# Toolfound

> Where tools get found. A launch platform and tool-discovery directory where the entire launch lifecycle — submit, verify, track, claim — works agent-natively over MCP as well as on the web. Ownership verification is mandatory for every submitted listing; listings compiled from public information are labelled unclaimed and removed on request within 48 hours.

## Key facts

- Listing: free, permanently (free launch dates are scheduled at least 7 days ahead); optional paid earlier launch date (Priority, $29 once) and Toolfound Plus ($99/yr)
- Backlink policy: every verified listing gets a permanent page with a dofollow link; the page is indexed by search engines once the description passes 100 original words (the form and the dashboard show the counter); paid placements are always rel="sponsored nofollow"
- Launch model: daily launch board (5 free launches a day, featured seats a smaller per-day limit, both shown on the calendar) + permanent directory listing; daily/weekly/monthly leaderboards
- Verification: mandatory ownership proof (domain email, meta tag, or DNS TXT) before any listing goes live
- Update cadence: guide comparison data re-checked by hand, each guide shows its last-verified date; directory data live from the database
