Details
From the project README@shashwatgtmalpha/craft-gtm-mcp v2.2.23
CRAFT GTM Framework MCP Server: a complete redesign with metric parsing, context-aware outputs, and a structured draft with placeholders where your inputs give no fact.
Use it hosted (no install)
Add https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/mcp to Claude or ChatGPT as a custom connector. It needs no sign-in and always runs the newest version (2.2.23). The same tools run as a free web app with a form per tool at https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/, and the setup steps are at https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/connect/.
The npm package below is an older version (2.0.1 on npm on 27 September 2026) until the next npm release. Use it only if you need a local stdio server.
What's New in v2.0.0
This is a major redesign addressing all critical issues from v1.x:
| Issue | v1.x | v2.0.0 |
|---|---|---|
| PMF Scorecard | Blank ___ outputs | Actually parses and scores your metrics |
| Launch Commander | Same 12-week template for all | Adapts to launch type, team size, budget |
| Retention Playbook | Generic health scores | Parses churn reasons, creates specific interventions |
| Competitive Intel | [Research] placeholders | Uses your competitor data, generates battle cards |
| CRAFT Analyzer | Blank scorecard output | Actually analyzes documents, finds gaps |
Installation
npm install -g @shashwatgtmalpha/craft-gtm-mcp
Or add to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"craft-gtm": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@shashwatgtmalpha/craft-gtm-mcp"]
}
}
}
Tools and inputs
Generated on 27 September 2026 from the server's own tool list and checked again on 17 October 2026 against tools/list of craft-gtm-mcp 2.2.23 (the same code as the hosted MCP address), so every tool name, title, description and input below is exactly what the server accepts. Every tool is read-only.
| # | Tool | Title | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | pmf_scorecard | PMF Scorecard | Generate a Product-Market Fit scorecard. Parses the metrics you provide (MRR, churn, NPS, CAC, LTV, retention, activation and similar) and scores each dimension against built-in benchmark ranges. |
| 2 | launch_commander | Launch Commander | Generate a context-aware launch plan. Have a date? Get a detailed timeline. Still planning? Enter 'TBD' or a quarter such as 'Q2 2027' for a flexible plan. |
| 3 | customer_interview_kit | Customer Interview Kit | Generate interview guides that ADAPT based on interview type, industry, and product complexity. Includes synthesis templates. |
| 4 | retention_playbook | Retention Playbook | Generate retention strategies. Has DISCOVERY MODE: if you don't know WHY people churn, get a churn analysis framework first. |
| 5 | partner_architect | Partner Architect | Design partner programs that ADAPT based on partner model type. Different structures for resellers vs referrals vs integrations vs affiliates. |
| 6 | crisis_planner | Crisis Planner | Generate crisis playbooks. Know your risks? Get specific playbooks. Not sure what to plan for? The tool uses a default set of common crises for your industry (not ranked by likelihood). |
| 7 | competitive_intel | Competitive Intel | Generate battle cards. If you know your strengths/weaknesses, get complete battle cards. If you only know competitors and win/loss stories, we'll derive your positioning. |
| 8 | craft_gtm_analyzer | CRAFT GTM Analyzer | Analyze a GTM document against the CRAFT framework. Parses the content, identifies gaps, scores each dimension and suggests sections to add. |

Design Principles (v2.0)
- No blank
___lines: where your inputs give no fact, the output shows a placeholder in brackets to fill in - Context-aware: outputs adapt based on inputs provided
- Discovery mode: if information is missing, tools ask questions to find it
- A structured draft with placeholders: each tool returns a structured draft to edit, with placeholders where your inputs gave no fact
- Progressive enhancement: more input gives a richer output

Hosted connector (Streamable HTTP)
The same tools are also available as a hosted MCP server, so they work in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile without installing anything.
- Server URL:
https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses). Authentication: none.
- Setup guide: https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/connect/
- In Claude: Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the server URL.
- In Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http craft-gtm https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/mcp
The npm package (stdio) and the hosted server run the same createServer() code in src/server.ts.
Privacy Policy
Full policy: https://craft-gtm.gtmhelix.com/privacy/ (also in PRIVACY.md).
- Data collection: the hosted server receives only the tool name and the inputs of each tool call. The npm package runs on your computer and sends nothing to us.
- Use and storage: inputs are used only to build that call's reply. Nothing is stored: no database, no files, no cache, no logging of inputs or outputs by our code.
- Third-party sharing: none by us. Netlify hosts the server and processes requests under its own policy (https://www.netlify.com/privacy/). Fonts are served from this site, so loading a page contacts no one else.
- Retention: we keep no tool inputs or outputs. Netlify keeps its own platform logs under its policy.

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.
