What your AI can do with it

  • Benchmark leadership ratios against ELC data
  • Build ROI estimates for partnerships
  • Run a readiness test before launching a community

Install elc-toolkit

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user elc-toolkit 'https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=elc-toolkit&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5lbmdpbmVlcmluZ2xlYWRlcnMuaW8vbWNwIn0=

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add elc-toolkit --url 'https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login elc-toolkit if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by marian-kamenistak/elc-toolkit in README.md.

"Is my engineering org top-heavy?" "How do I justify a conference/community sponsorship budget internally?" "Should I start a local engineering-leadership meetup?"

Your AI already gets asked these. Now it can answer with first-party data from Engineering Leaders Community: 3,300+ engineering leaders across Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Kraków, running since 2019, instead of guessing.

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

https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp

Open in a browser instead: The ELC Toolkit.

Tools

ToolThe question it answers
benchmark_leadership_ratioIs my org's manager-to-senior-IC ratio healthy? Compares your split against the ELC peer baseline (69% manager / 21% senior IC across 3,300+ CEE leaders)
build_partnership_business_caseHow do I justify a partnership budget for ELC internally? Real reach numbers, goal-specific framing, and a forwardable approval email — no invented pricing
assess_community_launch_readinessShould I start an engineering-leadership meetup in my city? 5-question readiness check straight from ELC's own new-city launch playbook
