Be found when someone asks an assistant for a tool.
MegaLaunch publishes its catalog of independent products in formats assistants read: an MCP server, a public REST API, llms.txt and llms-full.txt. Every result links back to the product's MegaLaunch page.
- Read-only
- Keyless
- No sponsored ordering
How it works
Three steps between a question in an assistant and your product page.
List your product
Submit it with a precise tagline, a description, a category, a pricing model and the platforms it runs on. A free listing goes live 48 hours after you submit, once its link back is checked. Premium goes live as soon as payment is confirmed.
Assistants query MegaLaunch
Once connected to the MegaLaunch MCP server, Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can search the catalog. Scripts and apps use the REST API.
Your product comes up, with a link
Results carry your name, tagline, category, pricing, platforms, community votes and the URL of your MegaLaunch page to link to.
What agents can read
Published products only, with 18 public fields. The same data is visible on the product pages.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
slug | Unique identifier, also used in the page URL. |
name | Product name. |
tagline | One-line pitch written by the maker. |
description | Longer description written by the maker. |
megalaunchUrl | Canonical MegaLaunch page. Link this URL when you show the product. |
websiteUrl | The product website. |
domain | Host name of the website. |
logoUrl | Product logo. |
category | The MegaLaunch category. |
pricing | Pricing model: free, freemium, paid, subscription, one-time. |
platforms | Where the product runs, declared by the maker: web, ios, android, macos, windows, linux, browser-extension, api, cli, mcp. Empty when unknown. A product with ios or android is a mobile app. |
links | Official App Store and Google Play pages, or null. Each one is set only with its platform. |
tags | Tags chosen by the maker. |
verified | True when the launch carries the Verified launch badge (Premium). A label, never a ranking factor. |
community | Community votes (one per person) and comment count. |
awards | Frozen daily Top 3 results of the product: the UTC day and the rank, 1 to 3. |
publishedAt | Publication date (ISO 8601, UTC). |
updatedAt | Last update (ISO 8601, UTC). |
Categories, recent launches, the leaderboard (today, this week, this month, all time) and the frozen daily Top 3 are available too. See the endpoints and the 6 MCP tools.
What is never exposed
The API and the MCP server return public catalog data. Nothing private, nothing paid.
- Email addresses, user ids, maker ids and any account data
- Unpublished, scheduled or declined products
- Payment, review and moderation details
- IP addresses and visitor data
- Sponsored placements and any sponsored ordering
Connect
Pick the MCP server for assistants, or the REST API for scripts and apps.
REST API
JSON over HTTPS, no key.
curl "https://megalaun.ch/api/v1/products?q=analytics&pricing=free&limit=5"Machine-readable resources
Plain files that crawlers and agents can fetch without an integration.
- llms.txt
/llms.txtA plain-language summary of MegaLaunch and its main pages for language models. - llms-full.txt
/llms-full.txtEvery published product and every article in one text file. - OpenAPI
/api/v1/openapi.jsonThe OpenAPI 3.1 description of the REST API. - Sitemap
/sitemap.xmlEvery indexable page of the site. - RSS feed
/feed.xmlThe latest published products.
Make your listing AI-ready
Assistants match a question to your words. The clearer your listing, the better the match.
- A precise tagline. Say what the product does and for whom, in plain words.
- A useful description. The problem, the main features and who it is for.
- The right category. Agents can filter searches and launches by category.
- An accurate pricing model. Free, freemium, paid, subscription or one-time.
- The platforms it runs on. Agents can filter by platform, so an app declared on iOS or Android comes up when someone asks for a mobile app.
You can edit the name, tagline, description, website and platforms of your product from your dashboard. Category and pricing are chosen when you submit: to change them, contact us.

FAQ
Do I need a key or an account to use the API or the MCP server?
No. Both are free and keyless. The limits are 60 API requests and 30 MCP tool calls per minute per IP address.
Can an assistant submit or edit a product?
No. The API and the MCP server are read-only. Makers submit their products on MegaLaunch, and every listing follows our moderation policy.
Does Premium or a sponsored placement improve my position in AI answers?
No. Results never include sponsored placements or sponsored ordering, and paid options never change votes, scores or rankings. The verified field is returned as a label, never used to sort.
Can assistants find mobile apps?
Yes. Makers declare where their product runs: web, iOS, Android, desktop, browser extension, API, CLI or MCP server. The API and the MCP tools filter on one platform, so ios or android returns mobile apps, with their App Store and Google Play links when the maker added them.
How quickly do changes to my listing reach assistants?
MCP tool calls read live data, so a published edit shows up at once. REST API responses are cached for up to 5 minutes, so an edit can take that long to show there.
Which assistants can use the MCP server?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, Cursor and VS Code. The MCP server page has the setup for each one.
How should results be credited?
Link each product you show to its megalaunchUrl. It is the canonical page of the product on MegaLaunch.
