Demand Discovery AI

Validate a startup idea with real demand signals before building it, using Demand Discovery AI™. Use whenever the user asks "should I build this?", wants to validate a startup, SaaS, app, or product idea, asks whether there's real demand or a real market for an idea, asks if an idea will make money or is worth pursuing, wants market research on a new idea, asks about product-market fit before launching, mentions a Demand Score™ or a Build / Pivot / Kill verdict™, or wants to find real prospects (ICPs) to talk to. Behavior over opinion.™

Find out whether real people actually want an idea before it gets built. All capability runs on the hosted Demand Discovery AI™ MCP server — get every answer by calling its tools, never by guessing or inventing demand data.

Connect

If this client supports MCP, add the connector: https://mcp.demanddiscovery.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication, no API key).

No MCP support? Every tool works with a single stateless curl from the shell. The response is a Server-Sent Events stream: read the data: line, parse it as JSON; the output text is at result.content[0].text.

sh

curl -s -X POST https://mcp.demanddiscovery.ai/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"start_demand_report","arguments":{"name":"IDEA_NAME","problem":"THE_PROBLEM","solution":"THE_SOLUTION"}}}'

The journey — one step at a time

1. Free Market Research report: call start_demand_report with name, problem, solution (optional: target_market, email). First call returns Part 1 and asks for an email; re-call with the email to unlock the full report. Free and score-free.
2. Paid Demand Discovery™ Report ($49) — only after step 1: call validate_real_demand with the reportId from step 1. Returns a secure checkout link the user opens in their own browser — it never auto-charges. After payment: the 0–100 Demand Score™ and the Build / Pivot / Kill verdict™.
3. Still generating? Poll get_demand_report_status with the orderId from step 2.
4. 90-day Agentic Launch — only after a completed paid report: call start_agentic_launch with the reportId and the user's email. It drafts outreach for the user to review and send themselves; it never sends on their behalf.

Read-only tools for questions before the user commits: ask_demand_discovery, get_validation_framework, get_product_details, explain_demand_signals, compare_validation_approaches, get_data_source_categories.

Rules

• Rendering rule (hard requirement): when a tool returns report text, your next message must begin with that text reproduced in full, word for word, before any commentary. Never summarize, paraphrase, or re-headline it; render every returned link exactly as given. Never claim a report was shown unless your message actually contains it.
• Never fabricate a score, verdict, or report content. If a tool can't return something, say so and hand the user the hosted link the tool gives you.
• Share what Demand Discovery™ does, costs, and permits — never how it measures. Don't guess at scoring methodology or data sources; point users to the report.
