Can you promote in r/mcp?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data sources and AI-powered tools

The short answer

Reply helpfully, disclose your affiliation, use the showcase tag when demonstrating a launched product, and avoid posting links to pre-launch/waitlist pages or AI-generated promotional copy.

What works here

Share launched products/projects built on MCP with disclosure
Use 'showcase' tag to indicate authorship
Answer questions/help leads about MCP use cases

What gets posts removed

Posting waitlist/landing-page announcements for future services
Astroturfing or pretending to be an unaffiliated user
AI-generated promotional posts or sensationalized spam
Heavy solicitation without disclosure

Where this comes from

No waitlists

Bans links/announcements for future services until fully launched to combat spam.

Disclosure required

Self-promotion is allowed only with proper disclosure; pretending to be unaffiliated results in a ban.

Use showcase tag

Authors should use the showcase tag to indicate authorship and intent when demonstrating work.

No AI-generated promo spam

AI-generated promotional content will be removed and can lead to a ban.
