What it does

The places (directories, launch sites, newsletters, communities, subreddits, marketplaces, press and review pages, and curated GitHub lists) come from the public domain awesome-submitlist catalog, read fresh on every run. Each row carries the submission link, price, link type, audience, rules, and a fit score against your description. The actor checks each submission page live, with robots.txt obeyed: up, moved to another site, parked, gone, login first, submit form found, prices shown, and the newest date on the page. A Tranco popularity rank is added per site. One free summary row closes each run.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-launch-directory-list-builder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-launch-directory-list-builder"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The build_launch_directory_list tool appears.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

Example prompts

• "Where should I launch my AI meeting notes tool for sales teams? Give me the 25 best fits."
• "List free directories that give a dofollow link, and check which ones are still up."
• "Which launch sites have a submit form and showed activity this month?"

Tool

build_launch_directory_list. One tool. Example arguments:

{
  "product_description": "AI meeting notes tool for B2B sales teams",
  "categories": [
    "saas",
    "ai"
  ],
  "max_rows": 25
}

Inputs

Every buyer facing input of the actor. Omitted inputs take the actor's own defaults.

Pricing

Pay per event on Apify, billed to your Apify account. Prices in USD.

The run summary row, input refusal rows, places whose page the live check could not read, and places skipped with only_new are free. Mamba Labs pays the platform costs of the run, Apify proxy traffic included.
