Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Idea is canonical because the primary solo-builder win is early market and labor-market research before building. research fits structured querying of external datasets—skills, salary, location—not building the product itself.
How it compares
Job-market data MCP over 1M+ listings, not a job board UI or recruiting CRM.
