OSS launch marketing: demo video & MCP registry submission

[jeff-atriumn]

Summary

Execute key go-to-market activities to maximize discoverability and adoption at OSS launch:

1. Demo video/GIF — Visual proof of the install → audit → findings workflow for HN/Reddit/Twitter distribution
2. MCP registry submission — List noxaudit in the community MCP server registry to reach developers actively searching for tools

Both are critical marketing touchpoints with zero code changes required.

Tasks

Demo Video/GIF

• Script the demo flow (fresh repo, pip install noxaudit, set API key, run audit, show output)
• Record with asciinema or screen recording tool
• Convert to GIF for README embed, keep video for social posts
• Add to README under "Quick start" or "What it looks like"

MCP Registry Submission

• Review the registry's contribution guidelines at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers
• Open a PR adding noxaudit to the server list with:
  • Name: noxaudit
  • Description: AI-powered codebase audit findings — query findings, check health scores, record decisions, run audits from your editor
  • Install: pip install 'noxaudit[mcp]'
  • Config: {"command": "noxaudit", "args": ["mcp-server"]}
  • Tools: get_findings, get_health_summary, get_findings_for_diff, record_decision, run_audit
  • Docs: https://docs.noxaudit.com/integrations/mcp-server/
• Link back to our MCP docs page

Context

Demo video converts visitors → users far better than text. Critical for social media traction.

MCP registry provides high-signal discoverability — developers browsing the registry are actively looking for servers to add to Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf. The registry is a dedicated channel for this audience.
