On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 43 ms.

• Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: submit a product to a weekly launch registry; collect upvotes during an assigned ship week; have a product hand-submitted to many backlink directories.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• list_categories

  List Shipstry's product categories with the number of approved products in each. Call this first when you need a valid category slug for the other tools.

• search_launches

  Search approved Shipstry launches by keyword, category, or tag. Keyword matching covers product name and tagline. Returns compact records with votes, ship week, awards, and the canonical Shipstry URL.

• get_launch

  Fetch one approved launch with its description, tags, awards, and maker name. Identify it by Shipstry product id, product slug, its Shipstry URL, or its own website URL.

• list_ship_week

  List the products that launched in one ship week (Monday-Sunday UTC, keyed YYYYMMDD). Defaults to the current week. During Fog Mode vote counts for the current week are hidden and the order is random.

• get_winners

  Weekly or monthly medal winners (gold, silver, bronze). Returns the most recent periods by default, or one period when `period` is given. Use this to see what actually won, not just what launched.

• get_category_landscape

  Benchmark a category over a window of ship weeks: how many products launched, the vote distribution (mean, p50, p75, p90, max), the top launches, how many medals were awarded, and the tags that appear most. Use this to judge how crowded a…

• check_url

  Check whether a website URL is already listed on Shipstry, using the same normalization as submission duplicate detection. Only approved listings are visible.
