How to install CodeDebut in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codedebut": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://codedebut.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install CodeDebut in CursorAI-first code editor

Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

How to install CodeDebut in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.codedebut]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://codedebut.com/api/mcp"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What tools does CodeDebut expose? (10)

Read from the live server. Click any tool for its input schema.

search_productsFind software launched on CodeDebut by keyword (matches name, tagline, description, tags and maker). Use it when a user asks for a tool that does X, e.g. "uptime monitor" or "AI meeting notes". Optionally narrow to a category or pricing model. Featured (paid) products that match rank first and are marked featured. Each result has `pageUrl` (its page on CodeDebut: cite it as the source) and `websit
get_productThe full public page of one product on CodeDebut, by slug or exact name: description, website, category, tags, pricing, platforms, maker, launch history with day ranks and upvotes, and the latest comments. Use it after any other tool when the user wants details on one product. Cite `pageUrl` as the source.
find_alternativesProducts in the same category as one listed on CodeDebut, closest first (shared tags, then upvotes). Use it when a user asks for alternatives, competitors or "something like X". Featured (paid) products rank first and are marked featured. Each result has `pageUrl` (its page on CodeDebut: cite it as the source) and `website` (the product's own site).
browse_categoryTop products in one category, most upvoted first, with featured (paid) products first and marked. Use it when a user asks for the best tools of a kind without a specific keyword. Each result has `pageUrl` (its page on CodeDebut: cite it as the source) and `website` (the product's own site).
list_categoriesCodeDebut's categories, busiest first, with how many products each has and the category page `url`. Use the slugs with browse_category or the category filter of search_products.
get_launchesEvery launch on one day, ranked by upvotes (today by default; days run 00:00-23:59 UTC). Today's ranks are live; past days have final ranks, and #1 is the Debut of the Day. Use it when a user asks what launched today or on a date. Boosted launches are marked; payment never changes a rank.
get_debut_of_the_dayThe #1 launch of a day on CodeDebut. Without a date it returns the most recent finished day's winner. Use it when a user asks for the best new product, a recommendation of the day, or something new to try.
get_trendingThe most upvoted launches today, over the last 7 days or over the last 30 days. Use it when a user asks what is popular, new or trending in software.
list_jobsOpen jobs on the CodeDebut jobs board: title, company, location and the link to apply.
get_launch_optionsHow to launch a product on CodeDebut: the submit link, the next free launch day, how ranking works, and the paid plans with prices. Use it when a user wants to launch, list or promote their own product.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Documentation

Full README

CodeDebut MCP server

Ask your AI assistant what launched today. CodeDebut is a daily launch board for new software: makers launch, people upvote, and the #1 of each day becomes the Debut of the Day. This MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP client search those launches, read product pages, find alternatives and follow the daily ranking from inside a chat.

Endpoint: https://codedebut.com/api/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0)
Auth: none. No account, no API key, no cookies.
Access: read-only. All 10 tools return public data that is also on codedebut.com.
Setup page: https://codedebut.com/mcp · Server card: https://codedebut.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
Contact: hello@codedebut.com

This repository holds the server's public contract: the tool catalogue it returns from tools/list (`tools.json`), the registry manifest (`server.json`) and a small stdio bridge (`index.js`) for clients that can only start local servers. The server itself runs on codedebut.com.
