~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idea-reality": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "idea-reality-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Abra Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicie após salvar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idea-reality": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "idea-reality-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idea-reality": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "idea-reality-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Clique no ícone MCP Servers na barra lateral do Cline, depois "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idea-reality": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "idea-reality-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Mesmo formato do Claude Desktop. Reinicie o Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "idea-reality",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "idea-reality-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

O Continue usa um array de objetos de servidor em vez de um map.

          "idea-reality-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

Casos de uso

Usos do mundo real: idea-reality-mcp

Validate a SaaS idea in 10 seconds before you build

👤 Founders, indie hackers, side-project tinkerers ⏱ ~10 min beginner

Quando usar: That 'I should build X' feeling at 2am — run it through reality check first.

Fluxo

Quick check

Run idea_check on 'a mobile app that uses ML to predict plant watering needs'. Quick depth.✓ Copiado

→ Score 0-100 + top 5 existing projects
Deep dive if promising

If the quick score is <60, run deep mode for full market scan including Product Hunt launches.✓ Copiado

→ Expanded list with trend arrows + funding signals
Pivot if crowded

Given the top 5 competitors, suggest 3 pivot angles that are less crowded.✓ Copiado

→ Specific, narrower positioning options

Resultado: 10 minutes of evidence-based triage instead of 10 weekends of parallel-inventing.

Armadilhas

Score high just because nobody built it — maybe because no one wants it — Look at HN comments + SO question volume; zero demand signal is as bad as saturation

Map existing competitors before a product kickoff

👤 PMs, founders writing a one-pager ⏱ ~20 min intermediate

Quando usar: You're scoping a product and need a real competitor list, not your own biased knowledge.

Pré-requisitos

GITHUB_TOKEN for higher rate limits — github.com/settings/tokens — no scopes needed

Fluxo

Run deep mode

Deep idea_check on 'realtime collaborative code review tool for remote teams'.✓ Copiado

→ List of 10+ competitors with stars/launches/dates
Cluster by approach

Group the competitors by approach (IDE plugin vs standalone vs browser extension). What's missing?✓ Copiado

→ Gap analysis

Resultado: A one-pager with a real competitive map.

Combine com: firecrawl

Combinações

Combine com outros MCPs para 10× de alavancagem

idea-reality + firecrawl

For today's idea_check on 'AI for gardeners', create a Notion page with the score and competitor list.✓ Copiado

Ferramentas

O que este MCP expõe

Ferramenta	Entradas	Quando chamar	Custo
idea_check	idea_text: str, depth?: 'quick'\|'deep'	Any idea worth more than 30 min of your time before building	Free public APIs; optional GitHub token raises limits

Custo e limites

O que custa rodar

Cota de API: GitHub unauth: 60/hr; with token: 5k/hr. Others: public rate limits
Tokens por chamada: Quick: 500-1500; deep: 2-5k
Monetário: Free
Dica: Always start with quick mode; deep is expensive and rarely changes the verdict on saturated spaces

Segurança

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Armazenamento de credenciais: Optional GITHUB_TOKEN, PRODUCTHUNT_TOKEN in env

Saída de dados: api.github.com, news.ycombinator.com, registry.npmjs.org, pypi.org, api.producthunt.com, api.stackexchange.com

Nunca conceda: repo write scopes

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

Rate limited (GitHub 403)

Set GITHUB_TOKEN env var with a token (no scopes required)

Verificar: curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' https://api.github.com/rate_limit

Deep mode returns empty Product Hunt

Requires PRODUCTHUNT_TOKEN — free to get at producthunt.com/v2/oauth

Score seems wildly off

Phrase the idea more specifically; 'AI app' matches everything and scores 0
