Hermes MCP - Where to Publish and Promote

Launch platforms

Product Hunt

Best for initial visibility and social proof. Time it for a Tuesday to Thursday launch.

Hacker News - Show HN

Position it as:

Show HN: I built a managed MCP gateway for internal tools

Lead with the technical problem, not the marketing pitch.

dev.to / Hashnode

Publish a deep technical post about MCP security, permissions, and internal tool access.

Ongoing promotion channels

LinkedIn

Primary channel for heads of AI, platform engineers, and CTOs at mid-market and fintech companies.

X / Twitter

Engage with the MCP and devtools ecosystem.

Discord and Slack communities

  1. Latent Space Discord
  2. AI Engineer community
  3. Hugging Face Discord
  4. relevant fintech and banking Slacks

Content that converts

  1. a demo video showing a real connector setup in under 10 minutes
  2. a case study showing an internal copilot with audit logs
  3. a technical blog post on MCP security and governance
  1. Ship the landing page with "Book a pilot" CTA
  2. Write and post the Show HN post
  3. Post on LinkedIn the same week with a shorter pitch
  4. Schedule Product Hunt 2 to 3 weeks later once you have pilot social proof
