What exactly happens when Actuant “launches” my app?

An agent works through the launch checklist you'd otherwise do by hand: it writes your llms.txt, robots.txt and sitemap as a GitHub pull request, submits your app to 20 curated launch directories — filling each form live in a browser you can watch, and leaving the submit button to you. Anything that touches your code arrives as a pull request; nothing merges without your approval. Launch-copy drafting, analytics installed for you, and Stripe payments set up inside your app are on the roadmap, not shipped.

Does it work with my builder?

Yes. Actuant doesn't integrate with builders — it works on the app itself: the live URL, the GitHub repo, and your domain. If your app has a URL, Actuant can audit it; if it has a repo, Actuant can fix it. Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44, Cursor, Claude Code, or hand-written all work the same way.

I've shipped five apps. Do I need five subscriptions?

No. One account covers your whole portfolio: the free plan covers 1 app, Launch covers 3, Portfolio is unlimited. Re-auditing an app you've already added is unlimited on every plan. The Signal dashboard that compares those apps side by side is still being built — today you get each app's audits, fixes and launch work in one place.

Will you spam directories with my half-finished app?

No. The audit runs first, and the agent only submits when your app clears the quality bar — that protects your launch and everyone else's. We maintain a curated list of directories that send real traffic, not a firehose of 400 link farms, and the agent never presses submit for you: it fills the form and hands the browser back.

What does the free plan actually include?

One app, unlimited re-audits of it, the full launch-readiness score and report with per-check fix guidance, and access to the MCP server for your coding agent. Agent runs are metered, and the free plan's usage is a one-time $5 of credit — roughly 16 deep audits — not a monthly allowance. Paid plans add a weekly usage allowance, monthly credit, and the agent doing the fixing and launching rather than just the diagnosing.

Can I share a report with someone else?

Not yet. Reports live in your dashboard behind your login today; public, shareable report links are on the roadmap. Anything on this site marked “coming soon” isn't built — we'd rather you buy the plan for what it does now.

Agents & MCP

Add Actuant as a custom connector in Claude

Connect Actuant to the Claude app (web or desktop) as a custom connector: add the MCP URL, authorize with your Actuant account, and use the audit tools right in a chat.

Last updated 2026-07-19

This is for the Claude app (claude.ai or the desktop app), where connectors are point-and-click. For the Claude Code CLI, use Connect an agent instead.

1
Open connector settings
In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors.
2
Add a custom connector
Choose Add custom connector (you may need Developer mode enabled).
3
Enter Actuant's details
Name it Actuant and set the URL to https://www.actuant.dev/api/mcp. Add it.
4
Authorize
Press Connect. Your browser opens actuant.dev; sign in (or create an account) and approve the consent screen. Claude is now connected.
5
Use it in a chat
Start a chat, enable the Actuant connector, and ask it to audit your app's URL. The audit tools run through the connector.

There are no API keys to paste. The consent screen names Claude as the client, and the connection is scoped to auditing your apps. Revoke it anytime in Actuant under Settings, Agents & MCP.

If it says authorization failed

Remove the connector, add it again, and complete the browser authorization. If it persists, make sure you're signed in to Actuant in the same browser.
