Your project is listed on Spark — claim your listing

Claim Your Project Listing on Spark: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're a maintainer of the AiondaDotCom/mcp-salesforce project, you might have received a notification about your project being listed on Spark, a catalog of AI tools and resources. This listing offers potential visibility and benefits, but it's important to claim it to fully leverage its potential.

The core issue is that while your project is automatically listed, you don't have control over the listing's content or access to its analytics until you verify your maintainership. Claiming the listing grants you ownership and allows you to customize it to better represent your project.

Why Claim Your Listing?

Claiming your project listing provides several advantages:

• Maintainer Verification: Gain a "Maintainer Verified" badge, building trust and credibility with users.
• Customization: Edit the title, description, and tags to accurately reflect your project's purpose and functionality.
• Analytics: Access download analytics to understand how users are interacting with your project through Spark.
• Promotion: Add a "Listed on Spark" badge to your README to further promote your project's presence on the platform.

How to Claim Your Listing

The claiming process is straightforward and should only take a minute or two:

1. Navigate to the Claim Page: Go to https://spark.entire.vc/claim/vb-salesforce-mcp-aiondadotcom.
2. Sign In with GitHub: Click the "Sign in with GitHub" button. This will redirect you to GitHub for authentication.
3. Authorize Spark: Grant Spark the necessary permissions to access your GitHub account. This is required to verify your push access to the AiondaDotCom/mcp-salesforce repository.
4. Verification: Spark will automatically verify that you have push access to the repository. This confirms that you are a maintainer.
5. Confirmation: Once verification is complete, you'll be redirected back to Spark, and your listing will be claimed!

After Claiming: Customizing Your Listing

Once you've claimed your listing, you can start customizing it. Here are a few things to consider:

• Title: Ensure the title accurately reflects your project's name and purpose.
• Description: Write a concise and compelling description that highlights the key features and benefits of your project. Use clear and simple language.
• Tags: Add relevant tags to improve discoverability. Think about the keywords users might use to search for your project.
• README Badge: Add a "Listed on Spark" badge to your README file. This helps promote your project's presence on Spark and encourages users to explore it. You can often find the code snippet for the badge on the Spark platform after claiming. It might look something like this:

<a href="https://spark.entire.vc/assets/vb-salesforce-mcp-aiondadotcom">
  <img src="https://spark.entire.vc/badge.svg" alt="Listed on Spark" />
</a>

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the claiming process, here are a few things to try:

• Verify GitHub Access: Ensure that you have push access to the AiondaDotCom/mcp-salesforce repository.
• Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can interfere with the authentication process. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
• Contact Support: If you're still having trouble, reach out to Spark's support team for assistance. The original issue message provides an email address: howard@entire.vc.
