Description
LaunchDistro is a specialized service designed to automate and optimize the process of submitting startups to online directories. It functions as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, integrating with popular AI applications such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, and VS Code. This integration allows users to leverage AI agents to plan, submit, and verify directory listings directly from their preferred AI chat interface.

The core functionality revolves around a comprehensive catalog of over 500 startup directories, each equipped with a tested "playbook." These playbooks guide the AI agent on what information each form requires, the specifics of free plans, potential pitfalls, and where human intervention might be necessary. Users describe their product once in a profile, and the AI agent uses this information to accurately fill out forms in the user's own browser, ensuring data consistency and security as passwords and cookies remain on the user's device.
A key differentiator of LaunchDistro is its rigorous verification process. Unlike services that merely confirm submission, LaunchDistro's agent opens the public listing page, finds the submitted link, and reads its `rel` attribute to confirm it is live and whether it is dofollow or nofollow. This ensures that users are only counting actual, verifiable backlinks. For Pro plan users, placed links are re-checked weekly, with alerts for any changes.
LaunchDistro addresses common challenges in directory submission, such as CAPTCHAs, logins, and payment steps, by pausing and prompting the user for manual input in their browser. This hybrid approach combines AI efficiency with human oversight, maintaining security and control. The platform offers flexible pricing, including a free tier for 10 submissions, a one-time "Launch" plan for a single product, and a "Pro" subscription for unlimited submissions across multiple products and enhanced features like weekly link monitoring.
