Solodot

connect the dots that scale your solo business.

mcp server for solodot. route the active founder painpoint, generate one execution asset, and keep the founder in control through approve, revise, or reject.

features

• six execution packs: bottleneck, customers, founder functions, learning, trust, and agent workflows.
• five tools: route, generate, review, inspect, and export.
• local stdio for codex and claude desktop.
• authenticated streamable http for remote agents.
• anthropic and vertex model providers.
• in-memory local runs or durable supabase runs.
• docker and apple container support.
• no silent email, slack, crm, publishing, invoice, or external actions.

requirements

• node.js 20+
• an anthropic or vertex api key
• supabase for remote http mode
• codex, claude, or another mcp client

apple container requires apple silicon and macos 26. install it from the official releases, then start the service with container system start.

install

cd /Users/0x79de/dev/solodot-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run build

set at least one provider in .env:

SOLODOT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...

use SOLODOT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=vertex with VERTEX_API_KEY for vertex.

setup

codex

add a local stdio server to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.solodot]
command = "node"
args = ["/Users/0x79de/dev/solodot-mcp/dist/stdio.js"]
env = { SOLODOT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER = "anthropic", ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "your-key" }

claude desktop

add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solodot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/0x79de/dev/solodot-mcp/dist/stdio.js"],
      "env": {
        "SOLODOT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER": "anthropic",
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

restart the client after changing its config. ready-to-copy examples live in examples/.

usage

after setup, ask your agent:

• "route the biggest painpoint in my solo business."
• "turn this route into the execution asset i should use this week."
• "revise the asset for a narrower b2b saas buyer."
• "approve it and export the run as markdown."

the normal flow is:

route_painpoint
  -> generate_execution_asset
  -> review_execution_asset
  -> export_solodot_run

approval records founder intent. it never executes the asset outside solodot.

remote http

remote mode serves POST /mcp and GET /health on port 8787.

configure:

SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY=...
SOLODOT_MCP_API_KEYS=long-random-founder-token
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...

run:

npm run build
npm run start:http

remote codex config:

[mcp_servers.solodot]
url = "https://mcp.example.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "SOLODOT_MCP_TOKEN"

use the same public https endpoint and bearer token for a claude custom connector or another remote mcp host.

apple container

solodot uses the same oci image for apple container and docker.

container system start
npm run container:build
npm run container:run

container:run reads .env, starts solodot-mcp with an init process, and publishes only 127.0.0.1:8787.

npm run container:health
npm run container:logs
npm run container:stop

override defaults when needed:

SOLODOT_MCP_ENV_FILE=/absolute/path/to/solodot.env \
SOLODOT_MCP_PORT=9000 \
npm run container:run

apple container runs linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on apple silicon. the image remains portable to any oci-compatible runtime.

docker

build from the standalone mcp repository:

cd /Users/0x79de/dev/solodot-mcp
docker build -t solodot-mcp:local .
docker run --init --rm --env-file .env -p 127.0.0.1:8787:8787 solodot-mcp:local

tools

• route_painpoint: choose exactly one execution pack.
• generate_execution_asset: create the full asset for that fixed route.
• review_execution_asset: approve, revise, or reject.
• get_solodot_run: inspect diagnosis, assets, and approvals.
• export_solodot_run: return an approved asset as markdown or json.

resources are available at solodot://execution-packs, solodot://approval-boundaries, and solodot://product-context.

slack

an mcp-capable agent can call solodot while its conversation lives in slack.

this is not a native slack bot. it does not read channels, receive slash commands, or post messages.

development

npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build

inspect the local server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/stdio.js
