BetaFinds
Publish and update your startup on BetaFinds from an AI agent — listings, changelog, releases.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http betafinds 'https://betafinds.com/api/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Authorization>'
{
"mcpServers": {
"betafinds": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://betafinds.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "<Authorization>"
}
}
}
}

BetaFinds MCP Server
Publish and update your startup on BetaFinds straight from an AI agent.
BetaFinds is a directory for early-stage startups — discover, upvote and discuss new projects. This is its official Model Context Protocol server: point an AI agent (Claude, Cursor, …) at it and it can create your listing, post changelog updates, and upload release files for you.
- Endpoint:
https://betafinds.com/api/mcp— Streamable HTTP, hosted (nothing to install) - Auth: Bearer token, created at https://betafinds.com/profile
- Full API docs: https://betafinds.com/api.txt
- Auto-discovery: https://betafinds.com/.well-known/mcp.json
Why
Filling out submission forms — description, screenshots, links, release files — is the tedious part of launching. If you already build with an AI agent, you can skip the form entirely:
"Upload my project to betafinds.com" — then hand the agent your API token.
Quickstart (Claude Code)
- Create an API token at https://betafinds.com/profile (format:
blt_…). - Add the server:
claude mcp add betafinds https://betafinds.com/api/mcp \ --transport http \ --header "Authorization: Bearer blt_YOUR_TOKEN" - Ask your agent: "List my startups on BetaFinds", or "Publish an update to <startup>: shipped dark mode and fixed the onboarding flow."
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json via mcp-remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"betafinds": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://betafinds.com/api/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer blt_YOUR_TOKEN"
]
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_my_startups | List your startups and their slugs (start here) |
list_categories | List available categories (by slug) |
create_startup | Create a new startup listing (submitted for moderation) |
update_startup | Update an existing startup's fields |
upload_image | Upload a logo or screenshot; returns an image URL |
publish_update | Post a "what's new" entry to a startup's changelog feed |
create_release | Create a release (version) for Windows / macOS / Android / Linux |
request_asset_upload | Get a presigned URL to upload a release file |
complete_asset_upload | Finalize a release-file upload |
get_releases | List a startup's public releases |
Typical flow
Publishing a new build end to end:
create_release → request_asset_upload (per file) → PUT the file → complete_asset_upload
Subscribers of the startup receive an email digest within ~10 minutes of a published update.
Notes
- The server is hosted and stateless (Streamable HTTP) — there is nothing to run locally.
- Listing is free; new startups go through moderation before appearing.
- A Russian-language sibling runs the same protocol at BetaList.ru
