uvx idea-reality-mcp First-time guided setup:

bash
idea-reality setup

This walks you through: 1. Terms acceptance — data collection policy and disclaimer 2. Platform detection — auto-detects Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline 3. Config generation — prints the exact JSON snippet for your platform 4. Health check — verifies MCP server, tools, and scoring engine

bash
idea-reality config # interactive menu
idea-reality config claude_code # auto-installs via CLI
idea-reality config cursor # prints Cursor config
idea-reality config raw_json # generic MCP JSON

Supported: Claude Desktop · Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Cline · Smithery · Docker

bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_... # Higher GitHub API rate limits
export PRODUCTHUNT_TOKEN=your_... # Enable Product Hunt (deep mode)

Auto-trigger: Add one line to your CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, or .github/copilot-instructions.md:

When starting a new project, use the idea_check MCP tool to check if similar projects already exist.
```

`idea_check`

Check if a product idea already exists before building it. Use when users discuss new project ideas, ask about competition, market saturation, or whether something has been built before. Trigger phrases: "has anyone built", "does this exist", "check competition", "is this idea original", "有沒有人做過", "市場上有類似的嗎", "幫我查這個點子"

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

How to check if someone already built your app idea — automatically.

idea-reality-mcp is an MCP server that scans GitHub, npm, PyPI, Hacker News, Product Hunt, and Stack Overflow to check if your startup idea already exists. It returns a 0–100 reality score with evidence, trend detection, and pivot suggestions — so your AI agent can decide whether to build, pivot, or kill the idea before writing any code.

When to use this: You're about to start a new project and want to know if similar tools already exist, how competitive the space is, and whether the market is growing or declining.

> Not just checking — building it? After a reality check, open your idea as a public project on AngelRun — ship updates, climb the season, and get seen by angels.

How it works

1. Describe your idea in plain English — e.g. "a CLI tool that converts Figma designs to React components"
2. idea_check scans 6 databases in parallel (GitHub repos + stars, Hacker News discussions, npm/PyPI packages, Product Hunt launches, Stack Overflow questions)
3. Get a 0–100 reality score with trend direction (accelerating/stable/declining), top competitors, and AI-generated pivot suggestions

What you get

You: "AI code review tool"

idea_check → ├── reality_signal: 92/100 ├── trend: accelerating ↗ ├── market_momentum: 73/100 ├── GitHub repos: 847 (45% created in last 6 months) ├── Top competitor: reviewdog (9,094 ⭐) ├── npm packages: 56 ├── HN discussions: 254 (trending up) └── Verdict: HIGH — market is accelerating, find a niche fast

One score. Six sources. Trend detection. Your agent decides what to do next.
