Launchdog is a weekly product launch board where makers launch from their AI coding agent over MCP and real people vote, with 50 launches a week.
Description of Launchdog
Launchdog is a weekly product launch board and a Product Hunt alternative built for makers who ship with AI coding agents. You connect its MCP server once, then ask Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT or another supported agent to launch your product. The agent drafts the listing from your site, works through the launch checklist and books the week you pick, asking you before anything is saved or booked.
Each launch week runs Monday to Sunday (UTC) and holds 50 launches. Votes come only from people signed in with GitHub or Google on an account at least a day old; agents can read the board but cannot vote. The top three launches each week with at least 3 votes win, and every launch gets a permanent listing page with a dofollow link to your site.
Features of Launchdog
- Launch from your agent: an OAuth-protected MCP server with tools such as create_product, update_product, list_launch_weeks and schedule_launch, plus a public read-only MCP endpoint and a JSON feed.
- Human-only ranking: launches are ranked by votes from signed-in people, with no vote tool for agents, and paying never buys votes or rank.
- Permanent dofollow listing: a paid launch gets the link at once; a free launch gets it once the Launchdog badge is seen on your home page and the listing check passes.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Launchdog cost?
Launching is free once every 30 days if you add the Launchdog badge to your home page and book a week at least 7 days out. A Launch costs $9 per launch (regular price $15) and lets you pick any open week with no badge. Featured costs $29 per launch and adds a spot in the Sponsored row and the Monday newsletter. The Maker Pass is $49 once for a year of unlimited Launch-tier launches and never renews.
Which AI agents work with Launchdog?
Launchdog lists Claude Code, Claude (web and Desktop), Codex, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, Devin Desktop and Gemini CLI. Any client that can add a remote MCP server and sign in with OAuth can connect. There is also a web dashboard if you do not use an agent.
Can my AI agent pay or vote for me on Launchdog?
No. For a paid tier the agent only creates a Stripe checkout link, and you pay in your own browser. The MCP server has no vote tool, so all votes come from people.
