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
Be transparent (disclose affiliation), only post about fully launched products using the showcase tag, avoid waitlists/landing pages, and ensure posts are high-quality and relevant.
What works here
- Share fully launched products or demos
- Use the showcase tag to indicate authorship
- Disclose your affiliation when promoting
What gets posts removed
- Posting waitlists or links to pre-launch landing pages
- Astroturfing or pretending to be an unaffiliated user
- Low-effort AI-generated promotional content
