For agents
Point your AI at ELC
Your AI already gets asked whether a meetup topic is any good, whether an engineering org has too many managers, and what it costs to get in front of engineering leaders in Central Europe. Until now it guessed. Now it can answer from our data.
We have run 12 meetups a year since 2019, 120+ people in the room each time, across Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Kraków. Everything on this page comes out of that, not out of a survey panel.
What your agent can ask
Will this meetup topic fill a room?
Scores a title and abstract against the checklist behind 12 meetups a year at 120+ attendees. Returns the red flags, and the questions only the organiser can answer.
evaluate_meetup_topic· FreeIs this speaker ready for the stage?
Places a speaker on the ladder we use ourselves: public writing, then a meetup audition, then a conference. Tells you which rung and what closes the gap.
assess_speaker_readiness· FreeIs my engineering org top-heavy?
Compares your manager to senior-IC split against 3,300+ engineering leaders in Central Europe.
benchmark_leadership_ratio· FreeShould I start a meetup in my city?
Five questions from the playbook we used to open Brno, Bratislava and Kraków.
assess_community_launch_readiness· FreeHow do I get this funded internally?
Reach numbers, framing for your goal, and an email you can forward to the person holding the budget.
build_partnership_business_case· FreeWhat does it cost to reach these people?
Prices a combination of our published one-off options and returns a quote a human can sign.

Connect it
Most people want the MCP server. It works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and anything else that speaks MCP. No signup, no key.
claude mcp add -t http elc https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/tradeBuilding on Copilot Studio, watsonx Orchestrate or Gemini Enterprise? Those read an agent card. Ours is a conformant A2A v1.0 card, and the endpoint behind it is a real A2A server, not a pointer at something else.

What it costs
Most of it is free, and stays free. The tools that read our data or apply our judgment cost nothing to call, because they are how people find us.
Reach is the part you pay for. Prices sit in the agent card so your AI can budget before it asks. Every priced service ends in a quote that a person signs, so no agent can commit your company to anything by accident.
What we will not sell you
Member contact data. The list is never handed over, to anyone, at any price. A dedicated newsletter goes out from us to our own list.
Introductions without the member saying yes first. We will carry your request to the right person and introduce you if they want it. If they say no, that costs you nothing.
A pitch from our stage. A speaker at a meetup you host passes the same bar as every other speaker, because the room can tell.

Questions
What is an agent-callable service?
A service your AI assistant can use directly, without you copying anything into a chat window. Point Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at one of our endpoints and the tools appear alongside everything else it can do.
Do I need an account or an API key?
No. Both endpoints are open. We ask for an email only when you request something a person has to fulfil, like a quote.
What is the difference between the A2A endpoint and the MCP servers?
Same answers, two protocols. Use MCP if you are connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a coding agent, which is most people. Use A2A if you are building on Copilot Studio, watsonx Orchestrate or Gemini Enterprise, which read an agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json.
Can my agent buy something on its own?
Not today. Every priced service here ends in a quote that a person signs. We would rather tell you that than pretend a checkout exists.
