"Is my engineering org top-heavy?"
"How do I justify a conference/community sponsorship budget internally?"
"Should I start a local engineering-leadership meetup?"

Your AI already gets asked these. Now it can answer with first-party data from Engineering
Leaders Community: 3,100+ engineering leaders across Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Kraków,
running since 2019, instead of guessing.

This is a remote MCP server. No install, no API key. One URL:
