A 6-week MBB engagement, compressed to 45 minutes. 23 specialised agents run in parallel inside your AI client of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, anything that speaks MCP. 5-lens framework. 10 hypotheses tested. Every number source-cited — verdict ready before your next meeting.

Claude ChatGPT Cursor Codex VS Code Copilot Gemini Code Assist Cline Windsurf + any MCP client

You decide on vibes because the alternatives are worse: → MBB firm: $50K–$300K, 6 weeks, lands after the deadline. → A bare LLM prompt: confident slop, zero hypotheses, zero citations. → A consultant friend: one opinion, no portfolio view, no defence at the board.

This isn't another LLM wrapper.

This is consulting — codified.

Use this when you're:

→ closing an investment round → entering a new market → validating an M&A target → pivoting your career

// the problem

Strategy is broken at the founder layer

Tier-1 consulting is unreachable. Generic AI is unrigorous. You decide on vibes.

Tier-1 firms are unaffordable

$50,000+ per engagement, 6+ weeks of slide decks. Out of reach for founders, mid-cap operators, and ambitious individuals.

Generic AI gives you slop

One-shot prompts produce one-shot answers. No methodology, no hypotheses, no source verification, no structured analysis.

Document generators ≠ engagements

Existing AI strategy tools spit out PDFs. You don't get a thinking process, a market map, or a portfolio matrix you can defend.

Connect

Add the MCP server to your AI client of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, anything that speaks MCP. OAuth or bearer token. Zero config.

Brief

One sentence. Company name, deal target, or your background. The agents ask follow-ups when needed.

Engagement runs

23 specialised agents, 5-lens framework, 10 testable hypotheses, source-verified data points.

Receive artefacts

Markdown reports, Growth-Share matrix, GTM playbook, validation report — all delivered to a run folder.

An engagement runs entirely inside your AI client

No dashboards to open. No PDFs to email. Just a tool call and a folder of artefacts — in whichever client you already use.

// the difference

Generic AI vs a real engagement

Same prompt: "Should we expand to enterprise?" One answer is opinion. The other is a defensible decision.

− generic AI one-shot answer

## Should we expand to enterprise? Enterprise can offer higher contract values and lower churn. Consider building a sales team and longer implementation cycles. Many SaaS companies have succeeded here. Hope this helps!

opinion No data. No competitor analysis. No hypotheses. Generic platitude — would fail any board review.

+ strategy suite final-report.md · verdict section

## Verdict: Conditional Go Enterprise expansion: GO — if 2 conditions met by Q3. - H-D1: TAM = $4.1B (Gartner '25) ✅ - H-A2: Channel partner ready ⚠️ - H-S1: CAC payback <18mo ❌ Defer if H-S1 fails by 2026-Q3.

For Codex / OpenAI API access, use the Manual / Other tab with a bearer token.

AuthenticateFirst tool call triggers OAuth in your browser. Token stored in ~/.claude/auth/.

Try a slash command

Status check anytime: /list_runs or /get_run_status <run_id>

Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP serverOr edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly

Paste this config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strategy-suite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor → OAuth opens on first callTools become available in agent mode and chat.

VS Code → Command Palette → “MCP: Add Server”Requires GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled

Choose “HTTP”, paste URL

https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp

Approve OAuth flowTools appear in the Copilot Chat tool picker. Use @mcp:strategy-suite to scope a chat.

Cline panel → MCP Servers → Marketplace tab

Search “Strategy Suite” or add manually

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strategy-suite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "alwaysAllow": []
    }
  }
}

Save → OAuth on first invocation

Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers

Add server config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strategy-suite": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Refresh → OAuth opens in default browser

Option A — OAuth (recommended for human users)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strategy-suite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

First request triggers browser OAuth. Token cached locally by your client.

Option B — Bearer token (headless / CI / agent-to-agent)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strategy-suite": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xataco.com/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Generate keys in your account dashboard. Use Bearer mode for headless automation; OAuth for desktop clients.

Verify the connection

curl https://mcp.xataco.com/health

Returns {"status":"healthy","version":"1.0.0"} when the server is up.

Available tools

run_career_dna(name, bio, years_experience) run_personal_strategy(name, bio, years_experience) run_bcg_team(company, focus?) run_due_diligence(target, thesis?) get_run_status(run_id) list_runs(limit?)

Quick notes for other clients Codex CLI / OpenAI Responses API: register the server as a remote MCP tool with the URL above and a bearer token. The tools are auto-discovered through the MCP protocol. Gemini Code Assist: add to ~/.gemini/settings.json under mcpServers using the same JSON shape as Cursor. Goose / Continue / Cody / any other MCP client: the bearer-token JSON above works wherever the client supports HTTP MCP servers. If your client only supports stdio, run a thin local proxy — see docs.

Troubleshooting: OAuth fails → check that your client has popup blockers off and supports OAuth 2.1 + PKCE Connection times out → first cold-start can take ~5s; retry the tool call Tool not visible → restart your client after adding the server config
