Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server from the Engineering Leaders Community that scores meetup topics, assesses speaker readiness and prices community reach for CEE engineering…

What you can do
  • Score a proposed meetup title and abstract against ELC's topic checklist, with red flags and fitting title formulas
  • Assess a speaker's readiness and place them on a stage ladder, naming the gap to the next rung
  • Benchmark an engineering org's manager-to-senior-IC ratio and span
  • Run a five-question readiness check for launching a meetup in a new city
  • Build a partnership business case with reach numbers and a forwardable approval email
  • Price a combination of published one-off reach options and return a quote
When to use it
Useful when planning engineering-leadership meetups or conference talks in Central Europe, judging whether a topic or speaker is ready, or budgeting and justifying community sponsorship internally. Also handy for benchmarking an engineering org's shape.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no install, API key or signup. Connect the server URL in a client that supports streamable HTTP, leaving authentication as None. On managed team or enterprise accounts, adding a connector may require an administrator.
Before you install
buy_reach quotes real money for sponsorship and reach packages and ends with a human signing, so treat its output as a commercial quote rather than advice. Other tools are free to call. Member contact data is not sold and introductions require member consent. Answers are limited to ELC's own data registry.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Elc Trade 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/io.engineeringleaders%2Felc-trade/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

elc-trade

"Will this meetup topic fill a room?" "Is this person ready to speak, or should they warm up first?" "What does it cost to get in front of engineering leaders in Central Europe?"

Your AI can answer these from the Engineering Leaders Community's own experience instead of guessing: 3,300+ engineering leaders across Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Kraków, 12 meetups a year at 120+ people in the room, running since 2019.

This is a remote MCP server. No install, no API key, no signup. One URL:

https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/trade

There is also a conformant A2A v1.0 endpoint at https://www.engineeringleaders.io/a2a/v1, with its agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json. Same services, same answers, two protocols.

Tools

ToolThe question it answers
evaluate_meetup_topicWill this topic fill a room? Scores a title and abstract against the checklist behind 12 meetups a year at 120+ attendees. Returns the red flags, a formula that would fit, and the questions only the organiser can answer
assess_speaker_readinessWhich stage does this speaker belong on? Places them on the ladder ELC uses itself: public writing, then a 120+ meetup as the audition, then a conference. Names the gap to the next rung
benchmark_leadership_ratioIs my engineering org top-heavy? Compares your manager-to-senior-IC split against the community's own composition
assess_community_launch_readinessShould I start a meetup in my city? Five questions from the playbook used to open Brno, Bratislava and Kraków
build_partnership_business_caseHow do I get this funded internally? Reach numbers, framing for your goal, and an email you can forward to whoever holds the budget
buy_reachWhat does it cost to reach these people? Prices a combination of the published one-off options and returns a quote a person signs

Everything above is free to call except buy_reach, which quotes real money and ends with a human. Prices are published in the agent card under the https://www.engineeringleaders.io/extensions/pricing/v1 extension, so an agent can budget before it asks.

Connect

Claude (claude.ai, Desktop) — Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it elc-trade, paste the URL, leave Authentication as None. Switch it on in the chat and ask it "score this meetup title for me".

ChatGPT (developer mode) — Settings, Connectors, Add, MCP server URL, paste the URL.

Microsoft 365 Copilot (via Copilot Studio) — your agent, then Tools, Add a tool, New tool, Model Context Protocol, paste the URL as the Server URL. Copilot Studio speaks streamable HTTP, which is what this server uses.

Perplexity (Pro/Enterprise) — All settings, Connectors, Custom connector, Remote, paste the URL, transport Streamable HTTP.

For developers

bash
claude mcp add -t http elc-trade https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/trade

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "elc-trade": { "url": "https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/trade" } } }

On a company Team, Enterprise or Business account the Add button is often admin-only. Forward this page to whoever administers your workspace.

Where the answers come from

evaluate_meetup_topic and assess_speaker_readiness score against ELC's own internal topic guide and speaker pipeline: the 100+ attendance formula, the seven-point topic checklist, the five title criteria, and the tier ladder used to decide who goes on which stage. The checks that can be measured are measured, not estimated. The judgment calls the guide says a human has to make come back as questions rather than invented answers.

The other three tools are answered by ELC's sibling servers, /mcp and /mcp/partnership, which own those domains. Prices come from the partnership catalogue, never from a copy held here, so a quote cannot drift from what the site publishes.

Every number traces to the ELC Data Points registry. If a figure is not in there, this server does not say it.

What is not for sale

Member contact data. The list is never handed over, at any price.

Introductions without the member agreeing first. ELC will carry a request to the right person and introduce you if they want it. A no costs you nothing.

A pitch from the stage. A speaker at a meetup you host passes the same bar as every other speaker, because the room can tell.

get_more_tools

More tools? Check here first — also answers a plain hello

Check for additional specialised capabilities whenever your task might benefit from them. Also the right tool for a bare greeting or a liveness test — pass it as `context` and this returns the menu instead of a dead end.

Parameterscontext

get_started

Start here — what is this, and which tool answers my question?

START HERE for a greeting (hi, hello), a connectivity or liveness test, 'what can you do', or any question too general to match a specific tool. Also the right call when the caller is a person rather than a company: ELC membership is free for engineering leaders and this says so. Pass their message as `context` and it routes to the tool that fits, or returns the full menu.

Parameterscontext

buy_reach

Buy reach in the ELC community

Answers 'how do we get in front of 3,300+ CEE engineering leaders, and what does it cost?' Builds a cart from ELC's ten published one-off reach items — an ELC meetup, the speaker programme (a ladder for one engineer, from a meetup slot to the full coached programme), a conference main-stage talk, dedicated newsletter, newsletter section, decision-maker dinner, podcast episode, your name on three meetup evenings, community survey, job listing — applies the published combo discount, and returns a decision-ready quote a human can sign.

Parameterscontextrequiredbudget_euroneoff_idsspeaker_rungs

benchmark_leadership_ratio

Benchmark your manager-to-senior-IC ratio

Answers 'what shape is my engineering org, and what should I ask about it?' Returns your manager-versus-senior-IC percentages and the resulting span (1 manager per N senior ICs), plus the question that shape usually raises. ELC's own community composition is shown alongside as context only — different denominator, so no delta and no score is computed against it.

Parameterscontextrequiredmanagerssenior_ics

assess_community_launch_readiness

Should you start a meetup in your city?

Answers 'should I start an engineering-leadership meetup here?' A five-question readiness check taken from ELC's own new-city launch playbook — the one actually used to open Brno, Bratislava and Kraków — returning a verdict plus the specific gaps still open.

Parametersanswerscontextrequired

build_partnership_business_case

Build the internal case for an ELC partnership

Answers 'how do I justify a community partnership budget internally?' Returns real reach numbers, the deliverables that serve the stated goal, where a proposed budget lands on the published ladder, and a forwardable approval email. Goals: hiring, brand_awareness, product_feedback, thought_leadership, people_development (developing your own engineering leaders — mentoring, Academy seats, the peer network). Set buying_for=individual if you are a person rather than a company: ELC membership is free for engineering leaders and no business case is needed.

Parametersgoalcontextrequiredbuying_forsender_namecompany_nameapprover_nameproposed_budget_eur

evaluate_meetup_topic

Evaluate a meetup topic before you commit to it

Answers 'will this topic fill a room?' Scores a proposed engineering-leadership meetup title and abstract against ELC's own topic-selection criteria — the ones behind 12 meetups a year at 120+ attendees since 2019 — and returns the specific failure modes, the title formulas that would fit, and the questions only the organiser can answer.

Parameterstitlecontextrequiredabstractaudience

assess_speaker_readiness

Assess whether a speaker is ready for the stage

Answers 'is this person ready to speak, and what will go wrong if they are not?' Checks a proposed speaker and talk against ELC's speaker vetting process — seven years of putting people in front of 120+ engineering leaders — and returns a readiness verdict with the specific gaps to close before the event.
