io.makerradarPublished by makerradar.ioOfficial publisherv1.0.0Updated Nov 4, 2026
Search MakerRadar's launched products: details, alternatives, comparisons, weeks.
MakerRadar's MCP server lets an assistant search a directory of launched products and, when signed in, draft and manage the user's own listings.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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/io.makerradar%2Fmcp/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}[npm] [CI] [MCP server] [License: MIT]
The official command-line client for MakerRadar, the launch platform and product directory. Search the directory, follow the weekly launch board, draft a listing for your product and manage your listings from the terminal, by hand or from a script or an AI agent.
makerradar login connects with a code you approve in the browser. The
CLI never sees your password, can't vote, comment or review, and never pays.--json prints the API's own JSON, errors are JSON on stderr, and exit
codes are stable.Docs: makerradar.io/cli · API reference: makerradar.io/developers · MCP server: makerradar.io/mcp
Needs Node.js 20 or newer.
Or run it without installing: npx makerradar <command>.
MakerRadar's MCP server lets an AI assistant search the directory and, signed in, manage your
listings. It's remote — nothing to install — and this repository is its public home: the
registry entry (io.makerradar/mcp), the setup for every client, and a stdio bridge.
Both speak Streamable HTTP (protocol 2025-06-18 and later); the server card is at
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json and the
docs at makerradar.io/mcp. Every tool carries a title and a
read-only / write annotation. No tool votes, comments or reviews; a checkout hands the person a
payment page — the agent never pays.
Set it up in one line. makerradar mcp <client> prints the exact config for your client:
A client that can only start a local command (or a catalog that lists installable servers) runs the bridge instead. It relays each JSON-RPC message to the remote server and prints every answer — nothing is interpreted locally:
Add "--account" to the arguments (and sign in with makerradar login, or set MAKERRADAR_TOKEN)
to serve /mcp/account with your token so the assistant can manage your listings.
Tools on the public server: search_products, get_product, get_alternatives,
compare_products, list_categories, list_current_launches, get_launch_week, top_products,
draft_listing, get_pricing, connect_account / connect_account_finish. On the account server,
also: get_my_account, list_my_listings, get_my_listing, submit_listing, update_listing,
get_listing_options, set_quick_answers, add_listing_image, remove_listing_photo,
set_listing_cover, get_launch_options, choose_launch, start_ownership_check,
verify_ownership, get_badge_snippet, start_checkout, list_my_orders.
Found it in a directory? Listings on the MCP Registry, Glama, the Claude and ChatGPT directories and friends all point here. A listing that says something this README doesn't is stale: open an issue.
makerradar login uses the device flow: it prints a link and a short code, you open the link, sign
in to MakerRadar, check the code and approve. The CLI then gets an agent token for your account
(mr_…). It's never your password or session, and you can revoke it any time in Dashboard › AI
agents.
The token is saved to ~/.config/makerradar/config.json (%APPDATA%\makerradar\config.json on
Windows), readable only by you, and written atomically, so a crash never leaves half a file. Tokens
are kept per API URL, so a staging login never stands in for production. In CI or for an agent,
pass a token with MAKERRADAR_TOKEN instead.
Where a token goes:
MAKERRADAR_TOKEN is sent only to the API the environment names (MAKERRADAR_API_URL, or
production). An --api-url pointing anywhere else doesn't get it; pass --token for that API.http, except to this machine (localhost, 127.0.0.1,
[::1]). login needs https for the same reason.--json prints exactly what the API answered ({ "data": … }, plus nextCursor on lists).--json it's JSON:
{"error":"not_found","status":404,"message":"…","hint":"…","docs":"…"}.0 done · 1 the API refused, or couldn't be reached · 2 a usage mistake (unknown
command or option, missing argument). A usage mistake never calls the API.The CLI's API client is exported too:
server.json is the MCP Registry entry (mcp-publisher publish sends it; npm version keeps its
package version in step), glama.json names the maintainers for Glama's index, and mcpName in
package.json is how the registry checks the npm package is ours. Pushing a vX.Y.Z tag publishes
both — npm, then the registry — through the release workflow.
No dependencies. The CLI calls only MakerRadar's public, versioned API (/v1). Every endpoint it
uses is listed in src/operations.js, and the contract test checks each one
against the published OpenAPI document every day.
Bugs and ideas: open an issue.

Search products
Search MakerRadar's directory of launched products by keyword (matches name and tagline), ranked by all-time upvotes. Narrow it by platform, audience, use case or the country it's based in (combined, a product matches them all); an unknown value is an error naming the valid ones. Omit everything to list the most-upvoted products.
limitquerycountryuseCaseaudienceplatformGet a product
Get the full public details of one product by its slug.
slugrequiredThis week's launches
List the products on MakerRadar's live launch board (this ISO week's, or the last week until the new one opens), ranked by upvotes.
Takes no parameters.

Alternatives to a product
List the alternatives to one product (by its slug) in the order its alternatives page ranks them: editor's picks first, then makers' own declarations, then by relevance and upvotes.
slugrequiredlimitCompare two products
Compare two products (by their slugs): each one's public details side by side, which has more community upvotes, and the comparison page.
arequiredbrequiredA launch week's results
Get one launch week's full results (by its week, e.g. week-41-2026), ranked by upvotes — any week since MakerRadar began, not only the live one.
weekrequiredDraft a listing for a person to submit
Draft a listing on MakerRadar for the person you're helping: give their product's website and, optionally, a name, tagline and description. Returns reviewUrl, a link the person opens to sign in, check the listing and submit it; nothing is published until they do (and MakerRadar reviews it). If the site is already listed, returns its page instead. No sign-in needed.
urlrequirednametaglinedescriptionConnect to a person's account
Ask the person you're helping to let you act for their MakerRadar account. Returns a short code and a link: show them both, they sign in and approve you on MakerRadar. Then call connect_account_finish with deviceCode until it returns your token. No sign-in needed to start.
clientFinish connecting
After connect_account: trade deviceCode for your agent token once the person has approved. Returns status pending (ask again after `interval` seconds), denied, expired, or approved with the token — shown once; send it as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every call.
deviceCoderequiredYour account
Who you're acting for on MakerRadar: the account an agent token belongs to, whether it's ready to list products, and what the token may do. Needs an agent token (Authorization: Bearer mr_…).
Takes no parameters.
Your listings
The listings of the account you act for on MakerRadar, newest first: each one's status (draft, in review, live…), its page once public, and where its maker manages it. Needs an agent token with listings:read.
Takes no parameters.
Submit a listing
Submit a product as a draft listing on MakerRadar, owned by the person you act for: its website and, optionally, a name, tagline and description (we fill in the rest from the site). Already listed sites come back as listed instead. Then get_my_listing, and choose_launch to send it for review. Needs listings:write.
urlrequirednametaglinedescriptionOne of your listings
One listing of the person you act for, by id: everything you can edit (copy, category, pricing, price from, where it's based, best for, demo video, technologies, platforms, audiences, tags, links elsewhere, quick answers, logo and photos with their ids), its status, what's left to make it complete, and whether it can be sent for review. Needs listings:read.
productIdrequiredEdit a listing
Change any of a listing's details: name, tagline, description, category, pricingModel, priceFrom, basedIn, bestFor, demoVideo, technologies, platforms, audiences, tags, links. Send only what changes; null or an empty list clears a field. Categories, technologies, platforms, audiences and tags are slugs from get_listing_options. A demo video must be a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom or Arcade link to a real, public video. Links are the listing's pages elsewhere (X, GitHub, LinkedIn, App Store, Google Play, Product Hunt, YouTube channel, Discord, Instagram), one per kind. A draft changes at once; on a live listing a new name, category, video or link, or a rewrite, waits for review. Needs listings:write.

Choose Free or Premium (and optionally a week, as get_launch_options names it) and send the listing for review. MakerRadar reviews every listing before it goes live. Needs launches:write.
tierrequiredweekproductIdrequiredStart proving the site is theirs
Start proving the person controls a listing's website: method dns_txt, html_file or meta_tag returns a token and exactly where to put it. If you can deploy the site or edit its DNS, place it, then call verify_ownership. A proven owner can't have the listing taken over. Needs listings:write.
methodrequiredproductIdrequiredVerify the site is theirs
Check the token from start_ownership_check is in place; if it is, the person becomes the listing's verified owner. DNS can take a few minutes to show. Needs listings:write.
productIdrequiredAdd a logo or photo
Add a listing's logo (kind logo, replaces the old one) or a photo (kind photo) from a public https image URL. We fetch and check it like an upload; on a live listing it waits for review. Needs listings:write.
alturlrequiredkindrequiredproductIdrequiredWhat a listing's fields accept
Everything update_listing accepts: the categories, technologies, platforms, audiences and tags to pick from (by slug), the pricing models, currencies and price periods, the demo video hosts, the link kinds with an example of each, and each field's limits. Call it before editing so you never guess a value. Needs listings:read.
Takes no parameters.
Set a listing's quick answers
Replace a listing's quick answers (the questions buyers ask, answered by the maker): up to 6, each a question of 8–140 characters and an answer of 2–600. An empty list removes them. On a live listing, answers that add a link or are mostly rewritten wait for review. Needs listings:write.
answersrequiredproductIdrequiredRemove a photo
Remove one photo from a listing's gallery, by its id from get_my_listing. It's gone at once. Needs listings:write.
photoIdrequiredproductIdrequiredChoose the cover photo
Make one of a listing's photos (by its id from get_my_listing) the cover its page leads with. Needs listings:write.
photoIdrequiredproductIdrequiredThe badge for their site
The HTML badge for the listing's own website: put it on the homepage and, while it's there, the listing earns what MakerRadar's badge earns (the answer says what). Needs listings:read.
productIdrequiredPrices
What a listing can buy on MakerRadar — Premium launch, featured and boosted weeks, ads, newsletter sponsorship, done-for-you submissions — each with its id, today's price and what it gets. Use before start_checkout. No sign-in needed.
Takes no parameters.
Start a checkout for them to pay
Start a checkout for the person you act for: an item from get_pricing for one of their listings (a placement needs the listing approved first). Returns checkoutUrl, the payment page: give it to the person to pay — you never pay, and nothing is charged until they do. We also email them the link. Holds a week's spot while they pay. Needs billing:checkout.
itemrequiredweekweekscouponproductIdrequiredYour orders
The orders of the person you act for, newest first: what each bought, for which listing and week, and whether it's paid. Use after start_checkout to see when they've paid. Needs billing:checkout.
Takes no parameters.
100% of the applicable checks met
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.
