SUMMARY

Curated AI tools, Claude skills, MCP servers & growth playbooks for solopreneurs, indie hackers and solo founders — the one-person-company AI stack you feed to Claude Code.

README.md

Awesome Solo AI Awesome

The home base for solopreneurs, indie hackers, and solo founders — every AI tool, Claude skill, MCP server, playbook, and growth tactic to build and grow a one-person company, curated and kept fresh, that you feed to Claude Code.

"The best companies of the next decade will be built by one person with the right tools and the discipline to ship."

A solo AI stack is the set of tools, Claude skills, MCP servers, and playbooks a one-person business uses to build, ship, and grow a product — making video, voice, images, code, automations, and distribution without hiring a team. This list curates that stack: every entry is verified, dead links are pruned, and the whole thing is published as llms.txt so your AI agent can read it and call any tool here.

Last updated: June 2026 · Curated by a working solo builder, not auto-generated.

💸 On a budget? See the Free Solo AI Stack — only tools with real free tiers or open-source licenses, enough to launch for $0.

🤖 Feed this to your agent. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-aware tool at the raw list and ask it to find the right tool for the job:

Why this list

There are big awesome lists for MCP servers, for Claude Code, and for generative AI — but nothing assembles the AI stack a one-person company actually runs on: the video/voice/image tools a solopreneur pays for, plus the MCP servers and Claude skills that let an agent drive them, plus the playbooks for shipping and growing solo. This is the home base for solopreneurs, indie hackers, and solo founders building with AI. Curated by judgment — tools that don't work get cut.

Legend

  • 🔌 API — has a public developer API
  • 🧩 MCP — has an official Model Context Protocol server (agent-callable)

FAQ

How do I edit videos with Claude / without code?
Wire a video tool's MCP server (e.g. HeyGen MCP or ElevenLabs MCP) into Claude Code, then describe the edit in plain language. See the guide.

Where is the HeyGen MCP / where is the Higgsfield MCP?
HeyGen ships an official MCP server. Higgsfield is API-first — drive it from an agent via its REST API or a thin MCP wrapper until an official server lands.

How do solo builders make talking-head / avatar videos at scale?
Clone yourself once in HeyGen or Argil, then generate from scripts via API. Full pipeline in the playbook.

How do I write production code with AI and avoid AI slop?
Use a verify-driven loop, tight scope, and review gates — see Eliminate AI-slop code.

How do I build no-code automations between AI tools?
Use n8n or Make; guide here.

What is the ui-ux-pro-max skill?
ui-ux-pro-max is a Claude Code skill that gives the agent a design knowledge base — 50+ styles, 161 color palettes, and font pairings — so it produces a coherent, non-generic design system from a single prompt, no designer needed.

What is the ponytail skill?
ponytail is a Claude Code skill that makes the agent prefer native platform features over hand-built code — "think like the laziest senior dev" — cutting roughly half the code it writes and reducing token cost.

What is the best Claude skill for SEO?
claude-seo is the most complete Claude Code SEO skill: technical audits, schema, E-E-A-T, backlinks, and GEO optimization for AI search, with PDF/Excel reports.
