Installation

Using Smithery

To install App Store Connect Server for Claude Desktop automatically:

npx @smithery/cli install appstore-connect-mcp-server --client claude

Manual Installation

npm install -g appstore-connect-mcp-server

Or use directly with npx:

npx -y appstore-connect-mcp-server

Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "app-store-connect": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "appstore-connect-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "YOUR_KEY_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "YOUR_ISSUER_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH": "/path/to/your/auth-key.p8",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER": "YOUR_VENDOR_NUMBER_OPTIONAL"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Required Configuration

1. Generate an App Store Connect API Key from App Store Connect
2. Download the .p8 private key file
3. Note your Key ID and Issuer ID
4. Set the required environment variables in your configuration:
   • APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID: Your API Key ID
   • APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID: Your Issuer ID
   • APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH: Path to your .p8 private key file
   • OR APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING: The base64 encoded contents of your .p8 private key file ✨ NEW

Private Key Configuration: You can provide your private key in two ways:

• File Path (recommended for local development): Use APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH with the path to your .p8 file
• Direct Content (useful for CI/CD and cloud deployments): Use APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING with the base64 encoded .p8 file content

Example using P8_B64_STRING:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "app-store-connect": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "appstore-connect-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID": "YOUR_KEY_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID": "YOUR_ISSUER_ID",
        "APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING": "LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBQUklWQVRFIEtFWS0tLS0tCllPVVJfUFJJVkFURV9LRVlfQ09OVEVOVF9IRVJFCi0tLS0tRU5EIFBSSVZBVEUgS0VZLS0tLS0="
      }
    }
  }
}

How to create the base64 encoded private key:

To create the base64 encoded string from your .p8 file, you can use the following command:

# On macOS/Linux
base64 -i /path/to/your/AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8

# On Windows (PowerShell)
[Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\path\to\your\AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8"))

Copy the resulting base64 string and use it as the value for APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING.

Optional Configuration for Sales & Finance Reports

To enable sales and finance reporting tools, you'll also need:

• APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER: Your vendor number from App Store Connect

Note: Sales and finance report tools (download_sales_report, download_finance_report) will only be available if the vendor number is configured. You can find your vendor number in App Store Connect under "Sales and Trends" or "Payments and Financial Reports".
