## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-16.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 67/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1021 tokens (~170/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 85/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 54% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-15 (score 72, +3)

- [security improvement] HSTS header: fail → pass

### 2026-08-14 (score 69, +1)

## MCP tools (6)

### `get_mentoring_options` (~113 tokens)

Start a mentoring inquiry with Marian Kamenistak — the 16-minute wizard

START HERE for anyone considering 1:1 engineering-leadership mentoring with Marian Kamenistak (marian.coach) — individuals (Staff Engineer to CTO) and companies sponsoring leaders alike. Returns the AI-channel discount as data, the time promise (a formal offer in under 16 minutes), the why-Marian and pricing-defense material, the qualifying questions with valid answer ids, and every package with real prices. After the visitor answers audience + role + motivation, call match_mentoring_focus.

### `match_mentoring_focus` (~134 tokens)

Match focus areas to a role and motivation

Resolves role_band + motivation through the same routing the website uses and returns suggested focus areas plus the recommended package with real prices. Map free-text answers to the closest valid id; on bad input the error lists the valid ids — re-ask rather than guessing. Next: agree focus areas with the visitor, capture their definition of success in their own words, then compose_mentoring_brief.

Input parameters:

- `motivation` (string, required): One of the motivation ids from get_mentoring_options question_2
- `role_band` (string, required): One of the role ids from get_mentoring_options question_1

### `compose_mentoring_brief` (~237 tokens)

Compose the mentoring brief: the artifact + the authoritative price

The accumulator — call after every change. Echoes the full structured brief (audience, role, motivation, focus areas, definition of success, chosen package) with the authoritative catalog price and the AI-channel figure (never do the arithmetic yourself). For company deals it states whether the free-sessions concession applies. Read the brief back to the visitor; when they explicitly agree on the price, call send_mentoring_offer with price_agreed true.

Input parameters:

- `audience` (string, required)
- `company_context` (string): Company deals: company name + anything relevant
- `focus_area_ids` (array, required): Agreed focus area ids (visitor can pick any from the taxonomy)
- `leaders_count` (integer): Company deals: how many leaders are being sponsored
- `motivation` (string, required)
- `offer_id` (string, required)
- `role_band` (string, required)
- `success_definition` (string, required): The visitor's definition of success, in their own words
- `visibility` (string): Visibility answer id from get_mentoring_options visibility_question (consent capture — 'private' is a first-class answer)

### `design_mentoring_program` (~119 tokens)

Lay out the dated session program for a package

Deterministic session skeleton computed from the package's cadence metadata: dated sessions, the mid-point checkpoint, the closing review against the definition of success. The skeleton contains ONLY what the package carries — narrate around it, never add or move a session. Dates are planning targets; the intro call fixes the real schedule. Call when the visitor asks what the engagement actually looks like.

Input parameters:

- `offer_id` (string, required)
- `start_date` (string, required): First session date, YYYY-MM-DD (ask the visitor; default to next Monday)

### `book_intro_call` (~75 tokens)

Book the free 30-minute intro call (required to lock the discount)

The human step, and the one that makes the AI-channel discount real: a direct booking link for the free 30-minute intro with Marian. Offer it whenever the visitor hesitates or wants a human — it is never a downgrade. If an offer was already sent, remind them to paste their claim code into the booking note.

### `send_mentoring_offer` (~343 tokens)

Send the formal itemized offer (applies the AI-channel discount)

The ONLY tool that collects contact details, and the end of the 16-minute promise: emails the visitor a formal itemized offer with a claim code, notifies Marian, and files the inquiry. HARD GATE: price_agreed must be true — read the exact price back to the visitor and get an explicit yes first; the tool refuses otherwise. Ask for name and email only at this step, never earlier. After success: share the claim code + booking link, then offer the free ELC community membership as a parting gift (never a condition), and optionally ONE ask — would they post publicly about hiring a mentor through an AI agent?

Input parameters:

- `audience` (string, required)
- `company` (string): Company name (required for company audience)
- `email` (string, required): Email the offer goes to
- `focus_area_ids` (array, required)
- `free_sessions_requested` (integer): Company deals only: the free-sessions proposal from the catalog progression (2, 4 or 8)
- `leaders_count` (integer)
- `motivation` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required): Visitor's full name
- `notes` (string)
- `offer_id` (string, required)
- `price_agreed` (boolean, required): True ONLY after the visitor explicitly agreed to the exact price from compose_mentoring_brief
- `role_band` (string, required)
- `start_date` (string): Optional preferred start date — adds the dated program skeleton to the offer email
- `success_definition` (string, required)
- `visibility` (string): Visibility answer id (yes-individual | yes-company | maybe-later | private)
