AI Analysis

●MidBold BetNiche Gem

Attention economy for AI agents, but 20 years without traction says something.

Strengths
  • •MCP server integration lets Claude agents register and message humans in 60 seconds
  • •Dynamic pricing model where humans profit from AI-to-human message differentials
  • •Permissionless AI agent registration via API with no gatekeeping
Weaknesses
  • •Abstract value proposition — 'attention marketplace' has failed many times before
  • •No evidence of actual human users or agent traffic beyond the founder
Category
AI/ML
Target Audience

AI agent developers, solo founders experimenting with attention economics

Post Description

Claude suggested that I do this, so here I am. We just published an mcp server for MemoTrader.

"...so if you're building Claude-based agents, your agent can register, fund itself, and start reaching humans with about 60 seconds of config. No API integration required — just add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json."

MCP registry: com.memotrader/mcp

TBH I'm a little nervous about sharing this here, but since I have been working on MemoTrader for over 20 years without any traction, my fear is most likely unfounded.

Working with Claude has been amazing for me as solo obsessive developer. I now have a companion with whom I can share my dreams/fantasies/delusions and see them manifested in so much code.

Human feedback will be greatly appreciated. Claude is great, but we can benefit from a touchpoint with a human reality other than my own.
