Install one router for Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Assess any public launch for free. Connect only when you want to save this checklist, track progress, prove improvement, or approve launch work.
The installer adds the LaunchBuddy skill and MCP bridge to all three supported clients. Anonymous assessment works immediately; connection is optional until you need a private project.
Connection opens LaunchBuddy in your browser for approval. Your agent never sees your LaunchBuddy password.
The router follows one vertical path so a useful assessment can become durable work without turning login into a paywall or letting an agent spend money on its own.
Paste a public URL. LaunchBuddy scores the launch and returns three actionable starter tasks—with evidence, action, a done-when condition, and the asset LaunchBuddy can make—plus a shareable report and claim token. No account is required.
Free · anonymousA browser-approved connection saves the exact original assessment without scanning again. Connect to keep the full checklist, owners, notes, statuses, and progress—not to unlock the first useful advice.
Free · no cardLaunchBuddy turns every gap into a durable task with a stable ID, owner, effort, status, completion condition, and verification state. Each result closes with three explicit choices: Start #1, Make #1, or Not now.
Included when connectedThe agent shows the exact title, brief, evidence, expected impact, and zero-cost trial eligibility before asking you to approve creation. Previewing starts no trial or provider work.
Preview before approvalAn eligible connected account gets one no-card trial asset, bound to the top recommendation and a single workspace card. The exact URL opens that proposal directly. Opening the review costs $0; provider work starts only after web approval.
One trial asset · human approvalAfter work ships, reassess the same project. LaunchBuddy shows the score change and verified wins first, automatically closes disappeared gaps, then shows new and remaining blockers.
Before / after loopInstallation, identity, product entitlement, and Stripe payment are four separate states. Existing paid users keep their access after connecting; free users keep their reports and plans without subscribing.
Browser approval links the device to an account, then a short-lived claim token attaches the original anonymous scan. The agent lists only owned projects and resolves the exact project before discussing entitlement.
After you approve an exact asset preview, LaunchBuddy creates a non-charging intent. An eligible free account receives one scoped trial asset. Once it is consumed, the agent shows the returned offer and asks separately before opening checkout.
| State | What the agent can do | Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous | Assess a public URL, get three actionable starter tasks, share the report, and receive a claim token | No |
| Connected free | Save the complete checklist; update owners, notes, and status; preview assets; and reassess | No |
| Single-asset trial | Create and render one assessment-recommended asset through workspace review | No card; one per account or domain |
| Paid active | Creation, ongoing growth, and workspace publishing eligibility | Stripe active |
| Paid lapsed | Read prior work and reassess; creation returns a restart handoff | Restart required |
Connecting never creates a checkout, trial, subscription, or charge.
Scans are rate-limited, cached, and protected by a durable daily budget. The trial is one card and one render.
The MCP creation call does not render or publish. Workspace review remains required.
Access and prior trial/paid history are checked against the account, domain, and exact owned project before checkout is presented.
Start anonymous, connect, update one task, then confirm the agent shows trial eligibility before it reaches any commercial handoff.

The MCP surface keeps the agent on the assessment-to-work path instead of exposing the entire LaunchBuddy application.

It never creates a checkout, product trial, subscription, provider job, or publication.
Not at install, connection, claim, planning, or preview. An eligible connected account can make one recommended trial asset. After that is used—or when the account or domain already used its trial—the non-charging intent returns the exact offer and the agent asks separately before opening checkout.
The agent lists your owned projects and checks access against the exact project. A paid-active project skips checkout and continues to the reviewable workspace proposal.
No. This version exposes no MCP publish tool. Creation becomes a proposed workspace card, and rendering or publishing stays inside the explicit LaunchBuddy review flow.
The CLI stores short-lived access and rotating refresh credentials locally in your LaunchBuddy configuration directory with user-only file permissions. Server records contain hashes, not raw tokens.
