Aback Launch

Aback Launch MCP server

A free, read-only remote MCP server. Your AI assistant can read launches, search the site, choose launch platforms and check character limits, with no key.

Endpoint

https://abacklaunch.com/mcp. Streamable HTTP transport, stateless, JSON responses. Server name aback-launch, version 1.0.0. Server card: /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

No authentication is needed for public data. To let an assistant read your own listings and stats, connect your account when the client asks (OAuth, read-only, scope account:read); see /auth.md.

Add it to your client

Claude Code

Run in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http aback-launch https://abacklaunch.com/mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aback-launch": {
      "url": "https://abacklaunch.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "aback-launch": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://abacklaunch.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste the URL:

https://abacklaunch.com/mcp

Any other client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP works the same way: give it the endpoint URL.

Tools

All 13 tools are read-only.

  • search_aback_launchSearch launched products, guides, categories, tags and pages on Aback Launch.
  • get_top_launchesThe top products launched on Aback Launch this week, this month or of all time, in leaderboard order.
  • get_launchOne product launched on Aback Launch: what it does, who it is for, pricing and platforms, its FAQ and links.
  • find_launch_platformsWhere to launch or list a product: launch platforms, startup and AI directories, review sites and communities, with who each suits and whether its link is dofollow (only when checked on real listings).
  • get_launch_platformOne launch platform or directory in full, with a step-by-step launch guide when there is one.
  • compare_launch_platformsTwo launch platforms side by side, with a written verdict on which to choose when there is one.
  • check_character_limitCount text the way a platform field does (Product Hunt tagline, App Store subtitle, Google Play short description, X post...) and say whether it fits and what gets cut off.
  • define_termA glossary definition (dofollow link, GEO, Show HN, launch week...). Without a slug, lists every term.
  • list_promptsThe prompt library: task briefs a coding agent can follow to fix a site's SEO, AI visibility and launch readiness (pre-launch audit, llms.txt, structured data, sitemaps...). Each has a slug for get_prompt.
  • get_promptOne prompt from the library, rendered for the site's stack: the job, ground rules (read first, plan, wait for approval), limits, steps and what done looks like. Follow it in the user's codebase, starting with the plan.
  • list_free_toolsThe free tools on Aback Launch: SEO and AI search checkers, launch helpers, character limit and image size checkers.
  • askA question in plain words ("free launch platforms with dofollow links", "a prompt to add llms.txt"), answered only from Aback Launch's own pages: listings, the launch platform database, prompts, tools and the glossary. Returns the matching pages with links, and a short cited answer when answers are turned on.
  • get_my_accountThe signed-in member's own listings on Aback Launch: review status, launch date, votes, AI-readiness score and badge, with page views, visitors and clicks for the last 30 days. Needs the member to connect their account (OAuth, scope account:read).

Limits and more

120 requests a minute per IP, shared with the REST API; a connected account gets 600. The same data is in the Aback Launch API, and the versioning policy covers both.
