Questions

What is the Product Hunt MCP server?

It connects AI assistants to Product Hunt through the Model Context Protocol. Once connected, your assistant can search and compare products, read reviews, check the leaderboard, and prepare and submit launches for your account.

Can I launch my product from my AI assistant?

Yes. Your assistant can start a draft, add images, check it for missing details, and preview the launch. After you confirm, it submits the launch. You can also edit a submitted launch or move it to another day.

Will my assistant submit or change anything without asking?

Submitting, editing, and rescheduling each start with a preview of the exact change. The server tells your assistant to show you that preview and to wait for your confirmation before it continues.

What can it access in my account?

Your profile and the drafts and launches you can manage as a hunter, maker, or team member. Product search, reviews, and the leaderboard use public Product Hunt data.

Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in with your Product Hunt account in the browser and approve access. There’s no key or token to copy.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Any AI tool that supports remote MCP servers and OAuth sign-in with Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) or Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). The install guide above covers the most popular ones.

How do I disconnect?

Remove the server from your AI tool’s settings. To use it again, add it back and sign in with Product Hunt.
