Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search and compare a catalog of published AI tools, fetch tool details and alternatives, and submit listings or create promotion checkout link

What you can do
Searches the Launchelion catalog of live, published AI tools by free-text query and returns full public detail for one tool by slug, including launch date, revenue signals and for-sale status. It can also list same-category alternatives to a well-known tool. For makers, it submits a new tool as a non-public draft with a claim link, lists paid promotion add-ons, and creates a Stripe checkout link for a human to open.
When to use it
Use it when a user wants to find or compare AI tools by keyword or category, asks for alternatives to a well-known product, or a maker wants to submit their own tool for listing.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint; no local package to install. The manifest declares no authentication, environment variables or headers. Submitting a listing and buying add-ons require a person to finish the steps in a browser.
Before you install
submit_tool creates a draft listing and returns a claim link; it should only be used when the user explicitly wants to list their own tool. create_checkout produces a Stripe checkout link that may involve real payment and must be completed by a person in a browser, not treated as a finished purchase. Some tool and revenue data is self-reported.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Launchelion in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/com.launchelion%2Flaunchelion/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

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Tools

search_tools

Search AI tools

Search the Launchelion catalog of live, published AI tools by a free-text query. Matches on tool name, tagline, or category name (case-insensitive substring). Call this first when a user asks to find, discover, or compare AI tools by keyword, use-case, or category (e.g. 'agents', 'writing assistants'). Returns up to 20 results.

Parametersqueryrequired

get_tool

Get AI tool detail

Fetch the full public detail for one AI tool by its listing slug (as returned by search_tools' toolUrl, e.g. '/tools/acme-writer' -> slug 'acme-writer'). Call this after search_tools to get a tool's full description, launch date, revenue signals (verified or self-reported), and for-sale status. Returns null if the slug doesn't resolve to a live Launchelion listing.

Parametersslugrequired

list_alternatives

List alternatives to a tool

List live, same-category alternatives to a well-known AI tool (e.g. 'chatgpt', 'notion-ai', 'figma'). Call this when a user asks 'what are the alternatives to X' or wants competitors/substitutes for a named product. `target` is the well-known tool's slug, not a listing slug from this catalog.

Parameterstargetrequired

submit_tool

Submit a new AI tool

Submit a new AI tool to Launchelion on behalf of its maker. Creates a draft listing (not yet public) and returns a claimUrl the maker must visit to sign up and claim/publish it. Call this only when a user explicitly wants to list their own tool — never to submit a tool on someone else's behalf without their email. Rate-limited globally to 5 submissions per hour. Supply tagline, problemSolved, logoUrl and imageUrls whenever you can: they are what make the published listing look like a real product page rather than a stub.

list_offers

List paid add-ons (offers)

List the optional paid add-ons a maker can buy to promote their listing (name, one-sentence effect, price in USD). Listing is always free; these only ADD reach and are always labeled 'Sponsored'. Call this to see what's purchasable before create_checkout. During free early access (early-bird), offers are not yet purchasable and this says so (purchasable=false).

Takes no parameters.

create_checkout

Create a checkout link for a paid add-on

Create a Stripe checkout URL for one paid add-on on one listing, and return it for a HUMAN to open. Never present this as a completed purchase: nothing is charged until a person completes checkout in a browser. Returns an error when the listing doesn't exist, the add-on isn't purchasable yet (free early access), or payments aren't configured in this environment.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
