  Rankd exposes a remote MCP server so AI agents can perform App Store
  Optimization on a user's behalf. It is built for indie developers and small
  teams shipping iOS, iPadOS, and macOS apps. Agents can search the App Store,
  pull live keyword, competitor, and app-health metrics, track apps, find and add
  winning keywords, manage competitors, and run guided ASO playbooks (find_keywords,
  spy_competitors, new_app, weekly_check). All tools require an active Rankd
  subscription with API access. Connect by adding the MCP-Server URL above in an
  MCP-capable client and logging in with a Rankd account (OAuth).
