pip install product-hunt-mcp
export PRODUCT_HUNT_TOKEN=your_token_here
product-hunt-mcp

pip install uv
uv pip install product-hunt-mcp
uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/jaipandya/producthunt-mcp-server.git'
uv pip install .
Once installed, the product-hunt-mcp command will be available. Add it to your Claude Desktop or Cursor configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"product-hunt": {
"command": "product-hunt-mcp",
"env": {
"PRODUCT_HUNT_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
- Replace your_token_here with your actual Product Hunt API token.
- The token must be set as an environment variable in your Claude Desktop or Cursor config for the server to authenticate.
- Always restart your client (Claude Desktop/Cursor) after editing the config file.
> Tip: On macOS, Claude Desktop may not always find the product-hunt-mcp command if it's not in the default PATH. If you encounter issues, you can provide the full path to the executable. After installing, run:
>
>
> which product-hunt-mcp
> >
> Use the output path in your Claude Desktop config, replacing
"command": "product-hunt-mcp" with the full path (e.g., "command": "/Users/youruser/.local/bin/product-hunt-mcp").
