Gorilla MCP

What is Gorilla MCP?

Lead discovery for solo SaaS founders. Searches Reddit, X, YouTube, and TikTok in parallel for posts where people describe a problem your product solves, ranks each by buying intent, and returns ranked leads with the original URLs. Built for the moment after launch when you have a product but nobody to show it to.

How to use Gorilla MCP?

Install via MCP config by running npx -y github:opusforge/gorilla-mcp and setting the GORILLA_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up for a key at https://usegorilla.app. Then use the provided tools—for example, find_leads performs a full parallel search across all platforms and returns ranked leads in about 60–120 seconds.
