App Store Connect
Connect App Store Connect API through MCP so your agent can manage apps, TestFlight, subscriptions, localizations, and sales reports with JWT credentials.
Overview
App Store Connect MCP is an MCP server for the Launch phase that lets agents call Apple App Store Connect API operations using JWT API key auth.
What is this MCP server?
- App Store Connect API coverage: apps, TestFlight, subscriptions, localizations
- Finance and sales reporting when APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER is set
- npm mcp-asc stdio package at version 2.0.4
- JWT auth via Key ID, Issuer ID, and .p8 private key path env vars
- stdio transport for local agent-driven release ops
- npm package mcp-asc version 2.0.4
- Three required secret environment variables for JWT auth
- Optional APP_STORE_CONNECT_VENDOR_NUMBER for reports

What problem does it solve?
Manually juggling TestFlight, subscriptions, and localizations in ASC burns launch time and breaks flow for agent-assisted shipping.
Who is it for?
Solo iOS builders who already have App Store Connect API keys and want agent-driven store ops during ASO and release.
Skip if: Android-only products, builders without Apple API key access, or teams forbidden from storing .p8 paths on dev machines.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you add mcp-asc with your .p8 credentials, your agent can run ASC reads and writes as MCP tools from the same repo as your app.
- MCP tools backed by App Store Connect API for apps and TestFlight
- Agent-driven subscription and localization operations where API allows
- Optional sales and finance report access with vendor number configured
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Launch because the server wraps Apple distribution surfaces builders touch when shipping and listing iOS products. aso captures metadata, localization, and store-facing operations exposed by the App Store Connect API tools.
How it compares
Apple ASC API MCP bridge, not a cross-store ASO copywriter skill or TestFlight-only CLI with no MCP.
