Painspotter is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 7 tools, among them get_blog_post, get_opportunity, get_overview. It answers at https://painspotter.ai/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 4 September 2026; the last check, on 17 October 2026, succeeded.
AI-analyzed startup opportunities from Reddit, Hacker News & Product Hunt, with commercial scores.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_blog_post | Get the full Markdown body of one published blog post by its slug. Free; does not consume API quota. Content is an original AI synthesis with no verbatim community quotes. Inputs: slug |
get_opportunity | Get the full detail of a specific opportunity: description, score breakdown, MVP features, competitors, differentiation, risks and community evidence count. (Free tool) Inputs: opportunity_id |
get_overview | Get a global overview of PainSpotter: all domain categories (with theme count, opportunity count and 30-day mentions) plus a snapshot of currently trending themes. A good first step to map the landscape before drilling in with the other too |
get_theme | Get the full market signal for a single theme: trend, 30-day / all-time mentions, signal channels, audience clarity and market summary, plus the top-scoring opportunities under it (including the Best Bet flagship opportunity). (Pro tool) Inputs: theme |
list_blog_posts | List recent published PainSpotter blog posts — weekly long-form analyses of validated business opportunities (who's hurting, why now, how to build it). Free; does not consume API quota. Inputs: limit |
list_trending_themes | List themes that are currently heating up (sorted by trend change %), to catch demand that is growing. A theme is the "market-signal layer": it aggregates multiple opportunities and carries 30-day mentions, trend direction and audience clar Inputs: limit, min_mentions |
query_opportunities | Unified opportunity search: filter by keyword, minimum score, platform, recommendation tier and domain category, then sort the results. (Pro tool) Inputs: query, min_score, platform, recommendation, category, sort |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://painspotter.ai/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
