Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Directory every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

project
create_project
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.
update_project
Fill in or correct a stored project. Facts and pack are merged into what is there, so you can add one field at a time as the maker answers.
plan
plan_submissions
Write the run order for a project: which platforms, in what sequence, and why each one is where it is. Anything already submitted to is dropped from the plan and named back to you in `alreadySubmitted`, because a plan is what is still ahead. 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, and if that response carried `questions`, put them to the maker before you plan: the order depends on the answers, and a plan written on an assumption is one they have to undo by hand. A plan costs nothing on any plan, so plan the whole run the product deserves rather than a short one sized to a guess about what the account can track.
platform
get_platform
Full record for one platform: eligibility, disqualifiers, step-by-step submission instructions, requirements, gotchas and expected outcome. All of that is free, and it is what decides whether this product should be submitted here at all. Pass brief: true to also get 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). The brief spends one of the account's tracked platforms, so ask for it once the maker has decided to fill this form, not while you are still choosing between platforms. For a stored project, submission_playbook returns the same brief with the maker's values already in it.
platforms
search_platforms
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.
projects
list_projects
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.
qualify
qualify_project
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`: the run in the order it should be worked, so the plan comes out of the directory rather than out of what you remember of the web. That order is decided by `goal` and `budget`, and when they have not been answered the response says what it assumed and carries the questions to put to the maker: ask them, call again with the answers, and store them with update_project so nobody asks twice. 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
record_submission
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. This costs nothing on any plan and no status costs more than another, so record what actually happened: the brief was what spent the tracked platform, and leaving the row wrong now only makes the run harder to follow.
submission
submission_playbook
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. This is the tool the free plan meters: it covers the same submissions the dashboard tracks, plus any platform the account has already sent to, and past that it says so and points at the upgrade rather than answering.
submissions
list_submissions
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.
whoami
whoami
Which SubmitMap account this token belongs to, named by its email address, which plan it is on, and what it already holds. 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. It does not hand you the plan's limits and you do not need them to work: plan the whole run, and a limit says so at the write it stops.

Directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Directory do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_project, get_platform, list_projects, list_submissions, plan_submissions, qualify_project and 5 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Directory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 276 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Directory?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Directory need an API key?
No. Directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Directory?
It answers our handshake in 276 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Directory open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 300 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
