idea-reality-mcp

How to check if someone already built your app idea — automatically.

idea-reality-mcp is an MCP server that scans GitHub, npm, PyPI, Hacker News, and Stack Overflow to check if your startup idea already exists. It returns a 0–100 reality score with evidence, trend detection, and pivot suggestions — so your AI agent can decide whether to build, pivot, or kill the idea before writing any code.

When to use this: You're about to start a new project and want to know if similar tools already exist, how competitive the space is, and whether the market is growing or declining.

Project status (August 2026): Maintenance mode. The tool works, stays free & open source, and the hosted API remains up; bug reports are reviewed, but no new features are planned.

Not just checking — building it? After a reality check, open your idea as a public project on AngelRun — ship updates, climb the season, and get seen by angels.

How it works

Describe your idea in plain English — e.g. "a CLI tool that converts Figma designs to React components"
idea_check scans 5 databases in parallel (GitHub repos + stars, Hacker News discussions, npm/PyPI packages, Stack Overflow questions)
Get a 0–100 reality score with trend direction (accelerating/stable/declining), top competitors, and AI-generated pivot suggestions

What you get

You: "AI code review tool"

idea_check →
├── reality_signal: 92/100
├── trend: accelerating ↗
├── market_momentum: 73/100
├── GitHub repos: 847 (45% created in last 6 months)
├── Top competitor: reviewdog (9,094 ⭐)
├── npm packages: 56
├── HN discussions: 254 (trending up)
└── Verdict: HIGH — market is accelerating, find a niche fast

One score. Six sources. Trend detection. Your agent decides what to do next.

Try it in your browser — no install

Quick Start

# 1. Install
uvx idea-reality-mcp

# 2. Add to your agent
claude mcp add idea-reality -- uvx idea-reality-mcp   # Claude Code

3. Ask your agent: "Before I start building, check if this already exists: a CLI tool that converts Figma designs to React components"

That's it. The agent calls idea_check and returns: reality_signal, top competitors, and pivot suggestions.
