The Model Context Protocol lets your agent call external tools.@cognilead/mcp-servergives it six — two free, four gated. Draft a cold pitch from a scraped signal, score the fit, register a lead, kick off a campaign, render an evidence pack. Every gated call is anchored to Chainlog from the first request, so the audit trail starts before you’ve even shipped to production.

The six tools

Two free forever. Four behind an API key.

The free tools are top-of-funnel — draft and score, no key required, daily quotas only. The gated tools touch the real pipeline: every call writes to your Chainlog shard and counts against your send budget.

cognilead.draft_pitchfree

Draft a three-sentence engineer-to-engineer cold pitch from a public signal — a job post URL, a repo, an HN thread. EU/CH jurisdiction routing through PHI Gateway.

20 / day
cognilead.score_signalfree

Rate a scraped JSON signal for fit against a target product (0–100, deterministic). Top-of-funnel filtering before you commit a draft call.

50 / day
cognilead.ingest_leadgated

Register a lead in the pipeline. Runs the intersect step (suppression → dedup → Chainlog anchor) so the lead enters with an immutable timestamp.

counts against send budget
cognilead.run_campaigngated

Kick off a campaign by id, optionally restricted to a list of lead ids. Resend Automations drives the sequence; AgentGate gates every step.

per-send billing
cognilead.suppressgated

Add an email or domain to the suppression list. Honored across all sender pools in under 60 seconds. Writes a Chainlog event.

free, gated tier only
cognilead.evidence_exportgated · Growth+

Export the Chainlog-backed GDPR evidence pack — JSON for free on any paid tier, or render the 6-page A4 PDF and return a signed download URL.

Install

Three IDEs, one config block.

The binary is cognilead-mcp, distributed via npm, run on demand with npx. Drop the JSON into your IDE’s MCP config file and restart. Omit the API key to run in free-tier mode — only the two free tools will be callable; gated tools return a 401 with an inline signup URL.

Free vs paid

Free gets you the wow. Paid gets you the pipeline.

The free tools never expire and never require a key — they exist so an agent can learn the surface area before you commit. The gated tools are the upsell: they touch real sender domains, real Chainlog events, real evidence packs.

From install to first call

Two free tools today. The full pipeline when you’re ready.

Install the MCP server, draft a pitch from a job post, score a scraped signal — all without an API key. When the agent starts asking to run real campaigns, hand it a key and the gated tools light up.
