- Key ID - you'll be prompted to enter this.
- Issuer ID - you'll be prompted to enter this.

📋 Commands

#### fetch

Fetch current app configuration from App Store Connect. Easiest way to get started. Fetch the app you want to manage or fetch another app to use as a template for your new app.

`bash


Show all your apps to select from (saves to storeconfig.json by default)

storeconfig fetch

Fetch specific app by ID

storeconfig fetch --id 1234567890
`

#### apply

Apply changes from JSON file to App Store Connect after making changes on it. It will preview the changes and ask for approval before applying them.

`bash


Apply changes (uses storeconfig.json by default)


storeconfig apply
`

#### set-price

Set prices for your app, in-app purchases, and subscriptions interactively. This updates pricing only in your configuration file; changes won't be applied to App Store Connect until you run the apply command.

`bash


Set prices (uses storeconfig.json by default)


storeconfig set-price
`

#### compare-price

Compare prices across territories in USD. Useful to see how your pricing compares to other territories.

`bash


Compare prices (uses storeconfig.json and outputs to compare-price.csv by default)


storeconfig compare-price
`

#### validate

Validate the JSON file format and structure. Useful for AI tools to check if your configuration file is valid before applying changes.

`bash


Validate configuration (uses storeconfig.json by default)


storeconfig validate
`

#### example

Generate example JSON files for different data types. Useful to get started or to see how to structure your JSON file.

`bash


Interactive selection of example type

storeconfig example

Generate minimal app example

storeconfig example --type minimal

Generate full app example

storeconfig example --type full

Generate subscription example

storeconfig example --type subscription

Generate in-app purchase example

storeconfig example --type iap
`

🧰 MCP Server - AI Integration

$3

StoreConfig includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with direct access to the JSON schema, business rules, and CLI guidelines. This enables AI tools to better understand and help you work with StoreConfig files.

This is optional but recommended for the best experience.

#### Installation

The MCP server is included when you install StoreConfig globally.

#### Configuration

Add the following configuration to your MCP client:

`json
{
"storeconfig": {
"command": "storeconfig-mcp"
}
}
`

For detailed setup instructions for different MCP clients (Cursor, VSCode, Claude Desktop, etc.), see the MCP Configuration documentation.

$3

Enable validation, autocomplete, and IntelliSense support. This is optional but recommended for the best experience.

#### Setup Steps

1. Open VSCode Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
2. Search for "json schema"
3. Ensure Schema Download is enabled
4. Click "Edit in settings.json"
5. Add the following configuration:

`json
// root settings.json
{
// Other settings (if any)...
"json.schemas": [
// Other schemas (if any)...
{
"fileMatch": ["storeconfig.json"],
"url": "https://storeconfig.com/storeconfig-schema.json"
}
]
}
`

> Note: You can add this configuration to either:
>
> - User Settings (applies to all your projects)
> - Workspace Settings (applies only to the current project)

#### JSON Schema URL

The schema URL used in the configuration above:

JSON Schema URL: https://storeconfig.com/storeconfig-schema.json`

> Note: If you don't want to use the MCP server, you can still use AI tools with StoreConfig by providing the schema URL directly. When using AI tools to modify your StoreConfig JSON files, provide the schema URL for more accurate and consistent results.

$3

- ✅ Real-time validation - Catch errors as you type
- ✅ Autocomplete - Get suggestions for properties and values
- ✅ Documentation - Hover over properties to see descriptions
- ✅ Type safety - Ensure your JSON structure is correct

Due to current App Store Connect API restrictions, some features are not yet available in the CLI. As soon as these capabilities are supported by the API, we will update the CLI accordingly.

- Creating a New App: New apps can only be created via the App Store Connect website.
- App Privacy: App Privacy data can only be created or updated through the App Store Connect website. This process is repetitive, and we plan to add support once the API allows it.
- State Management: Submitting apps, in-app purchases, and subscriptions is not supported. These actions are usually performed as a final step and are not repetitive or particularly difficult to do manually.
- Age Rating: Setting age ratings for apps is not currently supported.
- Start and End Dates: Setting start and end dates for in-app purchases and subscriptions is not supported.
- Promo Offers: Promo offers for subscriptions are not supported.
- Billing Grace Period: Billing grace period for subscriptions is not supported.

$3

- App Category: Support for setting app categories will be added soon.
- Content Rights: Support for managing content rights will be added soon.
- iOS Platform: Currently, only the iOS platform is supported. We plan to add support for additional platforms in the future.

$3

- StoreConfig Secret Keys are stored in your local machine
- Apple credentials and key are securely sent and stored on our servers for app management purposes. You can revoke access at any time through Apple or contact us to delete your user data and credentials.
