Details
From the project READMEProduct Hunt Launches Feed MCP Server
An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Product Hunt Daily Launches with Maker Domains actor on Apify. Pick the days, and get one row per Product Hunt launch with the maker names, the product's website and company domain, its X and LinkedIn links, votes, rank, and topics.

What it does
The actor reads Product Hunt's public daily launch pages and each launch's product page through the Apify proxy, with robots.txt obeyed. The public daily page shows the day's top featured launches. With your own Product Hunt developer token (product_hunt_token), the daily lists come from the official Product Hunt API instead, and include_unfeatured adds the launches Product Hunt did not feature. Filter by topic, keyword, or minimum votes, and use only_new on a schedule. Each day also returns one free summary row.
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-product-hunt-launches-feed": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-product-hunt-launches-feed"],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
}
}
}
}
Restart the client. The get_product_hunt_launches tool appears.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or newer.
- An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as
APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.
Example prompts
- "List yesterday's Product Hunt launches in AI with their company domains and makers."
- "Which developer tools launched on Product Hunt this week with more than 200 votes?"
- "Get the launches of 2026-10-27 into a table."

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
