Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Launch is when solo builders ship narrative and proof to channels; screen captures are distribution assets, not core product code. Distribution subphase matches repurposing live UI into shareable media for X, Product Hunt, docs, and email—without a separate recorder app.
How it compares
Browser capture MCP integration, not a video editor skill or hosting platform.
