To install App Store Connect Server for Claude Desktop automatically:
npx @smithery/cli install appstore-connect-mcp-server --client claude
npm install -g appstore-connect-mcp-server
Or use directly with npx:
npx -y appstore-connect-mcp-server
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%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"
}
}
}
}
APP_STORE_CONNECT_KEY_ID: Your API Key IDAPP_STORE_CONNECT_ISSUER_ID: Your Issuer IDAPP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH: Path to your .p8 private key fileAPP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING: The base64 encoded contents of your .p8 private key file ✨ NEWPrivate Key Configuration: You can provide your private key in two ways:
APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_PATH with the path to your .p8 fileAPP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING with the base64 encoded .p8 file contentExample 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 o\your\AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8"))
Copy the resulting base64 string and use it as the value for APP_STORE_CONNECT_P8_B64_STRING.
To enable sales and finance reporting tools, you'll also need:
APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER: Your vendor number from App Store ConnectNote: 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".

💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
