Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant AI-analyzed startup opportunities gathered from Reddit, Hacker News and Product Hunt, with commercial scores.

What you can do
  • Retrieve AI-analyzed startup opportunities sourced from Reddit, Hacker News and Product Hunt.
  • Read an overview of available opportunities and their commercial scores.
  • Inspect individual opportunities in detail.
  • Access further tools beyond overview and opportunity lookup with a Pro plan.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to surface or discuss startup and product ideas with commercial scoring, or to browse opportunity data from community sources without collecting it yourself.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at painspotter.ai over streamable HTTP. An API key sent in the X-API-Key header is required; keys start with psk_live_ and are created in the provider's account area. The free tier covers only the overview and opportunity tools; a Pro plan unlocks the rest.
Before you install
You must supply a PainSpotter API key in the X-API-Key header, and the assistant's requests are sent to the provider's remote service. Full tool access requires a paid Pro plan, so expect a subscription cost. Opportunity data is AI-analyzed third-party content and should be verified before acting on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Painspotter in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect X-API-Key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.painspotter%2Fpainspotter/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

This server asks for a credential such as an API key, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without one and has not indexed them.
