I shipped an MCP server to AgenticMarket in 2 hours and it just went live.
Here is the full story: what I built, how much it costs, and the honest numbers so far.
What I Built
web-intelligence — 3 MCP tools in one server:
- web_search — search any query via DuckDuckGo, returns structured JSON
- fetch_page — fetch any URL and extract clean text content
- trend_scan — multi-angle trend scan on any topic
Built with Node.js. Zero dependencies. Deployed on Cloudflare Workers free tier (100K requests/day).
The Build Process (Honest)
Total build time: about 2 hours. Most of that was fighting wrangler config, not writing code.
The MCP protocol itself is simple — JSON-RPC over HTTP. If you can write a REST API, you can build an MCP server.
The real work was:
- Making DuckDuckGo Lite parsing robust (their HTML is not exactly clean)
- Getting HTTPS working on Cloudflare Workers (workers.dev subdomain registration took 30 minutes)
- The AgenticMarket review took about 12 hours
Pricing
I set it at /usr/bin/bash.05 per call with 10 free calls per user.
AgenticMarket takes a cut (10-20%), but as one of the first 100 creators I get 90% revenue share for the first year. That means I keep /usr/bin/bash.045 per paid call.
If this gets 100 calls per day = .50/day = 35/month. Passive. For a server I built once and will not touch again unless something breaks.
At 500 calls/day that is 75/month.
The Install Command
One line and it works in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI — any MCP-compatible editor:
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Install MCP Server ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
✗ Not authenticated
────────────────────────────────────────────────
› Run agenticmarket auth first
› Get your key at https://agenticmarket.dev
Why I Am Sharing This
Because MCP marketplaces are the 2008 App Store of AI tools.
The supply of quality MCP servers is tiny relative to the number of MCP-compatible AI agents in use right now. Every Claude Code user, every Cursor user, every Gemini CLI user can install MCP servers.
In 12 months this will be crowded. Right now, if you publish something useful that solves a real problem, you are competing with maybe 50 other servers — not 50,000.
The Numbers (Will Update)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Build time | 2 hours |
| Review time | 12 hours |
| Price | /usr/bin/bash.05/call |
| My cut | 90% |
| Calls so far | 0 (just went live) |
| Revenue so far | /usr/bin/bash.00 |
I will update this post in 30 days with real revenue numbers.
What You Should Build
Pick a niche tool you use that does not have an MCP server yet. Ideas:
- A Shopify inventory checker
- A patent search wrapper
- A domain availability checker
- A Reddit sentiment scanner
- A stock price lookup with historical data
The MCP protocol is just JSON-RPC. Build it. Ship it. One command install.
