Chat is an MCP client that lets you connect your own service’s MCP server and instantly expose it through a chat interface. Instead of building a full frontend or website, you only focus on backend logic and business workflows. Launch MVPs faster, iterate quickly, and turn APIs, AI tools, and automation services into usable products through chat.
Does Chat support authentication and user-level access control for the exposed chat interface, or is it purely open once connected to the MCP server?

Who hunted Chat?
Chat was hunted by Handy Wardhana. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
