PProduct Hunt MCP (official, remote)

Vendor-hosted
Tested Product Hunt's hosted MCP at https://mcp.producthunt.com/mcp (server producthunt-mcp 1.0.1), launched Nov 9, 2026. Initialize and tools/list over Streamable HTTP succeeded with no credentials and listed 19 tools (product search, alternatives, leaderboard, categories, launch drafting/scheduling, feedback). Real calls (no LLM, no credentials): get_categories returned the category tree; get_leaderboard {date:'2026-11-08',limit:3} returned the ranked Nov 8 leaderboard; find_alternatives {product_name:'notion'} returned rated alternatives (Craft.do, Fibery, ...). get_my_account returned 'Connect your Product Hunt account to use this tool.' (sign-in needed). Launch tools (start/update/submit_launch, prepare_launch_asset) were not called: they need a Product Hunt sign-in and act on a real account. No public source repository, so the vendor-hosted rule applies (license 0, 65 cap; not source-audited). Launch announced by @ProductHunt: https://x.com/ProductHunt/status/2119853187939381623.
Tool-call test (2026-11-10, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 public read calls passed anonymously; account tool needs sign-in. Launch-writing tools not called. Evidence: live endpoint probe, Nov 10, 2026.
Product Hunt-hosted endpoint. Initialize and tools/list worked without sign-in (19 tools); public read tools (categories, leaderboard, alternatives) answered anonymously, account/launch tools return a sign-in prompt. The server source isn't public, so license scores 0 and the vendor-hosted 65 cap applies (Our review, Nov 9, 2026).

Methodology: how we test (vendor-hosted rule). A high score means it responds and its vendor documents and dates it, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
