Updated
Connect your AI assistant
You can let Claude, ChatGPT or other MCP clients search launches and read listings on Alternative Biz. With your permission, an AI assistant can also draft and manage your own listings.
Connect at /mcp. Your assistant will open a sign-in page on this site to authorise the connection.
Use the REST API
Build on the REST API at /api/v1. The full OpenAPI 3.1 description is available at /api/v1/openapi.json.
Sign in with OAuth (the sign-in page opens in your assistant) or create a personal API key from /account/developers. Keys are shown once only; only a hash is stored on this site.
What you need to know
Rate limits and daily quotas apply to all API use. Payments always happen on this site—the API returns a checkout link when needed. You cannot vote through the API.
