StacksThe Solopreneur Kit

TL;DR

The Solopreneur Kit is 5 MCPs (Notion, Stripe, GitHub, Tavily, Perplexity) — the leanest setup that still covers CRM, revenue, code, and research. Everything else (email, social, ads) gets added only when a real pain shows up. Target audience: one-person businesses doing $0–$500K/year.

The Solopreneur Kit

The leanest MCP stack to run a one-person business

Install the whole stack

$ mcpizy install notion stripe github tavily perplexity

One command installs and configures all 5 MCPs for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

Why this stack?

Solopreneurs are optimization problems: you have 5 hours a day for deep work, and you want to spend them on the one thing only you can do. This stack offloads everything else. Notion is your second brain; Stripe answers 'how much did I make this week?'; GitHub ships code and content; Tavily + Perplexity replace a research VA.

Why only 5 MCPs? Because indie hackers are bottlenecked by decision paralysis, not missing tools. This is the 80/20 stack — once it's running, add more only when a real pain appears.

  3. 3Implements the feature or writes the article

Estimated value

Replaces ~$200/mo of one-person-business tooling (Tally Pro, Revenue Cat, Descript starter, research VA for ~5h/wk). Time ROI: 8–10h/week, which is often the difference between 'shipping weekly' and 'shipping monthly'.

Frequently asked questions

Why not include Twitter/X MCP?

Most solopreneurs like keeping their voice human on social — automating it feels off-brand. Add Twitter MCP later for scheduling or analytics, not posting. The 5 here are the 'no cheating' core.

What if I run multiple products?

All 5 MCPs handle multi-product naturally (Stripe for aggregate revenue, Notion for per-product workspaces, GitHub for separate repos). One Claude Code install manages everything.

Is this cheap enough for $0 revenue?

Yes — everything has a free tier generous enough for early-stage. Total cost at $0 revenue: $0. At $5K MRR: ~$50/mo total.

What should I add first when growing?

At 100 paying customers: add Resend MCP for transactional email. At 1K: add a community analytics MCP (PostHog or Amplitude). At 10K: add Linear MCP when informal Notion tasks stop scaling.

Can I use this with Cursor instead of Claude Code?

Yes — all 5 MCPs work in Cursor via `.cursor/mcp.json`. Same JSON shape. Indie hackers often start with Cursor for the visual UI, then switch to Claude Code once they're comfortable with MCPs.
