App publish MCP: MCP server, setup and security

What App publish MCP does

According to its repository: “App Store Connect and Google Play Console: iOS and Android app management, TestFlight, builds, submissions, prices and sales reports.”

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. App publish MCP is listed under Developer tools, a category of 475 servers in the directory, where it ranks #278 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: ai-tools, android, app-publishing, app-store-connect, google-play, ios.

Installing and connecting App publish MCP

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

• npm package (Node.js, usually started with npx)

It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.

The registry lists 4 secret variables to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.

Security: what to check

Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.

Points found for App publish MCP:

• Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on February 15, 2026, the mikusnuz/app-publish-mcp repository has 39 stars and 9 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 48% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.7.0 (October 19, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
