I shipped 6 open-source AI tools for small businesses in 30 days

Why I'm posting this

Most small-business owners try ChatGPT, get generic answers, churn within 60 days. Custom AI consulting starts at $5K-$15K. There's a real gap in the middle.

For the last 30 days I've been building toward closing it. Every artifact below is open source, MIT licensed, free to use right now — no signup, no email gate.

The 6 tools

1. CLAWVR MCP Server — install once in Claude Desktop, get 4 tools for generating SMB AI strategies across 13 verticals.
https://github.com/Steffd415/clawvr-mcp-server

2. CLAWVR Agent Skill — drop-in Claude Skill that auto-detects your business vertical and outputs a custom AI Operating System.
https://github.com/Steffd415/clawvr-agent-skill

3. 25 vertical AI playbooks — master prompts + 6 workflow superprompts each for dental, contractor, restaurant, real estate, law, vet, salon, photographer, fitness, insurance, CPA, pet groomer, auto repair, tutoring, lawn care, and more.

4. Master prompts corpus — the canonical repo aggregating everything above.

5. Free AI Business Audit Tool — 8 questions, ~90 seconds, Gemini-generated 1-page strategy custom to a single business.

6. 6 Custom GPTs on the OpenAI GPT Store — vertical-specific GPTs (real estate, CPA, lawyer, dental, HVAC + a master strategy generator).

All 6 in one place: https://clawvr.com/tools

Why open source

The paid version of this (custom delivery with 18 superprompts + a 30-day roadmap + ROI projections) is $297 one-time. The free tools above will get you 80% of the value if you do the setup yourself.

For everyone who can't, the paid version exists. For everyone else, the open-source corpus is yours.

Tech stack (for the devs)

  • Next.js 16 App Router on Vercel Fluid Compute
  • Supabase Postgres + RLS
  • Gemini Flash 2.5 for generation (~$0.001 per audit)
  • MCP server: TypeScript + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + Zod
  • Claude Agent Skill: just SKILL.md + vertical templates (no code)
  • Self-hosted email tracking (open-pixel gif + 302 click redirect) — built it tonight because Instantly's webhook is paid-tier

Who this is for

  • Devs building tools for small businesses: these patterns might save you time
  • SMB owners: install the MCP server in Claude Desktop tonight and watch what happens
  • Makers: the entire open-source corpus is yours to fork, reuse, or improve

Looking for feedback, contributions, or rebuttals. What would you ship next?
