RankRope CLI & Terminal Guide

Structured shell commands to stream live leaderboard rankings, calculate outbid climbing math, download AI markdown specs, and query the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server directly.

1

Stream Live All-Time Leaderboard

Fetch the top 10 verified software products ranked by real equity:

curl -s "https://rankrope.com/api/leaderboard?period=all_time&limit=10" | jq .
2

Inject Product AI Markdown into LLM Prompt Context

Directly fetch any product's rich markdown summary for prompt engineering or agent indexing:

curl -s "https://rankrope.com/p/swift-search-ai.md"

Search Products by Keyword & Category

Filter software tools and developer platforms programmatically:

curl -s "https://rankrope.com/api/products?q=developer&category=developer-tools" | jq .
4

Calculate Outbid Quote via MCP JSON-RPC

Ask the MCP server for the exact delta required to climb to rank #1:

curl -X POST "https://rankrope.com/api/mcp" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_climb_quote",
      "arguments": { "slug": "swift-search-ai", "target_rank": 1 }
    }
  }' | jq .

Ingest Real-Time Platform AI Snapshot

Download complete directory metrics, leaders, and category distributions in a single JSON payload:

Python 1-Liner to Print Leaderboard

Parse and print product rankings directly in Python without external libraries:

python -c "import urllib.request, json; data = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen('https://rankrope.com/api/leaderboard').read()); print('\n'.join(f'#{p["rank"]} {p["name"]} (${p["cumulative_value"]})' for p in data['products'][:10]))"
