One cofounder to plan your startup. And an AI team that does the work.

Bring a link, a repo, or a few notes. Pythe researches your market and writes a plan for your stage. Then you hand the next task to the team.

What is Pythe?

Pythe is an AI cofounder that leads a team of AI agents, each with its own cloud computer. They research, write, build and publish, analyse data and prepare outreach, working from a stage-aware startup roadmap. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

How it works

Describe your idea or company.
Pythe researches your market and competitors.
You get a roadmap and this week's three moves.
Hand a move off and your AI team does the work, each agent on its own computer: researcher, writer, engineer, analyst, outreach and operator.

Pricing

Free is £0 with no card. Base is £19 a month. Premium is £39 a month.

MCP troubleshooting

Fixes for the usual snags: a 401, an app not bound to a workspace, no plan yet, paused employees, credits, and clients that cached old discovery.

Updated 2026-10-13

You see	Why	Fix
“Reconnect Pythe and sign in again.”	The token is missing or expired, or the client was disconnected.	Reconnect in your client and sign in.
“This app is not bound to a Pythe workspace. Disconnect it and connect again.”	There is no ready workspace binding for this app.	Disconnect the app in your client (and on the Deploy page) and connect again, choosing a workspace.
“This workspace does not have an operating plan yet.”	The company has not finished onboarding.	Finish onboarding in Pythe. `get_plan_build` shows if a build is running or failed.
“The plan changed or is no longer accessible. Nothing was updated.”	Someone saved a newer plan after you read it.	Call `get_operating_plan` again, then retry.
`paused`	The employee is paused.	Resume them from Team in Pythe.
`employees`	The plan has no AI employees.	Employees are on Base and Premium.
`insufficient_credits`	Out of credits.	Check `get_credit_balance`. Credits refill monthly on paid plans.
“That mission was not found or is ambiguous.”	The milestone id or title did not match exactly one task.	Use the exact id from `get_operating_plan`.
A client that never shows tools	It cached old discovery metadata.	Restart the client. Claude Code: `claude mcp remove pythe` and add it again.
HTTP 429 from the REST gateway	Over 60 calls a minute for that key.	Wait 60 seconds.
HTTP 401 on `/mcp` with no token	Expected: it is the OAuth challenge.	Nothing to fix. The client should start the sign-in.

Check it works

Ask the client: “Use Pythe to show my operating plan.” You should see your milestones.
On the Deploy page, check the app appears under Connected apps with the right workspace.
For a REST key, run the diagnostics action. It reports whether the workspace and context are ready.
