MCP servers for founders
Every early-stage founder has the same problem: forty jobs and one set of hands. You’re the developer, the marketer, the support desk and the person who reads the Stripe dashboard at midnight.
MCP doesn’t replace those roles. What it does is quietly delete the worst part of each one, the lookup work: finding the thing, copying the number, checking the state. Give Claude the connectors and those become one-line questions.
This is the stack we’d put together if we were starting a product today, organized by the job it takes off your plate.
Disclosure, up front: we build Enrichr, so it appears on this list. We’ve tried to say exactly why, and to be straight about where the others are the better tool.
01 Enrichr, your research and design departmentour pick
Before you build a page, see how the best ones in your space are built. Enrichr pulls the design system, layout, motion and stack from any live site, and rebuild_brief turns a page you admire into a spec Claude can build from. It’s the cheapest way we know to get a design head-start without a designer on payroll. Use references for learning and inspiration, and build your own original work.
02 GitHub
Your codebase and your issue tracker in one place Claude can read. Ask “what shipped this week” and get an answer that doesn’t depend on your memory.
03 Supabase
Auth, database and logs for a huge number of new products. Claude can check a table, write a migration and read the error logs without you tab-switching.
04 Stripe
Ask “who churned this month” or “did that customer’s payment go through” in plain English. Set it up with restricted, read-only keys first.
05 Vercel
Deploy status, build failures and runtime logs. When something breaks at 2am you want an answer, not a dashboard hunt.
06 Sentry
Turns production errors into fixes. Solo founders can’t watch an error feed all day; Claude can read it for you.
07 Linear (or your tracker)
Keeps the plan and the work in sync. Dictate a messy brain-dump and have Claude turn it into scoped tickets.
08 Gmail and Calendar
Draft the reply, find the thread, protect the deep-work block. Not glamorous; probably the most-used connector on the list.
09 Slack
Summaries of the channels you can’t keep up with, and drafts posted where your team (or your customers) already are.
