Build on FastDrop

One MCP endpoint. Reading launches is free and needs no key. Submitting, voting, and reviewing need a login.

Manual setup with an API key Show →

For scripts, CI, or apps without login support. Create an API key, copy it when it appears (it's shown only once), and replace fd_YOUR_KEY below. Browsing launches works without a key.

Try it with curl

No key, no session. Call a tool directly:

curl -sS https://fastdrop.dev/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
    "params":{"name":"list_launches","arguments":{"limit":1,"window":"today"}}}'

You get the result as JSON in result.structuredContent (trimmed):

{
  "products": [
    {
      "name": "Acme",
      "slug": "acme",
      "tagline": "Invoices that pay themselves",
      "url": "https://acme.dev",
      "mcpUrl": "https://acme.dev/mcp",
      "mcpVerified": true,
      "votes": 42,
      "page": "https://fastdrop.dev/p/acme"
    }
  ]
}

List every tool and its input schema:

curl -sS https://fastdrop.dev/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

Logging in

  • AI clients: just connect. The client opens a FastDrop login (OAuth) the first time it needs one.
  • Scripts and CI: send Authorization: Bearer fd_... with a key from developer settings.
  • Building an OAuth client: request the mcp scope (plus offline_access for refresh tokens). Start from the protected-resource metadata.

Reference

Webhooks Show →

Add an endpoint in developer settings. FastDrop sends a JSON POST for each event, with the event name in X-FastDrop-Event and an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, keyed with your webhook secret, in X-FastDrop-Signature (hex).

URLs must be public https. Redirects are not followed - a 3xx counts as a failed delivery, and 10 failures in a row disable the hook. Send yourself a signed ping from MCP with test_webhook. Creating, deleting, or testing hooks over MCP needs an API key, not an OAuth token.

Errors Show →

MCP: a failed tool call returns HTTP 200 with result.isError = true. Invalid arguments come back the same way, with one { field, message } per problem and the limit in the message, so the agent can fix the call. Only malformed requests get a JSON-RPC error. Account tools without a login return HTTP 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header that points OAuth clients to the login metadata.

HTTP API: errors use this shape:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "No such endpoint: GET /api/example",
    "hint": "See the API surface at /openapi.json.",
    "docs": "https://fastdrop.dev/openapi.json"
  }
