Summary
ASO research without the monthly subscription.
Rank checks, keyword competitiveness and competitor discovery are the three things ASO tools charge for, and here they run against the store's own APIs. Leave verbosity on compact until you need more — these calls can return a great deal.
What it is
An MCP server backed by a native macOS binary that queries App Store search, chart and ranking APIs directly, and doubles as a CLI.
What you get
- App Store search with attribute and genre filters, plus a ranked mode whose results match actual store rankings
- An app looked up by ID, bundle ID or App Store URL
- Current top charts across free, paid and grossing
- An app's rank for a single keyword, or across auto-generated keywords
- A competitiveness score from 0-100 for a keyword, and a comparison across several
- Top competitors found through overlapping search results
- Trending categories surfaced from new chart entries
- Any storefront by two-letter country code, defaulting to US
- A verbosity setting that trades response detail against token usage, compact by default
Requirements
A current macOS on Apple Silicon. uvx appstore-mcp-server downloads the binary on first run; pip and a direct release download also work. No account or key.
Setup effort
One command — uvx appstore-mcp-server
