What your AI can do with Directory
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_platforms”: Search the SubmitMap directory of startup launch platforms and directories. Filter by free-text query, category, pricing, link type, backlin.”
“Use “get_platform”: Full record for one platform: eligibility, disqualifiers, step-by-step submission instructions, requirements, gotchas and expected outcome.”
“Use “qualify_project”: Given a product, work out which platforms it qualifies for right now, which it could qualify for after supplying something (with the exact l.”
“Use “whoami”: Which SubmitMap account this token belongs to, named by its email address, which plan it is on, and what it already holds. Call it first if.”
How secure is the Directory MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Directory holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Directory (submitmap.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Directory adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick Directory
Choose Directory in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Use it anywhere
Directory's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Who runs the Directory MCP server?
The Directory MCP server at a glance
https://submitmap.com/api/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Directory MCP server?
Yes — Directory operates its own remote MCP server at submitmap.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Directory to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Directory in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Directory's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Directory runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Directory MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Directory in minutes. No credit card required.
Connect more than just Directory
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
