Overview

AI-generated overview

Coghelm's hosted MCP server that recommends and compares curated AI tools for leadership jobs and drafts 1:1 and board-update templates.

What you can do
  • Search and read the curated tool directory and job guides, including each guide's top pick, alternatives, how-to steps and FAQ
  • Recommend ranked tools for a described job, optionally filtered by budget or team size
  • Compare two to six tools side by side on category, free-plan flag, enterprise focus and guide mentions
  • Draft a time-boxed 1:1 agenda in Markdown from the topics, wins, concerns and goals you supply
  • Draft a board or exec update outline with headline, asks, numbers versus plan, wins, misses, risks and outlook
  • Preview the paid Leader's AI Playbook and retrieve its machine-readable offer details
When to use it
Useful when a manager or executive wants tool suggestions tied to a specific leadership task, such as running 1:1s, writing a board update or researching a competitor, or wants a quick structured draft of a 1:1 agenda or board outline.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key or account is needed. Stdio-only clients can bridge to it with npx mcp-remote, which requires Node.js. Self-hosting requires Node 20+ and a local install.
Before you install
The free-plan and enterprise-focus flags are curated and may be stale, so verify on vendor sites. The hosted endpoint records anonymous usage counts (tool name, client name and version, user agent, timestamp). The playbook offer links to a Stripe checkout for a $29 purchase that the human must complete; the server never buys anything itself. Drafts are template-based and leave placeholders rather than inventing numbers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Coghelm: AI tools for leaders in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.coghelm%2Fcoghelm/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Notes

  • The pricing flags (freePlan, enterpriseFocused) are curated and can go stale. Check vendor sites.
  • The hosted endpoint keeps anonymous usage counts: tool name, MCP client name/version, user-agent, and timestamp. It never stores IPs. This repo's code doesn't log anything.
  • REST equivalents and docs: https://coghelm.com/developers/
