# Product Hunt Launches Feed MCP Server

An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Product Hunt Launches Feed actor on Apify. Pick the days, and get one row per Product Hunt launch with the maker names, the product's website and company domain, its X and LinkedIn links, votes, rank, and topics.

## What it does

The actor reads Product Hunt's public daily launch pages and each launch's product page through the Apify proxy, with robots.txt obeyed. The public daily page shows the day's top featured launches. With your own Product Hunt developer token (`product_hunt_token`), the daily lists come from the official Product Hunt API instead, and `include_unfeatured` adds the launches Product Hunt did not feature. Filter by topic, keyword, or minimum votes, and use `only_new` on a schedule. Each day also returns one free summary row.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

## Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`), Cursor, or any MCP client:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-product-hunt-launches-feed": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-product-hunt-launches-feed"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart the client. The `get_product_hunt_launches` tool appears.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18 or newer.
- An Apify API token from [console.apify.com/account/integrations](https://console.apify.com/account/integrations), set as `APIFY_TOKEN`. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

## Example prompts

- "List yesterday's Product Hunt launches in AI with their company domains and makers."
- "Which developer tools launched on Product Hunt this week with more than 200 votes?"
- "Get the launches of 2026-10-27 into a table."

## Tool

`get_product_hunt_launches`. One tool. Example arguments:

```json
{
  "days_back": 1,
  "topics": [
    "Artificial Intelligence"
  ],
  "max_launches": 50
}
```
