—Claude Desktop & Claude Code

Claude SEO that submits your startup to directories.

LaunchDistro gives Claude the tools to submit your startup to directories. It picks the ones that fit, fills each form in your own browser from a tested playbook, and checks every backlink went live.

Run this once in a terminal (or ask Claude Code to run it). It adds LaunchDistro for every project:

$claude mcp add --scope user --transport http launchdistro https://launchdistro.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

—Definition

What is LaunchDistro for Claude?

LaunchDistro is an MCP server that handles the backlink part of SEO for Claude: Claude submits your startup to directories in your own browser, from tested playbooks, and LaunchDistro checks each link on the live page. Nothing to install. It stops for sign-ins and CAPTCHAs. It works in Claude Desktop and Claude Code, and also in Cursor, Codex and VS Code.

—Why founders use it

Your launch, from the Claude chat you already have open.

Plans the launch with you

Claude reads your product profile and the catalog.

Ask in plain words. Claude searches the catalog by authority, link type and category, then tells you which directories fit your product and why. It says so when you ask for more than is wise for a new domain.

Playbooks, not guesses

Each one tested on a real submission.

Before it touches a form, Claude reads that directory's playbook: what the form asks, what the free plan really gives, the traps and where to stop. It fills from your product profile, so it never invents your tagline.

Checks the link, not the thank-you page

A listing counts once the link is on the live page.

verify_link opens your public listing, finds the link to your site and reads its rel. On Pro every live link is checked again each week, and you hear if one dropped or turned nofollow.

—Setup details

Where it fits in Claude SEO, and how to set it up.

Most Claude SEO tools audit and write. LaunchDistro gets the links. The setup details for both Claude apps follow.

  • What it adds to Claude SEO

    SEO skills for Claude Code audit pages, write schema and plan content. None of them submits your product anywhere. LaunchDistro is the part that places your first backlinks on real directories and keeps checking they stay live, so it pairs with those skills rather than replacing them.
  • Claude Desktop

    Customize, then Connectors, then + and Add custom connector. Name it LaunchDistro and paste the URL from the Claude Desktop tab, with your token in it. To fill forms Claude needs a browser: Claude in Chrome works in the Chrome you already use, signed in to the directories as you.
  • Claude Code

    The Claude Code line adds it for every project (--scope user). /mcp in a session shows whether it connected; claude mcp list lists everything configured. Claude Code can also edit your site's footer when a directory asks for a badge: it shows you the diff, and committing and deploying stay with you.
  • Your token

    Each AI app gets its own token, made on the dashboard and shown once. Revoke one and the others keep working. It stands in for <your-token> in the setup box.
