Frequently asked questions

Short answers. For interactive setup, use /connect. To give your MCP client or agent machine-readable setup instructions, paste /setup into it. For the full workflow, see the docs.

What is ASOgenic?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It gives any MCP-compatible client the tools to research keywords, generate and 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, enter the App Store Connect key only in the signed-in ASOgenic dashboard page returned by asogenic_auth_status. It is stored encrypted for that account and never returned. The dashboard lets you replace or disconnect it without showing the private key. Never send it through chat or an MCP tool.
How do I connect it to my MCP client?
Use the client-specific instructions at /setup for Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or VS Code. Interactive clients add the hosted URL and complete OAuth in that same product. CI and other unattended clients use a dashboard API key.
Which MCP clients work?
Any MCP-compatible client over HTTP. The hosted endpoint uses standard MCP OAuth for interactive clients, so Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other compliant clients use the same endpoint. API keys remain available for unattended automation.
Does ASOgenic publish changes automatically?
No. The workflow validates drafts and keeps a review and approval step before publishing.
What does it cost?
ASOgenic is free for a limited time: no card, no paid plans yet. Your account gets 500 tool calls per month, shared account-wide across OAuth connections and platform API keys.
What are the rate limits?
On top of the monthly quota there are short-window burst caps (about 120 calls/minute, 2000/hour). A RATE_LIMITED error means slow down and retry within seconds. A QUOTA_EXCEEDED error means your monthly allowance is spent and rolls back as old calls age out.
I lost my key. Can I see it again?
No. A platform API key is shown only when it is created or rotated and cannot be retrieved later. Rotate it from the dashboard to get a replacement. The previous key stops working.
Can ASOgenic set my App Privacy "nutrition label"?
No. ASOgenic cannot complete the App Privacy questionnaire through this credential flow. Set and verify it in the App Store Connect web UI before submission.
