💎 This is a bonus, paid-subscriber only edition of MKT1 Newsletter.


I’ve always thought about MKT1 Newsletter as more than a collection of writing. It’s meant to be a system for running marketing. Templates and resources in Sheets, Docs, Figma, and even Lovable apps were a start.

But with MCP servers, it’s now possible to run your marketing team on the MKT1 Method. You can have your own C-Level Gen Marketer operating inside Claude.

So we built the Gen Marketer MCP and started adding skills to it. The beta is live now, available for paid subscribers only.

What’s an MCP Server?
An MCP server (Model Context Protocol server) is a service that connects an AI model like Claude to external tools, knowledge, and capabilities. It lets Claude pull in specialized context, instructions, and capabilities on demand.
In this case, think of it like an integration or API that adds the MKT1 brain to Claude.

Once you add the MKT1 Gen Marketer MCP to Claude, it should work across Claude Chat, Claude Code, and Cowork. Connect it once, and new skills will show up automatically as we build and deploy them.

To explore what’s available, connect the MCP server, then ask Claude: “What can the Gen Marketer MCP help with?” Detailed instructions below ↓
