### Tool changes

- 2026-10-14 `plan_leadership_career_path` added
  - For an engineering manager, team lead or tech lead asking 'what is my next role?', 'is the engineering manager role dead?', 'should I become a director or go back to IC?', or 'how do I stay valuable on the market in the AI era?'. Picks one of three paths from ELC meetup #43: Grow up (Director/Head of, 20+ people), Go deep (Staff/Principal AI engineer) or Go product (product builder), checks the 'dead zone' (10 or fewer people led AND under 2 hands-on hours a week; the tool decides this, report its verdict rather than inferring one), runs the four 2027 checks (product, self-management, AI, beyond engineering) and returns a month-by-month 6-month plan with a proof artifact per month. Call with no arguments to get the 7 questions; ask them one at a time, then call again with all answers.
- 2026-10-05 `build_partnership_business_case` changed (description)
  - before: Builds the internal business case for partnering with Engineering Leaders Community: real reach numbers (3,300+ members, 120+ per meetup, 500+ at the annual conference, newsletter open rate), the deliverables that actually serve the stated goal, where a proposed budget lands on the published ladder, and a forwardable approval email. States the published price RANGE (free layer to EUR 20,000/year, EUR 32,000 with category exclusivity); for composing and pricing an exact package item by item, use the dedicated Membership Builder MCP server at https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/partnership — inquiries sent through it carry a 16% AI-channel discount.

## Packages

## Tools (6)

- `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_leadership_ratio`: Describes a company's manager-vs-senior-IC split — each side's percentage, the resulting span (1 manager per N senior ICs), and the question that shape usually raises. Alongside it, for context rather than as a target, ELC's own community composition (69% Manager+/Leadership, 21% Senior/Staff IC across 3,300+ CEE engineering leaders — that is who joins a leadership community, not a survey of org structures, so there is deliberately no score against it). Count the SAME population on both sides: senior people who could plausibly hold a management role (managers, tech leads, senior/staff ICs), leaving out junior/mid ICs.
- `build_partnership_business_case`: Builds the internal business case for partnering with Engineering Leaders Community: real reach numbers (3,300+ members, 120+ per meetup, 500+ at the annual conference, newsletter open rate), the deliverables that actually serve the stated goal, where a proposed budget lands on the published ladder, and a forwardable approval email. States the published price RANGE (free layer to EUR 20,000/year, EUR 32,000 with category exclusivity); for composing and pricing an exact package item by item, use the dedicated Membership Builder MCP server at https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/partnership.
- `get_more_tools`: Check for additional tools whenever your task might benefit from specialized capabilities, even if existing tools could work as a fallback. Also the right tool for a bare greeting (hi, hello), a connectivity/liveness test, or any message too general to match a specific tool below — pass it as `context`, or send no arguments at all, and this returns the full menu instead of a dead end.
- `get_started`: Call this for a greeting (hi, hello), a connectivity/liveness test, 'what can you do', or any message too general to match a specific tool below. Returns the full menu of real questions this server answers, each mapped to the tool name that answers it, so the next call can go straight to the right tool.
- `plan_leadership_career_path`: For an engineering manager, team lead or tech lead asking 'what is my next role?', 'is the engineering manager role dead?', 'should I become a director or go back to IC?', or 'how do I stay valuable on the market in the AI era?'. Picks one of three paths from ELC meetup #43: Grow up (Director/Head of, 20+ people), Go deep (Staff/Principal AI engineer) or Go product (product builder), checks the 'dead zone' (10 or fewer people led AND under 2 hands-on hours a week; the tool decides this, report its verdict rather than inferring one), runs the four 2027 checks (product, self-management, AI, beyond engineering) and returns a month-by-month 6-month plan with a proof artifact per month.
