Converting from Command Line to MCP

If you're currently using the command line version of applesign, you can convert your commands to MCP tool calls. For example:

Command line:

applesign -p -m /path/to/profile.mobileprovision -b com.example.app app.ipa

MCP tool call:

{
  "type": "tool",
  "tool": "sign_ipa",
  "arguments": {
    "ipa_path": "app.ipa",
    "mobileprovision": "/path/to/profile.mobileprovision",

You can also use the MCP server manually by sending JSON requests to its stdin and reading responses from its stdout:

echo '{"type":"metadata"}' | npx applesign-mcp-server

This will return metadata about the server, including available tools and resources.
