MCP server
Search MegaLaunch from your assistant.
The MegaLaunch MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients search published products, recent launches, the leaderboard and the daily Top 3. No key, no account.
- Streamable HTTP
- Keyless
- Read-only
- 6 tools
What it does
The server gives an assistant direct access to the MegaLaunch catalog, so it can answer with real listings instead of guesses, each with a link to its MegaLaunch page.
- Endpoint
https://megalaun.ch/api/mcp- Transport
- Streamable HTTP
- Authentication
- None
- Access
- Read-only, published products
Setup
Add the server once, then ask your questions in plain words. The server name in every config is megalaunch.
Claude Desktop and claude.ai
- Open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Name it MegaLaunch and paste the server URL
https://megalaun.ch/api/mcp. No OAuth client id or secret is needed. - Add it, then turn MegaLaunch on from the tools menu of a conversation.
A connector added on claude.ai is also available in Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner may need to add it for the organization first.
Cursor
Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"megalaunch": {
"url": "https://megalaun.ch/api/mcp"
}
}
}VS Code
Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace, then use its tools from Copilot Chat in agent mode:
{
"servers": {
"megalaunch": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://megalaun.ch/api/mcp"
}
}
}Another client? Any MCP client that supports remote servers over Streamable HTTP works with the URL above, without headers or keys.
