connect are blocked before their worker handler runs. company_switch remains available because it changes only the local active company context.
Use the operation-contract command to compare the actual credential-free WorkerManager catalog with the semantic manifest and the pinned Apple App Store Connect OpenAPI specification. The production manifest records exact Apple operationId, HTTP method, path, invocation-scoped input bindings, typed fixed values, response lineage, local workflows, implementation state, deprecated aliases, and deliberately deferred operations. The command does not load App Store Connect credentials or start the MCP server.
rm -rf /tmp/asc-openapi
mkdir -p /tmp/asc-openapi
curl -L --fail -o /tmp/asc-openapi/spec.zip \

--strictThe manifest is pinned to Apple API 4.4.1 by version, SHA-256, path count, and operation count. It currently maps 476 Apple operations, explicitly defers 424, and scopes out 363, covering all 1,263 operations without overlap. CI fails when the Apple document changes, a mapped operation moves or disappears, a public tool or worker drifts from the manifest, an input field loses its binding, response lineage becomes invalid, or a deferred decision expires. Unexposed optional Apple parameters are warnings so they remain visible in the generated backlog.
Manifest schema v2 also accounts for every optional Apple query and request-body input as publicly bound, internally controlled, intentionally omitted with a reviewed reason, or still unclassified. The checked-in optionalInputCoveragePin records the exact current totals and a SHA-256 digest of the sorted input identities and dispositions; --strict rejects a missing pin or any count- or identity-level drift. The pin makes phased remediation auditable and regression-safe, but it is not a claim that every optional Apple input is already public. The v4.1.3 pin is 2,905 total: 1,122 bound, 40 internally controlled, 1,743 intentionally omitted, and 0 unclassified. Its identity SHA-256 is c975f4e4eebb62ec87864a73fbf72bb8841f644108e54e6ffb25168bcf2a2766.
--strict is the merge- and tag-time release gate. Every declared target or broken tool remains an error in reports, and a regression test pins their exact state. The current baseline has no target or broken implementations and no implementation drift, so any implementation that leaves asBuilt, any structural contract error, or any optional-input coverage drift blocks both merges and releases. --structural-strict remains available only for local phased remediation work.
This gate proves operation identity, top-level MCP field ownership, required Apple inputs, typed internal values, and response source/pointer lineage. Full MCP type/enum/range parity and complete typed response schemas remain separate optimization phases; the current mapping status is 469 partial and 33 deprecated.
The older openapi-coverage command remains available for the high-level domain report in ASC-OPENAPI-COVERAGE-GENERATED.md. The operation contract is the authoritative release gate.

When an MCP client eagerly loads every tool definition, the approximate schema footprint is:
| Configuration | Tools | ~Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| All workers (default) | 502 | ~60,000 |
Release workflow: apps,builds,export_compliance,versions,reviews |
~72 | ~8,900 |
Monetization: apps,iap,subscriptions,pricing |
184 | ~21,100 |
TestFlight: apps,builds,beta_groups,beta_testers |
~63 | ~7,100 |
Marketing: apps,screenshots,custom_pages,ppo,promoted |
~78 | ~8,800 |
--workers apps |
17 | ~2,100 |
Heaviest workers: Subscriptions (99 tools), InAppPurchases (59 tools), Xcode Cloud (42 tools), Screenshots (19 tools), Provisioning (17 tools).
Exact cost depends on the MCP host's serialization, tokenizer, and tool-discovery strategy. Modern clients may defer schemas until they are needed. Use --workers when the client enforces a tool limit or when you want a smaller, more focused catalog.

build_uploads_upload_file |
Transfer a new or existing reservation from an immutable local snapshot |
build_uploads_upload |
Run parent creation, reservation, transfer, commit, and processing reconciliation |
Compound uploads retain the same lowercase MD5 fingerprint from reservation through recovery. Explicit resume and recovered-continuation instructions carry expected_md5; the next invocation verifies a fresh immutable snapshot against it before any Apple request or transfer. An existing reservation already marked UPLOAD_COMPLETE or COMPLETE is accepted only when Apple's sourceFileChecksums.file MD5 matches that snapshot; missing, unsupported, or mismatched evidence is retained for inspection without another transfer, commit, or delete. Presigned operations retry only when their method is PUT; redirects, POST, and unknown methods are not replayed. If an ambiguous create is uniquely recovered, the workflow stops and returns its resource ID for explicit continuation. Transfer credentials stay redacted unless include_sensitive_details is explicitly enabled on a direct read.

The legacy product-scoped localization, submission, and image tools remain callable for compatibility. Apple 4.4.1 deprecates iap_list_localizations, iap_create_localization, iap_update_localization, iap_delete_localization, iap_submit_for_review, iap_upload_image, iap_get_image, iap_delete_image, and iap_list_images; successful responses identify the versioned replacement tools. For localization creation, promotional image upload, and review submission, first use iap_list_versions, call iap_create_version only when a new metadata version is needed, and pass that version ID to the downstream versioned tool. These compatibility calls never create or select a version automatically.
If Apple may have accepted a version or version-localization create but the response is lost or cannot be decoded, the tool returns write_outcome: not_confirmed and retrySafe: false with the requested identity plus list/get inspection steps. Inspect before retrying to avoid duplicate metadata resources.
Subscriptions — 99 tools
Includes subscription and group metadata versions, version-owned localizations and images, plan-type-aware availability, territory-aware prices, price points and adjusted equalizations, promoted purchase reads, inventory/pricing helpers, intro offers, promotional offers, offer codes, one-time/custom codes, win-back offers, and review screenshots. All former public offer_codes_*, intro_offers_*, promo_offers_*, and winback_* functionality is exposed through subscriptions_*.
Apple 4.4.1 also deprecates the legacy product- or group-scoped localization, image, and submission tools. They remain callable for compatibility, return explicit replacement guidance on success, and never create or select a metadata version automatically. New integrations should use subscriptions_create_version or subscriptions_create_group_version, the corresponding version-localization/image tools, and the generic review_submissions_* workflow.
Subscription version, group-version, localization, and plan-availability creates use the same non-idempotent recovery contract: an ambiguous Apple write returns write_outcome: not_confirmed, retrySafe: false, the requested fingerprint, and deterministic collection/get inspection guidance.
The following names remain available for compatibility, but Apple 4.4.1 deprecates their legacy subscriptionAvailability resource in favor of plan-type-aware subscriptionPlanAvailabilities:
| Tool | Compatibility status |
|---|---|
subscriptions_get_availability |
Deprecated legacy availability read |
subscriptions_set_availability |

- Swift 6 strict concurrency — all workers and services are
Sendable, proper actor isolation - Actor-based HTTP client — thread-safe with exponential backoff and retry logic
- Prefix-based routing —
WorkerManagerroutes tool calls by name prefix (zero config) - Minimal dependencies — only the MCP Swift SDK
Server not responding / MCP disconnection
- Run
~/.mint/bin/asc-mcp --versionto verify the installation independently of the MCP client. - Verify that the MCP client uses the absolute path to the installed executable.
- For Codex, run
codex mcp listandcodex mcp get asc-mcp --json. - For Claude Code, run
claude mcp get asc-mcpandclaude mcp list. - Check either the configured
companies.jsonfile or the environment variables used by your chosen setup. - Ensure every
.p8key path is absolute and the file exists. - Restart GUI clients after changing their MCP configuration, then inspect the client's MCP output log.
Authentication errors (401)
- Verify your Key ID and Issuer ID match what's shown in App Store Connect
- Ensure the
.p8file is the original download (not modified) - Check that the API key hasn't been revoked
- JWT tokens auto-refresh, but if the key is invalid, all requests will fail
Metadata update rejected by App Store Connect state rules
apps_update_metadata sends the metadata PATCH to App Store Connect after local text, locale, and URL validation. Apple decides whether the current version state is editable. Rejected and metadata-rejected versions can be edited and resubmitted; published, in-review, or otherwise locked versions may return an Apple API error.
Build processing takes too long
Use builds_get_processing_status to inspect the current processing state and builds_check_readiness to verify App Store/TestFlight readiness. Apple's build processing typically takes 5-30 minutes but can be longer during peak times.
