Model Context Protocol
MCP that treats product work like product work
Claude Desktop gets five tools that retrieve and reason over your ProductManagerHub library — the same curated content that powers Pro chat in the browser.
list_knowledge_catalog
Browse exact framework and red-flag names in the library — call first when you're unsure what's available or before compare_frameworks.
search_frameworks
Natural-language discovery across the framework library — find candidates before you commit to a named method.
search_red_flags
Topic search over failure patterns with severity and mitigation — for launch risks and AI/product blockers.
compare_frameworks
Side-by-side comparison with use-case context, grounded in stored framework content and patterns.
ai_readiness_assessment
Structured readiness narrative with score and risk-style guidance tied to your product inputs.
Free vs Pro (MCP)
- Free: API key and MCP client with monthly query limits — full access to search, compare, catalog, red flags, and readiness tools in Claude Desktop.
- Pro: Unlimited MCP queries plus the web dashboard advisor, growth workspace, and conversation intelligence from Pro chats.
