Perplexity

Automate ASO research in Windsurf

Cascade handles your app store research without you needing to prompt every single step. When you ask to analyze a competitor, Cascade uses `get_app_metadata` to pull their core metrics and immediately chains it with `get_keyword_rankings` to see where they win. You get a complete picture of their store performance in one go. This MCP integration changes how you track market movements. Instead of manually querying different endpoints, your IDE plans the entire research run, executes the API calls, and drops the organized data right into your workspace.

Track category shifts and search volume

Keep tabs on where your app stands against the competition. This MCP Server uses `get_category_rankings` and `get_keyword_volume` to monitor search trends and ranking history over time. You don't have to leave your code editor to check if a recent deployment impacted your organic search visibility. Your IDE pulls keyword difficulty and volume metrics directly into your development loop. This lets you write code while staying fully aware of how your app ranks for critical search terms.

Analyze user sentiment and reviews

Cascade digs into what your users actually think by pulling live feedback data. By running `get_app_reviews` and `get_review_stats`, the editor fetches rating distributions and raw reviews to surface bug reports or feature requests. It links these user complaints directly to your current backlog. This setup connects app store feedback to your active workspace. You get direct access to user pain points without switching to an external browser or console.
