What does this MCP do?

It forces your AI client to provide specific, evidence-based marketing strategies instead of generic advice. It validates ICP, channel fit, differentiation, evidence, and business outcomes.

How is this different from just prompting an AI?

Prompts are suggestions that an agent can ignore. This MCP uses a capability schema that creates an obligation, forcing the agent to meet specific logical requirements before it can finish its task.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can use this with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

What happens if my strategy is rejected?

The MCP will provide a specific verdict, such as AUDIENCE_BLIND or VANITY_DRIVEN, explaining exactly which part of your reasoning failed so you can fix it.

Does this work for B2B companies?

Yes, it is specifically designed to prevent common B2B errors like recommending consumer-focused channels for enterprise products.

Does Growth Strategist generate marketing strategies?

No. Growth Strategist performs zero content generation. It forces the AI agent to structure its own strategic reasoning into verifiable fields, then validates that the reasoning is logically consistent. The agent does all the thinking. the capability catches contradictions, generic advice, and vanity metrics.

What does it catch that a prompt instruction doesn't?

Prompt instructions are suggestions. agents routinely ignore 'be specific about the audience' or 'cite evidence.' Capability calls are obligations. the agent must fill every field. Beyond that, Growth Strategist has 10 consistency rules that catch domain-specific anti-patterns: generic ICP terms ('everyone', 'businesses'), feature-list differentiators ('we offer', 'best in class'), and vanity metric language ('impressions', 'followers'). A prompt can't enforce these. a capability schema can.

Can I use this for non-marketing strategy?

The 5 Decision Pivots are applicable to any domain where recommendations tend to be generic: business strategy, product strategy, sales tactics, partnership proposals. However, the semantic traps (vanity metric blocklist, feature-list differentiator detection) are calibrated for marketing. For other domains, consider building a specialized Reasoning MCP using the same Decision Pivot pattern.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through Growth Strategist.

01
Validate growth tactic
This capability acts as a structured reasoning engine that checks growth recommendations against five strict criteria: ICP specificity, channel fit, unique positioning, evidence, and business outcomes. It rejects any tactic that relies on vanity metrics or generic targeting.

Real work

What teams actually run

Auditing AI Strategy

Run your agent's proposed growth plan through the MCP to find logical holes and audience blind spots.

Refining ICP Profiles

Use the capability to push your agent to move from broad categories like 'marketers' to specific, actionable personas.

Validating New Channels

Check if a new platform like Reddit or Hacker News is actually a fit for your specific target user.

Positioning Stress Tests

Ensure your product's unique value proposition isn't something a competitor can just copy.

Automate a task

Put Growth Strategist to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Growth Strategist works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Growth Strategist to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
