Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 29

add_listing_image

Add a listing's logo (kind logo, replaces the old one) or a photo (kind photo) from a public https image URL. We fetch and check it like an upload; on a live listing it waits for review. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
choose_launch

Choose Free or Premium (and optionally a week, as get_launch_options names it) and send the listing for review. MakerRadar reviews every listing before it goes live. Needs launches:write.

Discovered
compare_products

Compare two products (by their slugs): each one's public details side by side, which has more community upvotes, and the comparison page.

Discovered
connect_account

Ask the person you're helping to let you act for their MakerRadar account. Returns a short code and a link: show them both, they sign in and approve you on MakerRadar. Then call connect_account_finish with deviceCode until it returns your token. No sign-in needed to start.

Discovered
connect_account_finish

After connect_account: trade deviceCode for your agent token once the person has approved. Returns status pending (ask again after `interval` seconds), denied, expired, or approved with the token — shown once; send it as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every call.

Discovered
draft_listing

Draft a listing on MakerRadar for the person you're helping: give their product's website and, optionally, a name, tagline and description. Returns reviewUrl, a link the person opens to sign in, check the listing and submit it; nothing is published until they do (and MakerRadar reviews it). If the site is already listed, returns its page instead. No sign-in needed.

Discovered
get_alternatives

List the alternatives to one product (by its slug) in the order its alternatives page ranks them: editor's picks first, then makers' own declarations, then by relevance and upvotes.

Discovered
get_badge_snippet

The HTML badge for the listing's own website: put it on the homepage and, while it's there, the listing earns what MakerRadar's badge earns (the answer says what). Needs listings:read.

Discovered
get_launch_options

The launch weeks open to a listing: Free (with spots left per week) and Premium. Use before choose_launch. Needs launches:write.

Discovered
get_launch_week

Get one launch week's full results (by its week, e.g. week-41-2026), ranked by upvotes — any week since MakerRadar began, not only the live one.

Discovered
get_listing_options

Everything update_listing accepts: the categories, technologies, platforms, audiences and tags to pick from (by slug), the pricing models, currencies and price periods, the demo video hosts, the link kinds with an example of each, and each field's limits. Call it before editing so you never guess a value. Needs listings:read.

Discovered
get_my_account

Who you're acting for on MakerRadar: the account an agent token belongs to, whether it's ready to list products, and what the token may do. Needs an agent token (Authorization: Bearer mr_…).

Discovered
get_my_listing

One listing of the person you act for, by id: everything you can edit (copy, category, pricing, price from, where it's based, best for, demo video, technologies, platforms, audiences, tags, links elsewhere, quick answers, logo and photos with their ids), its status, what's left to make it complete, and whether it can be sent for review. Needs listings:read.

Discovered
get_pricing

What a listing can buy on MakerRadar — Premium launch, featured and boosted weeks, ads, newsletter sponsorship, done-for-you submissions — each with its id, today's price and what it gets. Use before start_checkout. No sign-in needed.

Discovered
get_product

Get the full public details of one product by its slug.

Discovered
list_categories

List MakerRadar's categories, each with how many listed products it has and its page, most products first.

Discovered
list_current_launches

List the products on MakerRadar's live launch board (this ISO week's, or the last week until the new one opens), ranked by upvotes.

Discovered
list_my_listings

The listings of the account you act for on MakerRadar, newest first: each one's status (draft, in review, live…), its page once public, and where its maker manages it. Needs an agent token with listings:read.

Discovered
list_my_orders

The orders of the person you act for, newest first: what each bought, for which listing and week, and whether it's paid. Use after start_checkout to see when they've paid. Needs billing:checkout.

Discovered
remove_listing_photo

Remove one photo from a listing's gallery, by its id from get_my_listing. It's gone at once. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
search_products

Search MakerRadar's directory of launched products by keyword (matches name and tagline), ranked by all-time upvotes. Narrow it by platform, audience, use case or the country it's based in (combined, a product matches them all); an unknown value is an error naming the valid ones. Omit everything to list the most-upvoted products.

Discovered
set_listing_cover

Make one of a listing's photos (by its id from get_my_listing) the cover its page leads with. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
set_quick_answers

Replace a listing's quick answers (the questions buyers ask, answered by the maker): up to 6, each a question of 8–140 characters and an answer of 2–600. An empty list removes them. On a live listing, answers that add a link or are mostly rewritten wait for review. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
start_checkout

Start a checkout for the person you act for: an item from get_pricing for one of their listings (a placement needs the listing approved first). Returns checkoutUrl, the payment page: give it to the person to pay — you never pay, and nothing is charged until they do. We also email them the link. Holds a week's spot while they pay. Needs billing:checkout.

Discovered
start_ownership_check

Start proving the person controls a listing's website: method dns_txt, html_file or meta_tag returns a token and exactly where to put it. If you can deploy the site or edit its DNS, place it, then call verify_ownership. A proven owner can't have the listing taken over. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
submit_listing

Submit a product as a draft listing on MakerRadar, owned by the person you act for: its website and, optionally, a name, tagline and description (we fill in the rest from the site). Already listed sites come back as listed instead. Then get_my_listing, and choose_launch to send it for review. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
top_products

List the most-upvoted products on MakerRadar of all time (the Top 100 board).

Discovered
update_listing

Change any of a listing's details: name, tagline, description, category, pricingModel, priceFrom, basedIn, bestFor, demoVideo, technologies, platforms, audiences, tags, links. Send only what changes; null or an empty list clears a field. Categories, technologies, platforms, audiences and tags are slugs from get_listing_options. A demo video must be a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom or Arcade link to a real, public video. Links are the listing's pages elsewhere (X, GitHub, LinkedIn, App Store, Google Play, Product Hunt, YouTube channel, Discord, Instagram), one per kind. A draft changes at once; on a live listing a new name, category, video or link, or a rewrite, waits for review. Needs listings:write.

Discovered
verify_ownership

Check the token from start_ownership_check is in place; if it is, the person becomes the listing's verified owner. DNS can take a few minutes to show. Needs listings:write.
