AI knowledge base
Business Ideas Knowledge Base
A business idea database with search, filters, scores, and source-backed evidence.
Overview
Business Ideas Knowledge Base is my lab for working with ideas. Instead of keeping a loose notes list, every idea has structure, scores, and sources. The interface helps search for directions by solo-founder fit, AI leverage, capital, and B2B fit.
Problem
Business ideas are easy to collect but hard to compare. Without sources and criteria, the list becomes inspiration noise rather than a useful way to decide what to validate next.
Product bet
If an idea has sources, scoring, and fast search, it becomes easier to separate interesting inspiration from a direction worth validating with a product.
What I built
- Public lab with search, filters, sorting, and random idea discovery.
- Idea cards scored by difficulty, solo fit, and AI leverage.
- Detail modal with summary, customer, time to revenue, and source evidence.
- API routes for search, random ideas, and recommendations.
- Data model prepared for sources, timestamps, and MCP access.
AI layer
AI supports organization and recommendation: an idea has evidence, scoring, and profile context instead of being a plain note.
Architecture
Next.js, TypeScript, local data layer, API routes, Tailwind, Radix UI, and a component frontend embedded into this portfolio.
Key decisions
- A usable lab on the site first, without a separate app or auth.
- Sources and evidence as part of the data model, not a side note.
- UI closer to a calm research tool than a dashboard.
- Data and API separated from the portfolio layer so the lab can grow later.
Use the database through MCP
The database is also exposed as an MCP server for Codex and Claude Code. Once connected, an agent can search ideas, fetch evidence, use prompts, and recommend directions without copying data from the website by hand.
MCP endpoint
https://business-ideas.miekki-jerry.workers.dev/mcpbusiness-ideas-mcpCopy-paste setup
codex mcp add business-ideas --url https://business-ideas.miekki-jerry.workers.dev/mcp
codex mcp get business-ideas
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http business-ideas https://business-ideas.miekki-jerry.workers.dev/mcp
claude mcp get business-ideasPrompt to paste into Codex or Claude Code
Use the business-ideas MCP. First inspect business-ideas://overview and get_business_idea_facets. Then recommend 5 source-backed business ideas for my profile: [describe your skills, audience, capital, time]. For each idea include: why it fits, smallest MVP, first 10 customers, main risk, and source URLs.Outcome / evidence
A working public lab on bogumilluc.pl: users can search, filter, draw a random idea, and open source-backed idea details.
What I would do next
Add more sources, improve profile-based recommendations, and build a workflow for saving ideas into validation.
