Eng Leadership Toolkit MCP server

What it does

This server provides engineering leadership benchmarks, career assessment tools, and 1:1 mentoring playbooks based on data from 3,400+ paid mentoring sessions with 300+ engineering leaders across 17+ countries. It helps engineering managers and ICs answer questions about compensation, readiness for promotion, leadership development, and team management practices.

• Calculate market value for a developer or engineering manager role, including skill assessment and 2026 salary estimates for Western Europe.
• Assess readiness to become a team lead using a 17-question test that identifies gaps and provides a three-way verdict (ready now, 6-12 months out, or stay IC).
• Access real 1:1 session templates and playbooks for common scenarios like first sessions, underperformance discussions, and promotion conversations.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
