Appcircle MCP Server

- CI/CD and Workflow Intelligence: Monitor pipeline runs, track release status, and get insights into your mobile CI/CD workflows.
- Configuration and Environment Insights: Query build configurations and signing setup to understand how a project is configured and where issues may originate.
- Reporting and Operational Insights: Generate summaries of CI stability, recurring issues, pipeline performance, and overall CI/CD health.

You can use the MCP server in four ways:

Set these in your shell or in your MCP client’s configuration.

The following sets of tools are available:

You can exclude one or more toolsets so their tools are not registered. Exclusions can be set via CLI arguments or theAPPCIRCLE_EXCLUDED_TOOLSETSenvironment variable; both are merged (union).

- CLI:--exclude toolset1 toolset2or--exclude-toolsets toolset1,toolset2
- Env:APPCIRCLE_EXCLUDED_TOOLSETS=build_module,report
