The end-to-end startup toolkit for bootstrappers
Create an idea, research the market, validate it, generate names, check domains, research competitors, build a full brand identity, deploy a branded landing page with lead capture on your own domain, and launch Meta ads — all through your AI agent. Every tool call is scoped to an idea, so you can explore multiple concepts in parallel and pick up exactly where you left off. Built for solo founders, side-project builders, home-based businesses, and vibe-coders. Not for VC-backed startups.
How it works
From a vague idea to a named, branded, domain-connected, lead-capturing business running Meta ads — tracked end-to-end through one idea_slug.
Sign up and get an API key
Create a free account at gentic.co, generate an API key from your dashboard, and use it as a Bearer token to authenticate your agent.
Add the MCP server to your agent
Drop https://mcp.gentic.co/startup into Claude Code, Claude Web, OpenClaw, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, n8n, or any MCP-compatible client. Pass your Gentic API key as a Bearer token — or connect via OAuth on clients that support it.
Create an idea
Call create_idea with a kebab-case idea_slug (like 'pet-subscription-box') and a human-readable name. Almost every other tool is scoped to this slug, so you can explore multiple ideas in parallel without cross-contamination. Ideas start in 'exploring' status.
Research the market
Pull live signals before you commit: search_web for press, reviews, and competitor coverage; search_reddit for raw consumer sentiment; google_trends for interest over time and regional demand. All results persist per idea and can be replayed via get_research_results.
Validate the idea
Describe the business and let your agent score it on market demand, competition, feasibility, revenue clarity, and customer reach. Get a verdict, strengths, risks, and concrete next steps before investing weekends.
Generate names and check domains
Produce 20 name candidates across 5 categories (descriptive, experiential, evocative, invented, identity). Each name comes with memory/meaning/range scores and domain suggestions — then verify with a live domain availability check backed by Name.com.
Research the competitive landscape
Surface 6-10 competitors, map their positioning, pricing, strengths and weaknesses, and pull out differentiation opportunities a bootstrapper can actually act on.
Build a full brand identity
Positioning, voice, visual direction (colors with hex, fonts, logo direction), target persona, and brand story — generated in a single call. Save the style guide and it's automatically injected into every landing page you ship for that idea.
Deploy a branded landing page
Have your agent write the HTML and deploy_landing_page goes live instantly at {org}.gentic.run/{slug} with the idea's brand style guide baked in and a built-in email lead capture endpoint. Iterate cheaply with patch_landing_page (50¢) instead of full replaces ($7.50).
Connect a custom domain
Once the landing page is live, connect_custom_domain attaches your purchased domain (via Fly + Let's Encrypt) so your page serves from example.com instead of the gentic.run subdomain. Verification status is visible via list_custom_domains.
Generate ad creative and launch Meta campaigns
generate_ad_asset produces on-brand ad images (1-10 at a time) from a prompt plus optional inspiration and brand references. Then create_meta_campaign → create_meta_adset → create_meta_image_ad launches real ads, and fetch_meta_insights tracks spend, CTR, and conversions. Everything starts PAUSED by default.
Track progression and revisit any idea
Use update_idea_status to move an idea through exploring → validated → active (this is the one!) → paused (revisit later). Call list_ideas to see your whole portfolio with statuses and tool-result counts. Use get_startup_results or export_startup_report to resume, compare runs, or hand off a polished markdown report.

Why agent-native startup tools?
Most startup advice is written for VCs, not bootstrappers. This is for solo founders, side projects, home-based businesses, and vibe-coders shipping weekend ideas — with research, validation, naming, branding, landing pages, custom domains, and Meta ads all in one MCP server.
Built for bootstrappers
Advice tuned for solo founders, side projects, and home-based businesses — not VC-backed unicorns. Feasibility and next steps grounded in what you can actually ship this weekend.
Async by default
Every Gemini-powered tool accepts an optional webhook_url. Pass one in and the tool returns instantly with a job_id, then POSTs results to your webhook when done. No blocking on 60-second LLM calls.
Results persist — per idea
Every tool run — research, validation, naming, brand, landing page, ad — is saved against its idea_slug. Come back days later, call get_startup_results, get_research_results, or list_ideas, and pick up exactly where you left off on any idea.
Portable
Works with any MCP-compatible client — Claude Web, Claude Code, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, n8n, and more. Switch clients without changing a thing.
