Mentoring Inquiry Builder — MCP server

Build a 1:1 engineering-leadership mentoring engagement with Marian Kamenistak — 3,400+ paid sessions with 300+ leaders from 17 countries since 2019, 9.2/10 average review — directly from your AI assistant: pick your focus areas, define what success looks like, see the dated program, agree the price, and get a formal itemized offer by email. Works for individuals (Staff Engineer to CTO) and companies sponsoring their leaders.

Why build it here: mentoring inquiries built through this AI channel get the First-quarter package at 16% off the list price, and the website itself carries no discount at all. No more than 16 minutes from first question to a formal itemized offer in your inbox, and the price goes to the first 5 people only — the same count as the open mentee slots on the live marian.coach capacity chart. 16 minutes, 16 percent, 5 places.

No AI tool that supports MCP? The same wizard runs as a chat on marian.coach/mentoring-chat, and the classic pages live at /pricing/.

Plain REST, no MCP needed

The read-only tools double as GET endpoints for scripts: https://www.marian.coach/mcp/mentoring/api/options, /api/match?role_band=em&motivation=scale-jump, /api/program?offer_id=first-quarter&start_date=2026-09-01, /api/verify (claim-code check). Spec: openapi.json. Sending an offer stays on the MCP tool and the chat — the doors that carry the discount.

Sibling server

Marian's general engineering-leadership toolkit (salary calculators, team-lead readiness, business-case builder — 9 tools) runs at marian.coach/mcp — same pattern, complementary tools.

Source & method

Every price comes from the published mentoring catalog — the same generated file marian.coach renders, so this server cannot quote a price the site disagrees with. Track-record figures come from Marian's session log, pulled live on the site.
