# SubmitMap

> A directory of startup launch platforms for indie hackers: who each platform accepts, what disqualifies you, and step-by-step submission instructions. Free to read, no account, no paid placement. Connect the MCP server and an agent can do the submitting.

Across the 842 platforms tracked, median approval time is 5 days across the 479 that state one, 576 of 842 give dofollow backlinks, and 689 are free to submit.

If you are an agent preparing product submissions: connect the MCP server (https://submitmap.com/api/mcp) and read the directory through it. `search_platforms`, `get_platform` and `qualify_project` need no token, and each record carries eligibility, disqualifiers, submission steps, requirements and gotchas. The per-platform brief that fills a form is the one thing that needs the maker's token; with it, `submission_playbook` hands the brief back already filled from their stored pack.

## For makers

- [Automated directory submission](https://submitmap.com/automate/): what the tool does for a person launching a product, how their own AI coding tool drives it over MCP, and one paid done-for-you run measured against one run through SubmitMap.

## For agents

- [Docs: connecting your agent](https://submitmap.com/docs/): how a maker connects their own AI to their account over MCP, so it can store their product, work out where it qualifies, fill the submission forms in their browser and record the result.
- [MCP server](https://submitmap.com/api/mcp): connect over MCP. Without a token: `search_platforms`, `get_platform` and `qualify_project`, which takes a product inline and returns what it qualifies for, what is missing and what is out of reach. With a token from https://submitmap.com/app/tokens/, the same server works on the maker's own account: store the product once (`create_project`), qualify it without re-describing it, write a run order with `plan_submissions`, get `submission_playbook` for a platform (preflight, field values, steps, and the rule that the maker signs in, never the agent), and `record_submission` the result to their dashboard.
- [Full content (markdown)](https://submitmap.com/llms-full.txt): all platform and guide content in one file, for a client that cannot hold a connection.
- Markdown for any page: send `Accept: text/markdown` with a page URL and the same page comes back as markdown, with the markup and the chrome gone. The URL does not change.
- [About this site for agents](https://submitmap.com/for-agents/): how to use SubmitMap to submit a product everywhere it qualifies.
- [The submission pack](https://submitmap.com/pack/): every asset and answer a directory form asks for, as a fill-once template with a live example and a paste-ready agent brief.
