What you actually get
A card in one of the larger Chinese AI navigation sites, which claims 30,000 or so indexed sites, more than 100 categories and 500 apps, and keeps an MCP marketplace section of its own. The link follows: outbound links carry no rel at all, only a utm_source parameter, and they point at your real domain. The readership is Chinese, so weigh the followed link against an audience that may not be able to use an English-only product.

How to submit to Maomu

  1. Open the submit page
    https://www.maomu.com/service/submit offers four things at once: submit, pay to promote, update an existing listing, and other services. The free lane is the last block on the page.
  2. Fill the short form
    A product icon, the product name, the product link and a contact method. That is the whole form.
  3. Wait for the manual review
    The free path says it enters human review and is listed once it passes. No duration is given.

A WeChat ID is what they ask for first

Gotchas

The contact field asks for a WeChat ID so their assistant can reach you, which is awkward if you do not have one and it is the only channel they name.
Everything, including the form labels and the review notice, is in Chinese, so nothing about the flow is guessable without reading it.
The paid promotion lane is presented alongside the free one on the same page, so it is easy to start reserving a paid slot when you meant to submit for free.
