MCP server
Launch Trophies's remote MCP server lets AI assistants use every operation of the API as tools.
- URL
https://launchtrophies.com/mcp- Transport
- Streamable HTTP (POST, JSON responses), stateless
- Protocol
- 2026-07-28, plus initialize-based 2025-03-26 to 2025-11-25
- Sign-in
- OAuth 2.1 per the MCP authorization spec (details), or an API key as a Bearer token
How sign-in works
Read tools work without signing in. When a tool needs your account, the server answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing to /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and the scopes needed. Your client then opens a browser, you sign in on Launch Trophies and choose Allow access, and the tool call is retried. If a token lacks a scope, the answer is 403 with error="insufficient_scope".
Prompts
launch_my_product: Launch my product: submit it by URL, review the AI draft, then publish (free or paid) (arguments:url)find_alternatives: Find alternatives to a product and compare them (arguments:product)relaunch_my_listing: Relaunch one of my listings in a new launch week (arguments:listing)
Resources
JSON resources for the site, the OpenAPI document, products and categories, and templates for https://launchtrophies.com/api/v1/listings/{slug}, categories, founders and blog posts.
Tools
Every tool has a JSON Schema for its input and hints: read-only, destructive, idempotent, open world. Errors come back as tool results with isError and a structured error object (codes).
