Launch Directory List Builder MCP Server

An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Launch Directory List Builder actor on Apify. Describe what you are launching and get a ranked list of places to submit it, each checked live today.

What's Inside

What it does

The places (directories, launch sites, newsletters, communities, subreddits, marketplaces, press and review pages, and curated GitHub lists) come from the public domain awesome-submitlist catalog, read fresh on every run. Each row carries the submission link, price, link type, audience, rules, and a fit score against your description. The actor checks each submission page live, with robots.txt obeyed: up, moved to another site, parked, gone, login first, submit form found, prices shown, and the newest date on the page. A Tranco popularity rank is added per site. One free summary row closes each run.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-launch-directory-list-builder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-launch-directory-list-builder"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The build_launch_directory_list tool appears.

Prerequisites
