Appcircle Claude Plugin

Appcircle's official plugin for Claude. It connects Claude to the Appcircle mobile CI/CD platform, covering build, code signing, distribution, publishing (App Store / Google Play), and testing, so you can ask Appcircle questions and look up your own organization's data right from chat.

Install in Claude Code

This repo is itself a Claude Code plugin marketplace.

/plugin marketplace add appcircleio/appcircle-claude-plugin
/plugin install appcircle@appcircle
/reload-plugins

Using it in claude.ai

You can install this plugin's skills in claude.ai too:

1. Open Customize.
2. Click Add plugin.
3. Choose Create plugin, then Add marketplace.
4. Enter the repository URL: https://github.com/appcircleio/appcircle-claude-plugin.

MCP tools are only available in Claude Code for now; installing the plugin in claude.ai gets you the skills, not the MCP tools.

Skills

Skill	Purpose
appcircle:doc-assistant	Answers Appcircle questions from official docs and product sources

Claude invokes a skill automatically when your question matches its purpose, or you can call it directly in Claude Code:

/appcircle:doc-assistant How do I configure iOS code signing for a build profile?

MCP server (Claude Code only)

The plugin registers mcp.appcircle.io as an MCP server named appcircle, authenticated via a bearer-token header using an Appcircle access token. For the full list of available tools and how it works, see the Appcircle MCP repository.

Configure the MCP server

The server authenticates with an APPCIRCLE_ACCESS_TOKEN, which you can obtain from either credential type:

• Personal Access Key
• API Key

1. Export it in the environment where Claude Code runs:

   export APPCIRCLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your-token>
   

2. Restart/reload Claude Code so the MCP server picks up the token.

3. Re-export and reload when it expires.

Without this, the MCP tools won't be able to authenticate. The doc-assistant skill works regardless, since it only reads public documentation.

Local development

These commands require the Claude Code CLI. Test the plugin without installing it by loading the directory directly:

claude --plugin-dir .

Validate it against the standard plugin schema:

claude plugin validate .
