One cold-outreach engine for any target: HOOK/BRIDGE/SOFT-ASK, follow-up ladder, reply playbook.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A cold-outreach method layer that gives an assistant tools to structure, audit and follow up on cold pitches for brand deals, UGC, jobs, podcasts and client…

What you can do
  • Structure a cold pitch into HOOK/BRIDGE/SOFT ASK with per-target swap variables
  • Audit a draft message for violations such as money in a cold message, generic hooks or hard asks, with a rewrite recipe
  • Build a five-step follow-up ladder and decide the next move for reply types like price questions, ghosting or exposure offers
  • Build a three-option pricing menu and scan replies or briefs for red flags such as spec work or pay-on-performance
  • Return the whole method pack as one payload for a system prompt
When to use it
Useful when an assistant drafts or reviews cold outreach and you want a consistent, reply-focused structure instead of long generic pitches. It suits creators and freelancers pitching brand deals, sponsorships, jobs, podcasts or client work who want audits and follow-up plans.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package outbound-engine-mcp, so a Node.js runtime is needed. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared.
Before you install
It does not send messages or scrape prospects; it only returns frameworks and audits, so sending and research stay with you. Outputs are method guidance, not legal advice, and the README asks users to follow platform rules and outreach law for their channel and region. The README also points to a separate paid product.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Outbound Engine Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

README

Outbound Engine MCP

The cold-outreach method layer for AI agents. One engine, any target: brand deals, UGC, newsletter sponsorships, jobs, podcasts.

Built from the method behind The Outbound Engine.

Disclaimer. Outputs are structured outreach-method frameworks based on documented practice. Results vary by niche, proof quality, and consistency. Not legal advice. Follow platform rules and outreach law for your channel and region.


Why This Exists

Every AI agent that drafts cold outreach today has the same failure mode: it writes long, polite, generic pitches that ask a stranger for the biggest possible thing on the first touch. Those messages don't get replies, and outreach that doesn't get replies doesn't get deals.

This MCP encodes one rule and enforces it with tools:

A cold pitch is not trying to close a deal. It is trying to get a reply. The deal closes in the follow-up.

It does NOT send messages and does NOT scrape prospects. It is the method layer: give it a draft, a target type, or a reply — get back structure, violations, and the next move.

7 Tools

ToolWhat it returns
structure_cold_pitchHOOK / BRIDGE / SOFT ASK structure + the 4 swap variables (who to pitch, signal to research, proof to lead with, soft-ask object) per target type
audit_cold_messagePASS/FAIL audit of a draft: money in a cold message, identity-first opener, generic hook, hard ask, length over ~90 words, multiple asks — with a rewrite recipe
build_followup_ladderThe 5-step ladder (Day 3 / 7 / 12 / 18 / 25) — where 80% of deals actually close. The Day 25 break-up alone pulls ~30% of replies
handle_replyThe next move for any reply type: price question, interested, not now, no budget, exposure offer, spec request, pay-on-performance, ghosted
build_pricing_menuThe 3-option menu (Starter / Most Popular / Full) + the two scoping questions to ask first. Drop scope, never price
detect_red_flagsScans a reply or brief for walk-away signals: exposure-pay, spec work, pay-on-performance, budget mismatch, scope creep
get_full_packThe complete engine as one payload — drop it into a Claude Project system prompt

Sample Use

typescript
// Agent drafted a cold DM for a brand deal. Before sending:mcp.call("audit_cold_message", {  message: "Hi, I'm a UGC creator with 50k followers! I love your brand. My rate is $500/video...",  target_type: "brand_deal"});// Returns: FAIL — no_money_in_cold_message, no_identity_first_opener,// specific_hook_required + a 3-move rewrite recipe.
// Prospect replied asking "what do you charge?"mcp.call("handle_reply", { reply_type: "price_question" });// Returns: don't send one number — two scoping questions first, then the 3-option menu.

Target Types

brand_deal · ugc · newsletter_sponsorship · job · podcast · client_work

Same engine, four swapped variables per target. That's the whole trick.
