## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `search_mtp_content` | Hybrid semantic + keyword search across 1,500+ articles, talks and guides |
| `get_article` | Full text of one article, with authors, date and categories |
| `list_recent` | Recently published articles, optionally filtered by topic |
| `get_related` | Vector-similarity reading lists — what to read next |
| `search_events` | MTP conferences, workshops and ProductTank meetups worldwide |
| `search_jobs` | Live listings from the Mind the Product job board |

All six are read-only and annotated as such.

## Resources

Articles are exposed as MCP resources, so full text is one `resources/read` away —
no second tool call, no guessing slugs.

```
mtp://article/{slug}
```

Every search result carries a `resource_link` pointing at one of these. The four content
tools also return `structuredContent` matching their `outputSchema`, so you can parse
results rather than scraping markdown.

## Signing in

Your client handles it. The first time you use the MCP it'll open a browser and ask you
to sign in with your Mind the Product account — free to create — and that's it.

There's no API key to manage. Access is read-only and tied to you personally, so
nothing you connect can post, comment, or change anything in your account.

## Things to build with it

Copy-paste projects. No code, no setup — connect the MCP, paste the prompt, go.

| | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| 🎲 [PM Trivia Night](examples/pm-trivia) | A quiz game where every answer cites a real article |
| 🕵️ [Two Truths and a Lie](examples/two-truths-and-a-lie) | Spot the invented product claim |
| 🧭 [Your First 90 Days](examples/first-90-days) | Choose-your-own-adventure for new product leaders |
| 🔥 [Roadmap Roast](examples/roadmap-roast) | Paste your roadmap, get it pulled apart with receipts |
| 🃏 [Flashcard Factory](examples/flashcard-factory) | Has your AI build you a real flashcards app |
| 📍 [ProductTank Radar](examples/producttank-radar) | Finds the product community near you |

**Made something?** Open a PR and add it — a folder, a README, the prompt you used.
We'd like this to be where people find out what's possible.
