Edison Flores, founder of AliceLabs LLC, has provided an unvarnished look at the traffic and usage statistics for his Model Context Protocol (MCP) marketplace, MarketNow. Despite reaching 33 countries with zero marketing budget, the platform sees low overall volume, with approximately 2,500 requests in the last reporting period. Flores attributes the high traffic from the Netherlands to Vercel's edge network rather than actual user engagement, identifying the US as the primary source of human traffic. He emphasizes that the platform's core differentiator is its robust, 8-layer security auditing pipeline, which has successfully identified and quarantined a trojan, and plans to focus on community engagement platforms like Reddit and Hacker News for growth.
