## Description

Stop guessing whether your content is hitting the right note. Most people post on LinkedIn and hope for the best, but there's a measurable difference between a shouting brand and a respected authority. This MCP takes your text and breaks it down into hard metrics. It looks for things like how often you mention the reader versus yourself, how many actual facts you include, and how much conviction you're putting behind your claims. It's about moving from "I think this sounds good" to "I know this is high-authority content." When you connect this to your workflow via the Vinkius catalog, you get a way to audit your brand voice at scale. You can run your drafts through these checks to ensure your messaging stays consistent and professional before you ever hit publish. You'll get a clear picture of your content's impact without having to rely on gut feelings or subjective opinions.

## Tools

### get_customer_centricity_ratio
Tells you if your post helps the reader or just talks about you. This helps ensure your content provides real value.

### get_data_point_density
Shows how much actual evidence and data is packed into your content. It helps prove your claims are fact-based.

### get_definitive_statement_count
Counts how many times you use high-conviction, absolute language. This helps you measure how confident you sound.

### get_self_promotion_ratio
Measures how much of your post is a pitch versus actual education. Use this to avoid looking like a spam account.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze this draft for authority: 'We're so excited to launch our new tool. It's the best thing ever and you'll love it!'
```

**Response:** 
```
### Authority Analysis

| Metric | Score |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Customer-Centricity** | 0.0 |
| **Data Density** | 0.0 |
| **Self-Promotion** | 0.9 |

**Feedback:** This post is currently very self-focused. It lacks data points to back up your claims and doesn't mention how the user benefits from the new tool.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is this post too salesy? 'Check out our new ebook. It covers everything you need to know about marketing.'
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the text provided, here is the breakdown:

*   **Self-Promotion Ratio:** 0.12
*   **Data Density:** Low

This is a relatively low promotion score, but you could improve it by adding more specific educational value before the call to action.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much conviction is in this? 'You should probably consider our services if you have time.'
```

**Response:** 
```
### Conviction Check

*   **Definitive Statement Count:** 0

**Note:** Words like "should" and "probably" are considered low-conviction. To sound more authoritative, try using direct language like "Our services provide X results for Y companies."
```

## Capabilities

### Check reader focus
Determine if your content helps the audience or just talks about your own brand.

### Measure evidence density
Quantify how many facts and data points are included in your writing.

Identify how many times you use absolute language to project authority.

### Track self-promotion levels

## Use Cases

A brand manager wants to know if their thought leadership posts are actually helpful. They ask the agent to run get_customer_centricity_ratio on a batch of drafts to see if they're too self-centered.

### Boosting personal authority
A freelancer wants to sound more authoritative. They use get_definitive_statement_count to identify where they sound hesitant and rewrite those sections to be more direct.

### Balancing promotional content
A company is worried about being too salesy. They use get_self_promotion_ratio to keep their promotional content under a specific threshold to maintain a professional image.

### Proving content ROI
A content agency needs to prove value to a client. They use get_data_point_density to show that the content is evidence-based and high-quality rather than just fluff.
