I'm an electronics hobbyist and I have done a lot of electronics projects using launchpads like MSP430G2553, Arduino and Tiva C Series, so I never faced any problems to upload code to these microcontrollers.
But now for one of my projects I want to use an MSP430F6736 as it has features my project requires. But there is no launchpad with this microcontroller IC on the market.
So, I'm confused about how to use this microcontroller in my project. If I can manage to upload a blink sketch in to it I can do the entire project - but I have no idea how to upload code to such bare microcontrollers.
I have seen a lot of people using bare microcontrollers in their projects. Please help me.
Edit-
Thank you so much for your suggestions. I searched online after reading your solution and found ez430 emulator can be used to program most of MSP430 microcontrollers. I have a MSP430G2 launchpad and it turns out that it has ez430 emulator onboard which can be used to program and debug MSP430F6736 through SBWTDIO and SBWTCK pins.
For more info please refer this document.

You can find matching pins on the IC:
When you design your custom board, you can put in a row of header pins connected to these pins. When your PCB is assembled, use spring loaded pins or a cable connector to program the board. Somewhat like this (image source):

You use a JTAG debugger or programmer like this one or use the launchpad as Eugene Sh. suggested.
When you make your design, you can add a connection for either a JTAG or SWD interface. There are schematics on how to do it in the link above. It is fairly simple.
You can load and debug your program through this interface with the IDE supplied by TI or you can use a dedicated programming software, if you only need to load software onto the target.

update ULINK2 only works with IAR toolkit, not Code Composer.
MSP-FET is the Texas tool of choice and the MSP430 is not really JTAG compatible. IAR can use a standard JTAG emulator to program/debug MSP430 but not Texas Code Composer.
Fortunately you can buy [low-cost (£20-25) MSP-FET430UIF clone from ebay][1].. . It's been superseded by MSP-FET but remains supported for now. (still in CCS8). If you're developing code professionally, you might as well as pick up the official MSP-FET.

You use a JTAG debugger or programmer like this one or use the launchpad as Eugene Sh. suggested.
When you make your design, you can add a connection for either a JTAG or SWD interface. There are schematics on how to do it in the link above. It is fairly simple.
You can load and debug your program through this interface with the IDE supplied by TI or you can use a dedicated programming software, if you only need to load software onto the target.

update ULINK2 only works with IAR toolkit, not Code Composer.
MSP-FET is the Texas tool of choice and the MSP430 is not really JTAG compatible. IAR can use a standard JTAG emulator to program/debug MSP430 but not Texas Code Composer.
Fortunately you can buy [low-cost (£20-25) MSP-FET430UIF clone from ebay][1].. . It's been superseded by MSP-FET but remains supported for now. (still in CCS8). If you're developing code professionally, you might as well as pick up the official MSP-FET.

@Yeah, but only on IAR. My bad. Well, not to worry, it's not like you can't buy MSP-FET clone off ebay on the cheap as well..

You can use the launchpad as a stand-alone programmer and implement the programming interface on your boards. Details would make this question too broad.

Or you can buy the MSP-FET programming dongle, which is pretty reasonably priced as these things go (but more expensive than a Launchpad).

the reason there are so many jumpers on the or some of the launchpads is so that you can remove them and use the debug end of the board to program other chips (in your own designs).

It is somewhat confusing to use the term "launchpad" when it is close to Texas Instruments' system with the name "LaunchPad" (proper noun).
