TL;DR
The Content Ops Stack bundles Notion, ElevenLabs, Perplexity, Firecrawl, and Tavily into a full content pipeline. Research (Tavily + Perplexity), extract (Firecrawl), draft (Claude + Notion), and produce audio (ElevenLabs) — all in one Claude Code session. Typical creator ships 2–3x more content with the same hours.
The Content Ops Stack
Research, write, voice, publish — the content pipeline in 5 MCPs
Install the whole stack
$ mcpizy install notion elevenlabs perplexity firecrawl tavilyOne command installs and configures all 5 MCPs for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.
Why this stack?
Content creators are bottlenecked by research (40%) and production (40%) — not ideas (20%). This stack automates both. Notion is the operating system (idea db, draft pipeline, published archive), Perplexity + Tavily + Firecrawl are the research engine, and ElevenLabs handles audio production. One Claude session covers the entire pipeline from 'topic idea' to 'publish-ready draft + audio teaser'.
The multiplier effect: each piece of content gets 3x more research in 1/4 the time. Newsletters go out on Wednesdays instead of 'when you finally find time'. YouTube scripts get voiceovers for B-roll without an external service.

Frequently asked questions
Can Claude match my voice?
Yes — point it at your past 10–20 posts in Notion and say 'match this voice'. First draft will be 80% of your voice; your 20-minute edit pass handles the rest. Most creators find total time-to-publish cut by 60%.
Is ElevenLabs good enough for a real podcast?
For sponsor reads, intros, and outros — 95% of listeners can't tell. For the full show, your real voice still wins. Many podcasters use ElevenLabs for ad reads to save studio time.
Can I publish directly from this stack?
Directly to Notion yes. For Substack/Ghost/YouTube, add their community MCPs (Substack MCP, YouTube MCP). For sites on GitHub (Astro, Hugo, Next.js), GitHub MCP publishes via PR. Twitter MCP for thread distribution.
Do I need Perplexity if I have Tavily?
Yes, they solve different problems. Tavily = fast breadth (30 results, headlines, titles). Perplexity = deep answers with citations. Use Tavily to find what to read, Perplexity to actually understand it.
How much does ElevenLabs cost?
Free tier: 10K characters/month. Starter: $5/mo for 30K. Pro: $22/mo for 500K. A weekly 45-second teaser uses ~1000 chars, so the free tier covers a lot.
