Build it with AI

# Build an ELC membership with AI. Talk to ELC's AI, or plug ELC _into yours_ .

An ELC membership built with AI is the same either way: a package priced from the published catalog, a month-by-month year, and an itemized offer in your inbox.

[💬Chat here, nothing to installTwo questions in, the package assembles on screen with the total moving live. Works for people who have no AI tooling at all.](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/partner/chat/)[Connect your own AIOne URL added to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and your assistant can price, customize and send the whole package. Instructions below.](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/partnership?ref=partner-ai)

## Then ask it things like

-   “Should my company partner with ELC? We cannot reach senior engineers.”
-   “We have 15K for developing our engineering managers. What does that buy?”
-   “What happens month by month if we sign in October?”
-   “Can we be the only vendor in our category?”

## Questions people ask

What is the ELC Membership Builder?

An AI wizard that builds a tailored ELC membership: it qualifies your goal and budget, matches a package from the published catalog, customizes it line by line, lays out the 12-month journey, and sends the itemized offer.

How do I connect the ELC MCP server to my AI assistant?

Add https://www.engineeringleaders.io/mcp/partnership as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT developer mode, or Cursor. Streamable HTTP, no auth, no signup. No MCP-capable tool? The same builder runs as a chat at engineeringleaders.io/partner/chat/.

Is there a discount for building it with AI?

No. Building your membership with AI is an option, at the same list prices as the web configurator. Pilot Meetup keeps its 100% credit against a company membership signed within 90 days.

Every price the builder quotes comes from the [published catalog](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/partner/offer-catalog.json), the same file the [configurator](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/partner/membership/) renders, so the AI cannot tell you a different number than the website. Terms are confirmed by Marian on a call. ELC takes max 10 partners per year.
