What they did

bhagyeshsp sells a set of 50 printed facilitation cards. The card data lives on Cloudflare Workers behind an MCP server users install in Claude Desktop.

How it went

Facilitators plan workshops with the product’s data; he accepts that determined users could scrape it.

Worth knowing

For non-developers, an installable MCP beats an API.
