Will the AI make up facts about my product?

The draft is built to use only your own website. Facts it cannot verify there stay blank and marked, and you can review and change every field before anything goes live.

Can I use Biz Startup Launcher in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, it works with all of them. Add the MCP server URL as a custom connector or MCP server; reading is instant, and the first write sends you to a browser to connect your account.

Could an AI assistant vote or pay in my place?

No. Votes only ever come from people using the site, and an assistant cannot pay: the API hands back a checkout link that you open and pay on yourself.

Do I have to pay for the API?

No charge for the API or the MCP server: both are free within the published rate limits. A paid launch or other purchase is priced on the pricing page.

Does Biz Startup Launcher have an API?

Yes: /api/v1 is the free REST API (OpenAPI) and /mcp is the remote MCP server. No sign-in is needed to read public data; to submit or manage your listings you sign in to your account with OAuth or an API key.

Biz Startup Launcher ground station: API and MCP

Biz Startup Launcher is open to your own code and to AI assistants. Search every launch, read leaderboards and founder stories, submit your product by website address, edit your listing and get a checkout link for paid launches. The REST API and the MCP server share one set of rules and do the same things.

MCP server: https://bizstartuplauncher.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
REST API: https://bizstartuplauncher.com/api/v1
OpenAPI 3.1: https://bizstartuplauncher.com/api/v1/openapi.json
Sign-in: OAuth 2.1 for apps, or a personal key from API keys
Version: 1.0.0 (changelog)

Use it with your AI assistant

Use https://bizstartuplauncher.com/mcp as the address of a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. You might ask “What launched this week in my category?”, “Find alternatives to my competitor” or “Launch my product https://example.com”. Reads work straight away. Your first change opens a browser in the app so you can connect your account. Step-by-step for each app.

Rules that always apply

Prices come from Biz Startup Launcher's pricing (list_products), in US dollar cents, excluding VAT.
An AI draft cites what the product's own website says. Where it finds nothing, the field stays blank and marked; it is never invented.
Paid placements, meaning the billboard and sponsorships, always carry a label saying that they are paid. Community rankings are built from votes alone.
Votes are for people, not programs: nothing you call through the API or MCP server can vote, and only visitors on Biz Startup Launcher do.
The API never handles card details. It hands back a checkout link, and the person opens it and pays there themselves.
