Any agent that speaks MCP

Connect to Baron to help me start a business.

1. Add this MCP server: https://trybaron.ai/mcp-public (streamable HTTP, no sign-in).
2. Use find_businesses to show me businesses like the one I describe.
3. Use prepare_business_brief to draft mine: who pays, what they get, how it reaches them, and a working name.
4. Give me the review link it returns. I'll open it, sign in by email and approve setup myself.

These tools can't create a business, take payments or see private accounts.
If I have a Baron account, use https://trybaron.ai/mcp instead, with my founder key from https://trybaron.ai/connect as a Bearer token.

Questions

Couldn't I build all this myself?

Yes. Together, the checkout, ads, search pages, refunds and books take weeks to set up and need daily work after launch, which Baron does.

Who owns the business?

You do, and you’re its seller: customers pay your own Stripe account, and Baron takes no cut.

Do I still write the code?

For a software product, usually yes, and Baron runs the business around it. For reports, services and digital goods, Baron can do most of the work.

Which agents work?

Claude Code, Claude and any agent that speaks MCP. You can also do everything in the browser.

Can it spend my money?

Only up to your weekly limit. It asks before anything costly or permanent and records every cent.

What does it cost?

Credits pay for the AI, hosting and tools the work uses. 100 credits is $1. See pricing.

What can't it sell?

Physical goods, for now. Baron is for adults 18 and over.
