Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add gapbase -- npx -y gapbase-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Common questions

Is Gapbase MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_industries`	7 industries covered with gap counts per industry
`search_gaps`	Keyword and/or industry filtered search across 474 validated B2B gaps (the primary tool)
`get_gap`	Fetch a single gap by id or slug
`get_viral_social_gaps`	5 weekly viral consumer trends (TikTok, HBO, short-window builds) — specialized, ask explicitly
`get_stats`	Database statistics and metadata

Philosophy

Free MCP users get the diagnosis. The cure lives on the website.

Each gap in the MCP bundle includes:

Problem statement (what's broken)
Vibe-code solution (a build direction)
Industry + role
full_blueprint URL with tech stack, difficulty, GTM playbook, and outreach templates

If you find a gap worth building, click through to the blueprint on thevibepreneur.com for the complete kit. Founding Member access unlocks the full 474 blueprints forever.

Privacy

This MCP server runs 100% locally. It does not phone home, does not track usage, does not collect any data about you, your queries, or your Claude conversations. The entire gap database is bundled in the npm package — no network calls, no API keys, no auth.
