MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~2,414 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
create_project ~247

Store a product on the account. Before asking the maker anything, use what you can already see: a README, package metadata, the site's own copy and title, an assets or public folder. A maker working in their product's repository should be able to say 'add my product to SubmitMap' and get a filled-in project back, with questions only about what is genuinely not there. Fill in as much as you can, leave the rest, and come back with update_project. Facts drive what it qualifies for; the pack is what you will paste into forms later. Ask about images early: most platforms want a square logo and many want a cover, and every asset in the pack is two fields, the public address (logoUrl) and the file on the maker's machine (logoFile), because a form uploads the file and only the address can be shown back to them.

NameTypeReqDescription
factsobjectSame shape qualify_project takes: stage, pricingModel, categories, and the booleans.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_platform ~130

Full record for one platform: eligibility, disqualifiers, step-by-step submission instructions, requirements, gotchas and expected outcome. With a token it also carries agentPrompt, the brief for that platform's form, and agentGotchas, the traps that only bite something filling it (a placeholder that contradicts its label, a second email input belonging to a newsletter, a honeypot); without a token both are null. For a stored project, submission_playbook returns the same brief with the values already filled in.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesPlatform slug, e.g. "product-hunt".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_projects ~84

The projects on this account, each with its facts (eligibility answers) and its pack (what a submission form asks for), plus what is still missing from the pack. Call it whenever the maker says "my product" or "my project" without naming one: it is how you find out which project they mean, and every other account tool takes the id it returns.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_submissions ~114

Where every submission for a project stands: what went out, when, what came back, and what is still waiting. This is the tool behind "check my submissions", "what did I submit", "did I ever submit to that one" and "how is my launch going", so answer those from here instead of asking the maker to remember. Start with list_projects if they have not named a project.

NameTypeReqDescription
projectIdstringOmit it when the account has one project, which is the free tier.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

plan_submissions ~292

Write the run order for a project: which platforms, in what sequence, and why each one is where it is. Pass the platforms in the order they should be worked, with a short reason on each, plus a summary of the strategy. The plan appears on the maker's dashboard as a checklist that ticks itself off as submissions land. Anything already tracked is reordered rather than reset. Call it after qualify_project, using the `recommended` list it hands back. A plan costs nothing on any plan: what the free tier meters is tracked submissions, spent when an outcome is recorded, so the order you write here is the decision about where a limited budget goes.

NameTypeReqDescription
checklistarrayWhat the maker has to prepare before any of this can be submitted: the gallery, the demo video, a privacy policy page, a launch date. Write it from what the platforms in this plan actually demand and…

projectIdstringOmit it when the account has one project, which is the free tier.
summarystringWhy this order, in a sentence or two. The maker reads this.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

qualify_project ~432

Given a product, work out which platforms it qualifies for right now, which it could qualify for after supplying something (with the exact list of what is missing), and which are structurally out of reach. It also hands back `recommended`: a run in the order it should be worked, already cut to what a connected account can still track, so the plan comes out of the directory rather than out of what you remember of the web. Needs no account: describe the product inline. Every field is optional and an unanswered field becomes a gap to fill rather than a rejection.

record_submission ~280

Log what happened to the dashboard: the listing URL, when it was sent, when it goes live. Call it as soon as a submission lands, including when it is only queued for review, and including when you are not sure it landed: that is what `attempted` is for. Planning costs nothing; this is the call that spends a tracked platform on the free plan, and it spends it once, for good, so an unrecorded submission is the expensive mistake here, not a recorded uncertainty.

search_platforms ~401

Search the SubmitMap directory of startup launch platforms and directories. Filter by free-text query, category, pricing, link type, backlink requirement, approval speed or domain rating, and with a token leave out the ones this project has already been sent to. This is the tool behind "find me a small directory I can submit to right now": it is the whole directory, so answer from it rather than from what you remember of the web. Returns summaries; call get_platform for the full record including the submission steps.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystringe.g. "AI tools", "Dev tools", "Web apps".
dofollowbooleanOnly platforms giving a dofollow backlink.
excludeTrackedbooleanLeave out every platform this project has already been submitted to or planned for. Needs a token, and is what makes "one I have not done yet" answerable.
limitnumberReturn at most this many. The count is unaffected.
maxApprovalDaysnumberOnly platforms approving within this many days. Leaves out every platform that publishes no approval time, the same way a rating bound leaves out the unrated.
maxDomainRatingnumberOnly platforms up to this domain rating. The small, quick, unglamorous end of the directory, which is where a first submission usually belongs.
minDomainRatingnumberOnly platforms with at least this domain rating.
pricingstring
projectIdstringOmit it when the account has one project, which is the free tier.
querystringFree text matched against name, tagline and categories.
requiresBacklinkbooleanFilter on whether they demand a badge/link back.
sortstringFastest approval first (the default), or strongest domain first. Either way, a platform that publishes no approval time comes last rather than reading as instant.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

submission_playbook ~259

Everything needed to submit a stored project to one platform, yourself, in the maker's browser: a preflight of what is still missing, the sign-in plan (on the first submission it carries a question for the maker: hand every login back to them, or use the Google address they write out, which you then pass back as signInAs), the pack values mapped onto the fields the form asks for, the steps, the gotchas, the agentGotchas (traps in the form itself), and the call to make afterwards. Read the preflight before opening a tab.

NameTypeReqDescription
platformSlugstringyes
projectIdstringOmit it when the account has one project, which is the free tier.
signInAsstringThe Google address the maker wrote out when they agreed you could sign in for them on this project. Pass it on every call after they say it, so the answer travels with the work instead of living in y…

whoami ~77

Which SubmitMap account this token belongs to, named by its email address, which plan it is on, and how much of the free tier is left. Call it first if you are unsure whether the maker is connected, and tell them the address it reports: it is the only way either of you can tell one of their accounts from another.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
