app store optimization
A simple ASO guide for small teams
Build a repeatable cycle for research, metadata, screenshots, and measurement.
App Store Optimization automation for iOS teams
ASOgenic gives MCP-compatible clients the tools to research keywords, write and validate App Store metadata, manage screenshots, set up a brand-new release, and publish straight to App Store Connect. Interactive clients sign in with OAuth. Apple credentials are entered only in the signed-in ASOgenic dashboard, never in MCP connection configuration, chat, or an MCP tool.
Interactive setup takes a few minutes, uses OAuth, and needs no platform API key.
Free for a limited time: no card, 500 tool calls per month.
Quick setup
Connect your AI client in four steps
Choose your client, add the ASOgenic endpoint, finish OAuth in that client, then run asogenic_auth_status.
- 1Choose your client
Pick the AI app you want to connect.
- 2Add the ASOgenic endpoint
Use the client-specific instructions.
- 3Finish OAuth in your client
Sign in when the client opens the secure authorization flow.
- 4Check the connection
Run
asogenic_auth_statusto confirm setup.
Apple credentials are only added later if ASOgenic asks for them, in the signed-in dashboard.

Adapt search language, screenshots, and product context for each market.
app store screenshots
Plan screenshots around user questions
Show the main benefit first and use each image as clear product proof.
app store release checklist
Use a calm release checklist
Check metadata, assets, review details, and readiness before submission.
New App Store Connect product-page tools
Build campaign-specific pages, manage reusable media, and run measured product-page experiments from the same MCP workflow.
-
Custom Product Pages
Create and manage focused page versions, localizations, promotional text, search-keyword relationships, and visibility for campaign audiences.
-
Asset Library
Read Apple’s media specifications, upload reusable images and videos, update or remove assets, and place them on eligible product-page localizations.
-
Product Page Optimization
List and create v2 experiments for the default product page, then keep hypotheses, control assets, scope, and review decisions together.
These tools complement Apple’s App Store Connect UI and API. ASOgenic keeps publishing review-first. It does not invent product claims or declare an experiment winner for you.
Questions teams ask before they start
- What is ASOgenic?
- An MCP server that gives compatible clients tools to research keywords, validate App Store metadata, manage screenshots, set up a first release, and submit to Apple review.
- Does ASOgenic see my Apple credentials?
- For hosted accounts, upload the key only on the signed-in ASOgenic dashboard. It is validated and stored encrypted for your account, and the key is never returned. Read our privacy page or see the full FAQ.
- Can I validate App Store field limits?
- Yes. The workflow includes deterministic checks before approved content is published. Read the 100-byte keyword guide or see the docs.
- Can I automate more than keywords?
- Yes. The tools cover metadata, screenshots, release setup, TestFlight, reviews, and supported App Store Connect resources. See what the App Store Connect API can automate.
- Which MCP clients work?
- Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other compatible HTTP clients. Each interactive product completes its own OAuth connection. See all FAQ answers.
- Does ASOgenic publish changes automatically?
- No. The workflow validates drafts and keeps a review and approval step before publishing. See the review-first workflow.
What your MCP client can do
-
Keyword research & ASO
Scores and ranks keywords from Apple autocomplete and iTunes Search data, assembles byte-exact name/subtitle/keyword fields, and surfaces brand-candidate competitors, so the client doesn't hand-roll any of it.
-
Metadata generation & validation
Fetches your current listing per locale, checks every field against Apple's own limits before anything is written, and diffs generated content against what's live so nothing ships blind.
-
Screenshots
Lists, uploads, and deletes App Store screenshots directly. Reserve, upload, and commit happen in one call, reusing the right screenshot set for each device size.
-
First-time release setup
Category, age rating, review contact and demo account, build attachment, export compliance, and base pricing: everything a brand-new app needs beyond text, not just an existing listing to revise.
-
App privacy guidance
Shows the privacy step and keeps it visible in release readiness, while Apple’s App Privacy questionnaire remains a manual step in App Store Connect.
-
Subscriptions & in-app purchases
Creates subscription groups, subscriptions, and in-app purchases, sets their localized names and price points, and manages the whole product catalog alongside the listing.
-
TestFlight & beta
Manages beta groups and testers, sets build notes, and submits builds for beta review, so a TestFlight round is part of the same automated flow as the public release.
-
Customer reviews
Lists App Store customer reviews and posts or removes developer responses, so the client can triage and reply to feedback without leaving the release pipeline.
-
Release readiness & submission
One call aggregates every blocker across metadata, category, age rating, build, review contact, and privacy into a single ready-or-blocked answer, then submits the version for review once nothing's missing.
-
App Store Connect publishing
The client publishes straight to App Store Connect, and a retried write is safe to repeat: it patches, not double-creates. Hosted credentials are entered in the signed-in dashboard, never through MCP connection configuration or credential-bearing MCP tools.
-
Any MCP client
Compatible HTTP clients use the same endpoint, while each product keeps its own OAuth session. The setup guide gives Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and VS Code separate steps.
Free for a limited time
ASOgenic is free for a limited time: no card, no trial clock. Every account gets 500 tool calls per month, plenty for real iteration. A full optimization pass (keyword research, metadata, and publishing across a few locales) runs roughly 50-100 calls. Fair-use rate limiting keeps the service healthy for everyone.
