Product Hunt MCP - The community you trust in the assistant you use
by•
Ask your AI assistant to find your next favorite product. Explore new launches, compare alternatives, and see what the Product Hunt community thinks. Building something yourself? Turn your README and website into a launch draft, add images, and check what's missing before you submit. Sign in with Product Hunt to connect. No API key needed.

Congrats on #1. The submit_feedback tool is such a great touch!
Used this today to set up a relaunch from Claude Code and it went way smoother than I expected. It wrote the draft, uploaded the gallery and scheduled it for next week.
Since you asked for specifics, two things I ran into:
The categories I picked didn't apply to my existing product, so the page still shows one from 2023 (which is very wrong, LOL). Is there a way to fix an old product's category?
I couldn't start a thread or reply in the forums from it. Would love that, since half of launch prep happens here.
@solomonlijo Thanks for following up!
We'll work to get more product-level editing tools into the MCP, which currently is focused on launches (that of course belong to products and share some common and sometimes overlapping data conceptually). For now, you should be able to edit the categories associated with your product by selecting "Edit product" on your product page and finding the option to update them down the page a bit.
To your second question, we're acutely aware that internet forums like ours have some challenges with the rise of AI-powered workflows and we know we still have a ways to go ensuring quality and authentic conversations in our product and discussion forums. All that's to say that we're treating direct comment support in an AI-native tool like the MCP with some extra attention and care. Hopefully more soon.
This is a great for early stage founders and devlopers having AI help discover tools compare options and explore new launches saves a lot of time Congrats @Product Hunt
this was much needed
This works great, saved me multiple copy paste from my Agent as we gear up to launch. Are you also planning to add support for comments and replies via MCP?
This is the use case I've actually been wanting — I already ask my assistant which tools to use, but it's been working from marketing copy. Comparing alternatives using real community reviews and ratings, and seeing what people liked or disliked, is a much better starting point. The launch-draft angle is interesting too — turning a README into a draft and flagging what's missing before submitting is something I'd try before my next launch. Curious how it handles 'what were the top products last month' — does it weight recent launches differently than older, well-reviewed ones?
Product Hunt helping you prepare for your Product Hunt launch. Very meta 😂 Love the idea of catching missing details before hitting submit.
finally, was looking to see if this existed yesterday
Since there are several tools for each task, how would Product Hunt decide which one would be the best tool for me and what would be the criteria for that selection?
Nice to see PH data available from inside the assistant. Since it can already turn a README into a launch draft, are replies to comments on your own launch on the roadmap too?
