Honest catches
- MCP is often a feature, not the product. Most winners sell a full tool (ads, scheduling, search) and add an MCP so AI assistants can use it.
- Free servers are everywhere. Charging for a thin wrapper around a free API is hard.
- Platforms change fast. Claude and ChatGPT keep adding built-in tools.
What the data says
- Bring a useful data source. Search Console, ad accounts and web search are things AI assistants can’t reach alone.
- Marketers pay most. The top two sell ad and marketing work done inside Claude or ChatGPT.
- Add MCP to what you already sell. Four social schedulers did.
