    How to connect

    How to connect minradar to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://minradar.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect minradar to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://minradar.com/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (8)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    find_unmet_demandRank App Store opportunities in apps that already have a large user base but whose users are clearly unhappy (unmet demand). Returns a ranked table with tier, score, rating and scale. Use this first when deciding what app to build.
    find_solo_buildableFind opportunities a single developer can realistically build: clear winnability plus an explicit single-user, local or offline core. Use when solo feasibility is the primary constraint.
    validate_paying_marketRank app categories by evidence that users already pay inside them: how many of its apps reach the store-wide Top-Grossing chart, how many charge upfront, paywall language in sampled reviews, and review depth. Call this before building to confirm a market monetises.
    get_opportunity_briefFull evidence dossier for one app: score breakdown, plain-language diagnosis, complaint themes with verbatim user quotes, review provenance, and matching open-source accelerators. Use after find_low_hanging_fruit to inspect a specific candidate.
    generate_app_briefProduce a ready-to-build product specification for an opportunity, formatted for a specific AI coding agent (codex, claude, or cursor). Includes the wedge, the verbatim complaints to fix, verified open-source accelerators, and a verification plan.
    search_open_source_acceleratorsFind maintained, commercially reusable open-source projects for a niche, with license posture. Use to avoid rebuilding infrastructure and to check whether a dependency is safe to ship.
    explain_methodExplain the scoring formulas, weights, and the honest limitations of the data. Use when a user questions the numbers.
    market_statsReport local data coverage (apps, reviews, chart snapshots) and the last ingest run.
