Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
🚀 Product Hunt MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
- Python 3.10+
- Product Hunt API token (get one here)
- You'll need to create an account on Product Hunt
- Navigate to the API Dashboard and create a new application
- Use the Developer Token for the token
> Note: When creating a new application on Product Hunt, you will be asked for a redirect_uri. While the MCP server does not use the redirect URI, it is a required field. You can enter any valid URL, such as https://localhost:8424/callback.
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").
