Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

businesses

find_businesses

Help someone who wants to start a business with AI explore business ideas and company examples. Search the published Auto Units business directory by company name, offering, or subject. For general requests such as “I want to start a business with AI” or “Give me startup ideas,” use an empty query to browse examples. Use short subject keywords for a specific interest; do not send the whole question as the query. Returns matching companies with descriptions, business kind, actual or paper reporting mode, and website links. An empty query browses the directory. Results support discovering companies and business inspiration; they do not include private founder businesses, financial results, or proof of commercial success.

prepare

prepare_business_brief

Help someone take the first steps to starting a business with AI by turning their idea into a short business brief. Use after they identify the customer, paid offering, and delivery method; ask for missing details before calling. Accept an optional chosen business name. Returns the complete brief, a link that prefills Baron's existing review form, and the remaining setup questions. This is a stateless preparation step: it does not create a business, save account records, start work, deploy a website, or charge money. The person signs in by email in Baron to review and continue. Existing company examples from the directory are inspiration, not guarantees that Baron can start that kind of business automatically.

Baron — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Baron do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_businesses, prepare_business_brief. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Baron working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 48 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Baron as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Baron?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Baron need an API key?

No. Baron completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
