Rules
OutbidMCP is a public leaderboard. There are no ads, no API keys, and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
How ranking works
- New listings are whole US dollars, $1 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
- Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top bid in your target category. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
- Enter the same website, GitHub repo, or @handle again to raise that listing to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
- App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different tools don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
What you can list
- A product website, GitHub repo, MCP server package, or an X @handle.
- Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
- Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
- Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.
- Link shortener URLs are not allowed. If you submit one, it is replaced by the URL it redirects to.
Categories
- Categories are assigned automatically based on your tool/repo, but you can DM @bobybarack on X if you want it moved to a different one.
- Each category has its own separate leaderboard and #1 spot, but all submissions also compete on the main leaderboard.
Hall of Fame Billboards & Weekly Seasons
- Earning a Billboard: There are exactly 8 permanent Hall of Fame billboard slots framing the arena. The ONLY way to claim a slot is by holding Rank #1 on the leaderboard at the exact moment the weekly Season countdown timer closes.
- Consecutive Billboard Rule: A project that won the previous weekly Season and secured a Hall of Fame billboard cannot be awarded another billboard in the immediately following Season.
- Maximum Live Presence: Even if a previous winner is ineligible for a consecutive billboard, they can still actively bid and fight to hold Rank #1 on the live leaderboard for maximum real-time traffic and developer mindshare. If they finish #1 at the season reset, the billboard prize passes down to the highest-ranked eligible challenger.
- Permanent Distribution: Champion billboards feature 1-click MCP configuration copying anywhere on the card, providing permanent distribution for crowned tools.
After you pay
- Your listing goes live immediately. Clicks and 1-click prompt copies are tracked automatically.
- If you need to change your title, tagline, or MCP configuration after paying, DM @bobybarack with your Whop checkout receipt or Order ID.
