MCP support

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.

Comments
New to MCP?
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.
