How do I create an App Store Connect API Key?

Log in to App Store Connect, go to **Users and Access**, select the **Integrations** tab, and then **App Store Connect API**. You can generate and download your private key (.p8) there.

What is my Issuer ID and Key ID?

The Issuer ID is a unique ID for your organization, and the Key ID is specific to the API key you generated. Both are displayed on the App Store Connect API keys page.

How are sales reports handled?

The `get_sales_reports` tool initiates a download of aggregated sales data from Apple. Note that detailed reports are provided as compressed files which are processed by the server.

Apple App Store + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Apple App Store MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
