## What it does

This server connects your development assistant to Appcircle mobile CI/CD workflows. It supplies tools for inspecting build profiles, signing configurations, test distribution, and pipeline run analytics.

You can connect directly to the hosted endpoint at `https://mcp.appcircle.io` or run it locally using Python or Docker. Setting `APPCIRCLE_ACCESS_TOKEN` is mandatory when running as a local subprocess over stdio.

To keep operations strictly read-only, set `AC_MCP_ENABLE_WRITE_TOOLS=false` in your environment. This prevents tools like `trigger_build` from registering. Specific modules can also be filtered out using `APPCIRCLE_EXCLUDED_TOOLSETS`.
