What you actually get
A tool page with your description, a features list, a category rank and tabs for discussions, adoption, alternatives and integrations, published the moment it passes their check. The Visit Website link is rel="nofollow ugc", so what you get is a page in a large engineering catalogue rather than link equity.
How to submit to StackShare
1Sign in
List a Tool opens a sign-in card first. Google and GitHub, no email option.
2Give the URL
One field. They scrape the site and pre-fill the next screen from it.
3Fix what the scraper mislabelled
It puts your page title in Tool Name and your product name in One-line description. Both need swapping back.
4Write the features
Semicolon-separated, rendering as chips underneath as you type.
5Submit and read the answer
Either the tool page appears immediately, or a red box tells you the classifier refused it.

Gotchas
A classifier decides at submit time, not a human later. Ours was refused with "This tool does not fit into any of our supported categories. We currently focus on developer tools, SaaS products, and technology platforms" and accepted on a second attempt whose copy led with the MCP server and the API.
A refusal still burns the attempt. After the rejection the form answered "Please wait 58 minutes before submitting another tool", so a rewrite costs an hour.
The scraper crosses two fields: the page title lands in Tool Name and the site name in One-line description. Submitting without checking publishes your headline as the product's name.
The Visit Website link is rel="nofollow ugc" even on a published page, so this is catalogue placement rather than a backlink.
The pre-filled description is scraped from your homepage, counts and all. Ours arrived quoting the number of platforms in the directory, which would have been wrong within a week.
Let your agent submit to StackShare
Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the StackShare playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 6 StackShare rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 8 fields this form asks for, 1 of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Types it into StackShare in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to StackShare?".
