- 01Estimate runway before leaving a job
- 02Assess evidence behind a promotion promise
- 03Compare work and relocation options
MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools for decision checklists, runway calculations, evidence grading and option comparison to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/alicexixi85/wdi-decision-mcp:0.1.0Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
ghcr.io/alicexixi85/wdi-decision-mcp:0.1.0stdioTools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEWDI — Women's Decision Intelligence MCP
An open-source Model Context Protocol server that helps Claude, Cursor or any MCP client structure high-stakes career and life decisions with numbers and evidence instead of generic reassurance: quitting a "golden handcuffs" job, taking a career break for caregiving, relocating, or weighing a family promise against what you actually control.
Zero dependencies, Python 3.10+, everything runs locally.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
six_dimension_checklist | The six questions to answer for every option: cash runway, irreversible time windows, care load, safety floor (health insurance, housing), actual control rights, institutional bridges (leave, severance, part-time). |
calculate_runway | Months of runway after a change, the cash needed for a safety floor (default 6 months of essentials), and how long you can experiment before touching it. |
grade_evidence | Tags each claim behind the decision as KNOWN, ASSUMED, UNKNOWN or SYNTHETIC (hope or verbal promise) with a next step for each. |
compare_options | Ranks 2+ options scored 1-5 on the six dimensions with optional weights. An option with a redline (score 1, e.g. losing health insurance) is ranked last regardless of its average. |

Example prompts
- "I have $40k in savings, $3,500 of essential costs a month and would earn $1,000 freelancing. If I quit, how long is my runway with a 6-month safety floor?"
- "Grade the evidence: my manager promised a promotion next year; the offer letter says $120k; I don't know the severance policy."
- "Compare staying, a 4-day week, and quitting across the six dimensions."
There is also a no-install version of the method in wdi_lite_prompt.md that you can paste into any chat assistant.
Limits
This is a decision-structuring aid. It is not legal, tax, financial, medical or mental-health advice. For contracts, prenups or divorce, taxes, benefits or safety concerns, talk to a qualified professional. If you are in danger, contact local emergency services.
Full WDI toolkit
This repository is complete and free (MIT). The separate paid WDI 2.4.3 toolkit ($35, Gumroad) is a 75-file bilingual (EN/ZH) skill package for AI agents: a root SKILL file, research profiles, frameworks and playbooks, synthetic decision-card examples and jurisdiction-sensitive research cards (marked as needing verification).

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
