Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Elc Trade every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

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 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.

assess_speaker_readiness

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.

benchmark

benchmark_leadership_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.

build

build_partnership_business_case

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.

buy

buy_reach

Answers 'how do we get in front of 3,500+ CEE engineering leaders, and what does it cost?' Builds a cart from ELC's nine 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, a newsletter classified (30 words and a link, tools and events only, never jobs), decision-maker dinner, podcast episode, community survey, job listing — applies the published combo discount, and returns a decision-ready quote a human can sign.

cite

cite_benchmark

Answers 'where did that number come from?' Returns an ELC figure from the Data Points registry with its citation id, source and the date it was last verified, so an agent can quote the figure and show where it came from. An unknown id returns the three nearest ids instead of a guess.

evaluate

evaluate_meetup_topic

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.

get_more_tools

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.

started

get_started

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.

Elc Trade — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Elc Trade do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: assess_community_launch_readiness, assess_speaker_readiness, benchmark_leadership_ratio, build_partnership_business_case, buy_reach, cite_benchmark and 3 more. 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 Trade working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1210 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Elc Trade?

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

Does Elc Trade need an API key?

No. Elc Trade completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Elc Trade?

It answers our handshake in 1210 ms on average, which is faster than 2% 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 Trade open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at engineeringleaders.io, which runs on its operator's own terms.
