Details

From the project README

SaaSCity MCP server

An MCP server for launching a product. Your AI agent can audit your homepage before launch, pick launch directories out of 1,600+ with Ahrefs DR, link type and price, and list the product on SaaSCity.

  • Remote, keyless: https://saascity.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP). No account, no API key.
  • Stdio: npx -y saascity-mcp for clients that only run local servers. It forwards to the hosted server.
  • Protocol: MCP 2026-07-28 (stateless) and the initialize-based versions 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26 and 2024-11-05, all on one endpoint.

Built by SaaSCity, the launch directory for SaaS and AI tools. Full docs: saascity.io/mcp

Tools

ToolWhat it does
check_launch_readinessAudits a homepage the way directory scrapers and link-preview bots see it: HTTPS, noindex, title, meta description, og:image (fetched to confirm it loads), X card, favicon, canonical, viewport, h1, JSON-LD, robots.txt, sitemap, parked or 404 pages, response time, and pages that are empty without JavaScript. Returns a 0-100 score, a verdict and a fix for each problem.
recommend_launch_directoriesHand-picked directories for SaaS, AI or developer tools, grouped by when to submit. Each pick has a human-written verdict, including the ones not worth paying for.
find_launch_directoriesFilters the full dataset (1,600+ startup, SaaS and AI directories) by category, minimum DR, dofollow/nofollow, price and badge-swap requirement. Unverified fields come back as unknown instead of a guess.
get_launch_directoryLooks up one directory by domain or URL before you pay for a listing.
submit_projectLists a product on SaaSCity as an inert draft and returns a claim link. Nothing is published or charged until a human opens it, and every listing is reviewed by a person.
check_badgeChecks whether the SaaSCity badge is live on a site (a verified badge makes the listing link dofollow).
get_submission_statusWhere a submission stands, by claim token or listing slug.
get_launch_weeksFree slots left in the next 12 weekly launches.
get_offersListing tiers and prices.
search_listingsSearches products listed on SaaSCity by keyword and category.
get_listingOne listing in full.
get_leaderboardMost upvoted launches this week, in the last 30 days, or all time.
find_alternativesOther listings in the same category as a given one.

Every tool declares an outputSchema and returns structuredContent next to its text, plus readOnlyHint and the other behavior hints. Only submit_project writes anything, and it writes only a draft.

Prompts

  • plan_launch (website_url, product_type): audit, fix the blockers, pick directories, produce a dated launch checklist.
  • submit_to_saascity (website_url): draft a listing from the site, confirm it with you, then submit it.

Try it

Check if https://example.com is ready to launch, then give me a two-week launch plan for an AI tool using free dofollow directories.

Is uneed.best worth it? What's its DR and is the link dofollow?

List my product on SaaSCity. The site is https://example.com.

Data and limits

  • DR is Ahrefs Domain Rating. drCheckedAt is the date of its last recheck, or null when the value comes from the last sweep of the list. Link type and price come from checks against the live sites, dated by dataUpdatedAt. Rows nobody has verified say unknown.
  • The data is the same as on Best SaaS Directories and Best AI Directories.
  • Rate limits are per IP: submit_project 5 per day, check_launch_readiness 20 per hour, check_badge 30 per hour, everything else 30-60 per minute.
  • The server keeps no session and needs no cookies. The claim link from submit_project is the only way a draft becomes a listing.

New to MCP?

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.
