Microlaunch MCP server

Microlaunch is a launch platform and directory of tools and apps built by indie makers and startups (about 6,000 products). This MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP client browse that catalog by category, show today's top launches, look up products and find maker deals, with an interactive widget in hosts that support MCP Apps.

It is read-only and needs no API key or account.

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.
