Add it to Claude, Cursor, Codex or VS Code with one line, nothing to install. Your AI app picks directories that fit your product, fills each form in your own browser from a tested playbook, and checks every link went live.
LaunchDistro has 50 directories ready to submit to, each with a playbook tested on a real submission, and it counts a link as live only after opening the public page and reading its rel attribute.
Run this once in a terminal (or ask Claude Code to run it). It adds LaunchDistro for every project:
An MCP server that gives an AI app like Claude or Cursor SEO tools. Most only read data: keywords, rankings, backlinks. LaunchDistro does the work: it submits your startup to directories from tested playbooks, stops for you at sign-ins, and counts a link only once it's live.
Each guide covers where the config lives, how to check it's connected and what to ask first.
Claude Code with one command, Claude Desktop with a connector URL.
Add the server's URL and your token to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
The Codex CLI, the IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share one config.
Agent mode in chat, added with one code --add-mcp command.
Search for an SEO MCP server and you'll find servers for keyword data, rankings and backlink research. They answer questions. None of them fills in a directory form, and that's the slow part of getting your first backlinks.
They work well together: ask a data MCP which directories your competitors are listed on, then ask LaunchDistro to submit you to the ones in its catalogue.
Copy a prompt into Claude, Cursor or Codex. Each line under it is the tool your agent calls.
“Read my README and landing page, write my product profile, and show it to me before you save it.”
Drafts name, tagline, descriptions and categories from what it reads, then saves them
“Plan a campaign of 10 directories that fit my product, DR 50 or higher, dofollow only.”
Filters the tested catalogue by authority, link type and category, and lists them for you
“Submit to the first 3 directories in the campaign. Tell me when a sign-in or CAPTCHA needs me.”
Fills each form in your browser from its tested playbook, and pauses at every human gate
“Check which of my listings are live, and whether each link is dofollow or nofollow.”
Opens each public listing, finds your link and reads its rel attribute
Your AI app reads these names and descriptions itself and picks the right one, so you never have to call them by hand.

Your AI app connects with one line or one URL and a token made for that app, which you can revoke on its own.
Each directory has a playbook tested on a real submission: what the form asks, what the free plan really gives, where to stop. Your agent reads it before it touches the form.
Your agent fills the form in your own Chrome, signed in as you. At a sign-in, a CAPTCHA, a fee or a terms box it stops and asks you.
Once a directory approves you, the link is checked on the public page and its rel read. On Pro it is checked again every week.
What reaches our servers: your account, one token per AI app, your product profile and what your agent records. The forms are filled in your browser, so cookies, sessions and passwords never do.
