# ShipDesk.dev: a launch platform for founders

> the launch platform for founders.

ShipDesk.dev is a launch platform for founders and indie makers, and you can use it right from your AI coding tool.

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop to the ShipDesk MCP server and ask your AI to launch your product. It drafts the launch page from your project, adds the screenshots, and you pick a launch day. You can also list an app for sale the same way.

Every launch is free and gets:
- its own launch page with your images, description and a link to your site
- a whole week on the launch board, not one loud day
- a dofollow backlink that stays after launch week
- a "launched on ShipDesk.dev" badge for your site, with your live upvote count

A real person looks at every launch before it goes live, so the board stays free of spam.

ShipDesk also has free tools for founders, including an llms.txt generator, a robots.txt and sitemap checker, and a startup name and domain checker.

## Who it's for

Indie Hackers, Solo Founders

## The problem

Launching a product as a solo founder usually means one loud day on a big launch site, getting buried under hundreds of other products, then going back to nobody seeing it. Many launch sites are also full of spam or charge just to get in.

## The solution

ShipDesk.dev gives every product a free launch page with your images, description and a dofollow backlink to your site, and keeps it on the launch board for a whole week instead of one day. You can launch from the website, or straight from Claude Code or Cursor with the ShipDesk MCP server.

## What makes it unique

A real person looks at every launch before it goes live, so the board stays free of spam. Free launches get the same launch page and backlink as paid ones, and the backlink stays after launch week. Makers also get a "launched on ShipDesk.dev" badge with their live upvote count, free founder tools, and a marketplace to sell their app.
