Product Hunt's own hosted server at mcp.producthunt.com, over HTTPS. Seven discovery tools (search, categories, leaderboards, alternatives, product profiles) read public Product Hunt data without signing in. Sign in with OAuth (no API key) and it can also read your account and the launches you manage, rank recent launches by Product Hunt's Series A forecast, and start, edit, submit or reschedule a launch. Public edits, submitting and moving a launch day return a preview first, but Product Hunt's own tool text says the confirmation token proves a preview was shown, not that you approved it, so keep your AI tool's approval prompt on for submit_launch and update_launch. Signing in from a client's menu asks for every scope, including launch editing and ads. No advisories on record. Biggest deduction: the server is closed source with no public repo or dated changelog, so we can't check how often it's updated and scored maintenance one band lower.

Is Product Hunt MCP Server safe?
Is Product Hunt MCP Server safe to use?
Product Hunt MCP Server grades B (solid, with minor gaps). Login is required, but access is coarse: one sign-in or key covers more than your agent needs, so grant the narrowest account you can. Updates are occasional, so fixes may be slow to arrive.
Does Product Hunt MCP Server have known vulnerabilities?
Not in our current data: it has no open CVEs or advisories. We re-check as new ones are published.
Does Product Hunt MCP Server support authentication?
Yes. It requires a login, so access can be tied to a person or a scoped key.
