Cantrip
Connects Claude to Cantrip's GTM platform through 17 tools that manage go-to-market workflows for technical founders. You get commands to initialize projects, define ICPs and buyer pains, research competitors, and run gap analysis that generates concrete next actions. The server translates MCP calls into JSON envelopes POSTed to Cantrip's API, maintaining project context through a local .cantrip.json file. Includes a review workflow for accepting or rejecting AI-inferred entities like value props and contacts, plus generic CRUD operations across seven entity types. Requires a Cantrip API key and uses stdio transport via npx. Best for solo founders who want structured customer discovery and positioning research without leaving their editor.
