Quick answer

To ship a build from your AI editor: add the IPALinked MCP server (npx -y ipalinked-mcp) to Cursor, Claude or Copilot, then say “publish MyApp.ipa to IPALinked.” It uploads the build and returns a shareable install link with a QR code — free, no account, links expire in 7 days.

Get started in 2 steps

From install to your first AI-driven publish in under two minutes.

1

Add the MCP server (AI-native)

Since you're already in an AI editor, just paste:

Add the ipalinked-mcp server to my MCP config

Your assistant creates/updates the config for you. Then restart the editor.

2

Or add it manually

Drop this into your editor's MCP config (Cursor mcp.json, Claude Desktop config, VS Code .vscode/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "ipalinked": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ipalinked-mcp"] } } }

Supported: Cursor, VS Code (Copilot), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Windsurf, Zed. Requires Node 18+.

Talk to your assistant naturally — it picks the right tool.

“Publish ./build/MyApp.ipa to IPALinked and give me the install link”Uploads the IPA and returns a shareable OTA install URL

“Analyze ./MyApp.ipa — is it ad-hoc or enterprise, and when does it expire?”Reads the build locally; nothing is uploaded

Why IPALinked MCP

Stop context-switching — stay in your code and let the assistant handle distribution.

npx -y ipalinked-mcp
