# blackfriday.tools

> A directory of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on software, SaaS, AI, and indie tools. A person checks every listing against the vendor's own site before it is published, and each offer carries the dates it runs. Black Friday 2026 is November 27; Cyber Monday is November 30.

This file describes the site, not any offer: for current deals, read the deal pages themselves. A published deal lives at /deals/{slug}; the sitemap lists every one. Listing a deal is free.

## For founders

- [Submit a deal](https://blackfriday.tools/submit): Free listing for software vendors. Paste the tool's URL and a draft is written for you; the founder adds the discount code and dates, and a person verifies the offer before it is published.
- [Connect an agent](https://blackfriday.tools/agents): How a founder lets an AI agent or a script manage their own listings — setup, scopes, and how to disconnect it.

## Agent access

For agents acting for one signed-in founder, over that founder's own listings only. Both doors use OAuth 2.1 from this site (dynamic client registration, PKCE, and the founder approves the client in a browser); there is no API key. An agent can create, edit, archive and submit drafts and claim a listing it was invited to. It cannot publish or approve anything, or change a listing that is in review or live: submitting sends a listing to a person who verifies it. Discount codes come from the founder and are never to be guessed. Adding a URL whose listing was archived this season brings that listing back as a draft.

- [MCP server](https://blackfriday.tools/mcp): Streamable HTTP. Point an MCP client at this URL and it finds the authorization server from the 401 it gets first.
- [REST API (OpenAPI 3.1)](https://blackfriday.tools/api/v1/openapi.json): The same operations as the MCP server, versioned under /api/v1, with scopes listings:read, listings:write and listings:submit.
- [Authorization server metadata](https://blackfriday.tools/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server): RFC 8414 discovery: registration, authorization and token endpoints.
- [Protected resource metadata](https://blackfriday.tools/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp): RFC 9728 document for the founder resource that both doors share.
