Honest question, how much money would I make off an MCP service to generate passwords for claws and agents. Is there still gas left in the griftmobile, are prospectors still in need of shovels, will the gods bless my humble, shameless lunge for my slice of the pie?

There is a marketplace for free skills (in this case a markdown file saying "run openssl rand -hex 32")

I do not think there is any money for something that trivial.

Even the irrationally exuberant VCs wouldn't put money in that.

No, but if those VCs let their AI agents purchase things on their behalf, you could maybe trick those agents into thinking your cloud service was the better option.

Not much because if you gain any traction, within a day somebody will make a clone and make it free/open source.

This is the default answer for all vibe coded slop business ideas for a while.
