App Store keyword research: Apple popularity, difficulty with evidence, verdicts and app rankings.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Common questions

Is AppClimb safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

AppClimb — App Store keyword explorer

AppClimb is a freemium App Store keyword tool that answers one question: *which keywords can my app actually rank for?*

Search any keyword and get Apple's official Ads popularity (searchPopularity1to100, 1–100) with Apple's own weekly history, a difficulty estimate that shows its evidence, and a verdict (Worth targeting, Long-tail win, Competitive, Dominated, Low demand). Keyword Explorer works as a guest (8 new checks/day). A free account raises that to 30/day and unlocks 1 tracked app and the ASO assistant (5 messages/day). The optional Pro plan ($8/month, $64/year) lifts the limits, adds 52 weeks of Apple history, and cloud sync.

Popularity is Apple's relative score, or "≤N · Long tail" for terms below

Apple's published top 500 in their category, or (only if Apple is

unreachable) a labeled estimate. Difficulty is always an estimate. Nothing is

search volume, and no history is invented. See

ADR 0005.

Product surface

Keyword Explorer (/) — search with autocomplete from Apple's list of real App Store searches; a "What people search" panel (rising, most searched, new this month, per category); a keyword table with popularity (source-labeled), 12-week Apple trend, difficulty, and verdict; a detail panel with the verdict reason, difficulty evidence, Apple's weekly popularity chart, related Apple searches, and the top 10 apps.
My Apps tracker (/, sidebar) — add an iOS app by name, App Store URL, or ID; get metadata-based keyword suggestions; track scores, observed position in public iTunes results (first 200), notes, opportunity score, status filters, CSV export, and real rank history locally per app + storefront.
Storefronts — 16 supported countries.
Local history — Keyword Explorer: one real snapshot per keyword per day in appclimb:kw:v1:* (records from before Oct 2026 had an invented baseline; those points are dropped on load). My Apps: real position/metrics snapshots in appclimb:tracker:v1.
Accounts & Pro (ADR 0004) — passwordless sign-in (Google OAuth or email magic link), Paddle billing, plan-aware quotas, Pro cloud sync, and self-serve account deletion; a weekly purge enforces the retention periods on /privacy (src/lib/retention.ts). Guest search stays open. Tracking and the assistant require a free account. The account chrome appears when NEXT_PUBLIC_PRO_ENABLED=1 or when GET /api/me reports configured: true.
Agent access (ADR 0008) — remote MCP server at /mcp, setup on /connect. Listed in the official MCP Registry from server.json; Claude/ChatGPT directory status and submission texts are in docs/mcp-directory-submissions.md, including the one password sign-in for directory reviewers (src/lib/review-login.ts, off unless its secrets are set).
Marketing pages — /app-store-keywords, /guides/keyword-research, /blog (+ 4 notes), /about, /pricing, /privacy, /terms, /refunds.

Architecture

A single Next.js app deployed as a Cloudflare Worker (OpenNext). The browser queries itunes.apple.com directly (Apple allows CORS * but blocks Cloudflare Worker IPs). Official popularity comes from the Worker's store of Apple's weekly published search terms (Apple Ads Platform API v1 with founder credentials, cached in D1; first use of a new storefront-week costs ~8 sequential Apple calls, and .github/workflows/warm-apple-terms.yml preloads them). Keyword history lives in the visitor's browser by default.

Monetization runs on the same Worker plus a D1 database (appclimb-db, staging appclimb-db-staging):

src/app/api/auth/* — magic-link + Google sign-in, sign-out
src/app/api/me — profile, plan, limits
src/app/api/sync — Pro cloud sync (tracker / explorer blobs, LWW)
src/app/api/billing/webhook — signed Paddle events → D1 subscriptions
src/app/api/billing/portal — Paddle subscription management URLs
src/app/api/chat, src/app/api/popularity — plan-aware quotas
src/app/api/terms/{suggest,related,trending} — Apple's published search terms (D1-backed store in src/lib/search-terms-store.ts)
migrations/ — D1 schema; src/lib — plan/auth/billing/sync/quota libs
worker/, deploy/, compose.yml — frozen rollback artifacts from earlier architectures; never the current backend

Local development

npm install

npm run dev

Keyword Explorer / My Apps work without env vars (iTunes estimate fallback).

Official Apple Ads popularity needs server-only founder credentials:

# local — see .env.example

APPLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID=... APPLE_ADS_TEAM_ID=... APPLE_ADS_KEY_ID=... APPLE_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY="[PopNx MCP ตัดค่าที่หน้าตาเหมือนกุญแจออก]" APPLE_ADS_ACCOUNT_ID=...

production Worker secrets (never commit)

npx wrangler secret put APPLE_ADS_CLIENT_ID npx wrangler secret put APPLE_ADS_TEAM_ID npx wrangler secret put APPLE_ADS_KEY_ID npx wrangler secret put APPLE_ADS_PRIVATE_KEY npx wrangler secret put APPLE_ADS_ACCOUNT_ID

Optional ASO Assistant (DeepSeek V4 Flash) needs a server-only key:

# local

echo 'DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...' >> .env.local

production Worker secret (never commit the key)

npx wrangler secret put DEEPSEEK_API_KEY

The key is used only by POST /api/chat. It is never shipped to the browser.

Monetization setup (accounts · Paddle · sync)

The backend ships inert: routes degrade to 503 and the account UI is hidden until the founder completes this checklist. Do it in sandbox first, then repeat for production.

Databases — already created: appclimb-db (production) and appclimb-db-staging. Local dev: npx wrangler d1 migrations apply appclimb-db --local.
Paddle — create an account at paddle.com, then under Products create “AppClimb Pro” with two prices: Pro Monthly $8 and Pro Yearly $64. Note their price IDs. In Sandbox → Developer tools → Authentication grab the API key, client-side token, and a notification/webhook secret.
Webhook — in Paddle, subscribe to subscription events (subscription.created/updated/paused/canceled) pointing at https://appclimb.app/api/billing/webhook.
Google OAuth — Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials → OAuth client (Web) with authorized redirect URI https://appclimb.app/api/auth/google/callback.
Resend — resend.com → API key, verify appclimb.app as a sending domain (add the DNS records it shows).
Server secrets (Worker, never committed):

   npx wrangler secret put PADDLE_API_KEY

npx wrangler secret put PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET npx wrangler secret put RESEND_API_KEY npx wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID npx wrangler secret put GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET npx wrangler secret put PRO_ENABLED # value: 1 — enables plan quotas

7. **Public build-time vars** — GitHub → repo Settings → Secrets and

variables → Actions → Variables: NEXT_PUBLIC_PRO_ENABLED=1, NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_CLIENT_TOKEN= , NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_ENV=sandbox (then production), NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_PRICE_PRO_MONTHLY= , NEXT_PUBLIC_PADDLE_PRICE_PRO_YEARLY= .

Staging — deploy with npm run deploy:cloudflare:web:staging and set the same secrets for the staging environment (npx wrangler secret put ... --env staging) before the production flip.

Verification

npm run lint

npm run typecheck npm test npm run build npm run build:cloudflare npm run test:e2e

npm run check runs lint, typecheck, coverage, and both builds.

Production configuration

Pushes to main run .github/workflows/cloudflare-deploy.yml, which builds, applies D1 migrations, deploys the web Worker, verifies the canonical homepage, waits for the sitemap, and notifies IndexNow. Deploys go live immediately — run npm run check and npm run test:e2e before pushing.

The canonical production host is https://appclimb.app; the staging Worker is appclimb-web-staging.
