Gapbase Mcp

gapbase-mcp

Query 474 validated startup gaps from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.

GapBase is a database of real pain points scraped from Reddit, LinkedIn, and X — each one a validated opportunity for a vibe-coded micro-SaaS. This MCP server lets you search the full database directly from your AI coding environment.

• 🗂️ 474 validated gaps across 7 industries (ecommerce, healthcare, legal, accounting, property, dental, veterinary)
• 🧠 Problem statement + vibe-code solution for every gap
• 🔥 5 weekly trending gaps from live social signals (TikTok, HBO, viral challenges)
• 🚀 Free, no signup, zero network calls — everything runs locally
• 🔗 Each gap links to the full blueprint (tech stack, GTM, outreach templates) at thevibepreneur.com

Install

npm install -g gapbase-mcp

Then add to your MCP client config:

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your OS, and add:

{  "mcpServers": {    "gapbase": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "gapbase-mcp"]    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see a 🔌 icon indicating the server is connected.

Cursor

Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "gapbase": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "gapbase-mcp"]    }  }}

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "gapbase": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "gapbase-mcp"]    }  }}

Usage

Once installed, just ask your AI assistant questions in natural language:

"Find me 5 legal gaps about billing or time tracking."

"What ecommerce gap targets Shopify merchants who want to leave Klaviyo?"

"Show me this week's trending gaps with short build windows."

"What are the top pain points in property management right now?"

"Give me a dental gap I could vibe code this weekend."

Claude / Cursor will automatically call the appropriate tool and return problem statements with vibe-code solution directions. Every result includes a full_blueprint URL pointing to the complete breakdown on thevibepreneur.com.
