Every ASO MCP server, compared honestly
Over June and July 2026 the ASO category quietly consolidated around MCP: Appfigures, AppTweak, Sensor Tower, and AppFollow all shipped official servers within weeks of each other, joining a field of hosted products, Mac apps, and open-source scrapers — 17 servers compared below, plus the ones that only earn a line. Having an MCP server stopped being a differentiator; what the thing serves, what the first call costs, and where it can actually run became the real questions.
One disclosure before the list: openaso is our tool. It sits in the table judged by the same dimensions as everyone else, and its row is blunt about where it loses — Apple only, no Google Play, no download estimates. Alongside the usual columns we compare the two things roundups tend to skip: cost to first call (money, minutes, and whether a sales call stands in the way) and maintenance (two of the most-listed servers in the registries are archived or self-declared unmaintained).

Hosted servers — a URL and a credential
Usable from CI, serverless runners, and cloud agents — where automated ASO workflows actually live. If your agent doesn't run on a laptop, this is your section.
The public ASO surface: per-storefront ranks, autocomplete suggestions, keyword demand (Apple's real Search Ads popularity, labeled estimate fallback), listing audits, coverage math, reviews, charts, revenue bands, managed daily tracking. Typed output schemas on every tool; the server teaches agents Apple's matching model.
access Free: 500 tool calls/day; key mints in a minute, no card
runs Hosted Streamable HTTP — works from CI, serverless, any MCP client
status Early access, actively developed. Apple only; no download estimates — on purpose
Keyword research with difficulty scores and Apple popularity, audits, review mining, revenue estimates, rank tracking, workspace write tools — iOS and Android.
access 50 free credits on signup (keyword research reported at 10 credits/call), prepaid packs from ~$10, $19/mo workspace plan
runs Hosted endpoint, or local npm over stdio
status Actively marketed; also writes the category's best-known roundup
Around 30 tools per its announcement: reviews and reply management, ratings, rankings, keyword data, reports — billed against your workspace's API credits.
access AppFollow account via Google OAuth; a genuinely free plan exists (reported 2 apps), write actions need higher tiers
runs Hosted (mcp.appfollow.io)
status Launched July 2026, actively developed
Their API over MCP plus docs search and integration code generation — closer to an API assistant than a standalone data product.
access Paid AppTweak API subscription (key passed per request)
runs Hosted (developers.apptweak.com/mcp)
status Live as of July 2026
App Performance and Pathmatics ad intelligence in natural language — the enterprise market-intelligence suite, agent-shaped.

iOS and Android ASO data behind a built-in MCP server.
access Free during open beta, no card; pricing unpublished
runs Hosted (mcp.liteaso.com)
status In beta as of July 2026
Local by design — official CLIs and Mac apps
Capable tools, tethered to a machine: a laptop agent can use these; a cloud runner cannot follow them there. The Mac-app servers also need their app open while the agent works.
The CLI's app-intelligence commands as tools: your portfolio's downloads, revenue, subscriptions and UA spend, ranks and charts, reviews with replies, tracked keywords, SDK data.
access Appfigures account (no free plan); public estimates need a paid plan plus the credit-billed public-data add-on
runs Local stdio via the Node 22+ CLI, signed in to your account
status CLI v1.0 June 2026, Apache-2.0 — the most polished of the local set
38 tools: keywords and rankings, metadata suggestions, App Store Connect analytics, Apple Ads campaign structure and bid recommendations.
access Pricing not publicly documented
runs macOS only; the app must stay open, MCP served on localhost
status Live as of July 2026
Free open-source macOS monitoring app (keywords, competitors, ratings, reviews) whose built-in MCP lets local agents query what it has collected; reads public App Store endpoints, Apple Ads and App Store Connect APIs, plus an optional browser-backed Apple Ads session.
access Free, MIT — download or build; macOS 15+
runs Local Mac app; the MCP runs as a local process
status Active (last push July 2026)
14 tools reading the Astro Mac app's local database: tracked rankings and history, competitive analysis — the data is whatever Astro already collected.
access Wrapper is free/MIT; requires the Astro app (reported ~$9/mo)
runs Local — reads Astro's SQLite on your Mac
status Wrapper last pushed September 2025; Astro reportedly ships a built-in MCP now — check the app before the wrapper
Open-source scrapers
Free, keyless, self-run. The tradeoffs are scraper-shaped: you inherit Apple's per-IP throttles, there is no demand signal (that lives behind Search Ads credentials), and output tends to be prose-shaped rather than schema'd. Fine for tinkering; a pipeline blocker at volume.
20 tools over the app-store-scraper and aso npm packages: keyword research and gaps, review sentiment, rank tracking, ASO report generation. iOS only.
access Free, MIT; no API key for reads
runs Local (npx aso-mcp)
status Last pushed June 2026; single maintainer
17 tools over app-store-scraper and google-play-scraper: search, details, reviews, keyword scoring, six suggestion strategies. Both stores.
access Free, MIT; self-host, no key
runs Local (Node)
status Last pushed July 2026
19 scraper tools over Streamable HTTP and SSE transports, Docker-ready, both stores.
access Free, MIT; self-host, no key
runs Self-host (HTTP + SSE)
status README declares it experimental with no maintenance planned; last push Feb 2026
A different job: App Store Connect and Apple Ads servers
Half of what ranks for "app store MCP server" is actually ops tooling for your own app — listings, TestFlight, sales reports, ad campaigns — driven by your Apple credentials. Different job than researching the public store; many teams sensibly run one of each.
982 tools generated from Apple's official OpenAPI spec — the full App Store Connect and App Store Server APIs for your own apps, with review triage and confirm-before-write safety.
access Free, MIT; bring your own App Store Connect API key
runs Local

How to choose
Start from where the agent runs. CI or a cloud runner narrows the field to the hosted section immediately. Then follow the money: if you already pay AppFollow, AppTweak, Sensor Tower, or Appfigures, their server is the natural way to point an agent at data you've bought. If you don't, the honest free paths are openaso (hosted, 500 calls/day, Apple only — ours), Lite ASO while its open beta lasts, and the scrapers (self-run, no demand data). And check the status line before adopting anything — the registries are littered with archived and abandoned servers that still list as current.
Questions people actually ask
What is an ASO MCP server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes App Store Optimization data — ranks, keywords, reviews, charts — as tools an AI agent can call like functions, from Claude, Cursor, or your own stack. The protocol is standard; what differs is the data behind it, what access costs, and whether it runs hosted or on your machine.
Is there a free ASO MCP server?
openaso is free at 500 tool calls a day, hosted, no card — that's this site, so weigh the source and check the table's third-party rows. The open-source scrapers are free too but self-run and unschematized; Sonar's free tier is 50 one-time credits; Lite ASO is free during its open beta with pricing unpublished; AppFollow's free plan reportedly covers two apps.
Can I use an ASO MCP server without an API key?
The open-source scrapers run keyless — you inherit Apple's per-IP rate limits and no demand data. Sonar also offers a keyless free mode with per-IP daily limits. The rest authenticate somehow: openaso with a free API key that mints in a minute, AppFollow with Google OAuth, the vendor servers with paid API credentials. A key is what makes a hosted free tier survivable.
Which ASO MCP servers cover both iOS and Android?
Sonar, AppFollow, AppTweak, Sensor Tower, Appfigures, and Lite ASO cover both stores, as do two of the three open-source scrapers (mcp-appstore, AppStoresMCP) — KenanAtmaca's aso-mcp is iOS-only. openaso does not — it is deliberately Apple-only, and says so everywhere rather than shipping thin Android data.
Hosted or local — which should an agent use?
Where does the agent run? A laptop workflow can use anything, including the Mac-app servers. CI, serverless, and cloud agents need a hosted endpoint — a server that requires a Mac app to stay open cannot follow the agent there. The middle ground, local scrapers, trade a hosted dependency for Apple's per-IP throttles.
What about App Store Connect MCP servers?
Different job. ASC servers (Heimdall and friends) operate your own app — listings, TestFlight, sales reports — with your Apple credentials. ASO servers research the public store. Plenty of teams run one of each; they don't compete.
