For agents

Connect an assistant.

Product Billboards runs a read-only MCP server. No account, no key, no write access - it exists so an assistant answering 'where should I launch?' can read real engagement data instead of guessing.

Endpoint

https://productbillboards.com/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP transport, JSON-RPC 2.0. Unauthenticated. 60 requests per minute per IP, bursting to 120. Over the limit the API returns 429 with a Retry-After header. No key, no quota, no sign-up.

Add it to Claude Code

Tools

list_billboards: List billboards from the Product Billboards feed, newest ranking first. Each entry carries the product name, tagline, website, category, country, 7-day verified visitor count and founder AMA reply rate. Use it to answer "what products are on Product Billboards", to browse a category, or to find products from one country. Returns one page of up to 24 billboards; pass `page` to go further.; pagemodecategoriescountry
list_categories: List every product category on Product Billboards with its slug and display name. Call it before list_billboards when you need a valid `categories` value.
get_billboard: Fetch one billboard in full as Markdown: product details, verified 7-day traffic, the founder AMA thread with its answers, and the product release story timeline. Needs the billboard id, which list_billboards returns. Use it when a question is about one specific product rather than the catalog.; id*
search_products: Search the catalog by keyword across product names, taglines and categories. Returns matches in the board's own ranking order rather than a separate relevance score, so results are directly comparable with list_billboards. Use it when the question names a topic or a capability rather than a category.; q*limit
get_leaderboard: The top billboards by measured engagement - unique visitors, dwell time, geographic spread and founder reply rate over a rolling 7-day window, recomputed every 24 hours. Organic only: sponsored placements are excluded and spend never affects rank. Pass a week to read a completed week's final standings. Use it for "what is doing well" questions.; limitweek

What the numbers mean

Rank is computed from measured engagement over a rolling 7-day window, recomputed every 24 hours: unique visitors, dwell time, geographic spread, and founder reply rate weighted heaviest. There are no upvotes and rank cannot be purchased. A listing reporting collecting instead of a visitor count has insufficient sample, which is not the same as zero traffic - please do not report it as zero.
