🟢check_launch_readiness(url)
Audit a product homepage before launching it: HTTPS, noindex, title and meta description, og:image (fetched to confirm it loads), X card, favicon, canonical, mobile viewport, h1, JSON-LD, robots.txt, sitemap, parked or 404 pages, response time, and whether the page is empty without JavaScript. Returns a 0-100 score, a verdict and a fix for every problem. Reads the static HTML the way directory scrapers and link-preview bots do.

}🟢recommend_launch_directories(product_type, free_only)
Hand-picked launch directories for a product type, grouped by when to submit (launch day first, evergreen after). Every pick carries a human-written verdict, including the ones that are not worth paying for, plus Ahrefs DR, link type and price. Start here; use find_launch_directories to go wider across all 1,666 sites.

}🟡submit_project(title, tagline, category, description, website_url, ...)
List a product on the SaaSCity launch directory. Creates an inert draft and returns a claim URL; the human opens it to sign in, confirm the listing and pick a launch Monday. Nothing is published or charged until they do, and every listing is reviewed by a person. Free to submit. Free subdomain hosts (github.io, netlify.app...) and domains that already have a listing are refused.
