Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

assess

assess_community_launch_readiness

Answers 'should I start an engineering-leadership meetup in my city?' using ELC's own new-city launch playbook (the real doc used to launch Brno, Bratislava and Kraków) as the checklist: speaker network, promo channels, a named local operator, realistic first-event targets, and a promo budget. Call without answers to get the 5 questions; call with all 5 to get a verdict plus the specific open gaps.

benchmark

benchmark_leadership_ratio

Compares a company's manager-vs-senior-IC split against the ELC community's own composition (69% Manager+/Leadership, 21% Senior/Staff IC, computed from 3,100+ CEE engineering leaders). Both counts are for the SAME population — senior people who could plausibly hold a management role (managers, tech leads, senior/staff ICs); leave out junior/mid ICs on both sides so the comparison is apples to apples. Returns each side's percentage, the delta from the peer baseline, and a verdict.

build

build_partnership_business_case

Builds the internal business case for sponsoring/partnering with Engineering Leaders Community: real reach numbers (3,100+ members, 120+ per meetup, 500+ at the annual conference, newsletter open rate), goal-specific framing (hiring, brand awareness, product feedback, thought leadership), and a forwardable approval email. Does NOT state ELC's own pricing — the site itself publishes no per-tier rate card ('book a call for a real quote'), so this tool never invents one either.

Elc Toolkit — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Elc Toolkit do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: assess_community_launch_readiness, benchmark_leadership_ratio, build_partnership_business_case. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Elc Toolkit working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 31 of 31 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 942 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Elc Toolkit?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Elc Toolkit need an API key?

No. Elc Toolkit completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Elc Toolkit?

It answers our handshake in 942 ms on average, which is faster than 7% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Elc Toolkit open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
