Common questions

Is Outbound Engine MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

Outbound Engine MCP

The cold-outreach method layer for AI agents. One engine, any target: brand deals, UGC, newsletter sponsorships, jobs, podcasts.

Built from the method behind The Outbound Engine.

Disclaimer. Outputs are structured outreach-method frameworks based on documented practice. Results vary by niche, proof quality, and consistency. Not legal advice. Follow platform rules and outreach law for your channel and region.


Why This Exists

Every AI agent that drafts cold outreach today has the same failure mode: it writes long, polite, generic pitches that ask a stranger for the biggest possible thing on the first touch. Those messages don't get replies, and outreach that doesn't get replies doesn't get deals.

This MCP encodes one rule and enforces it with tools:

A cold pitch is not trying to close a deal. It is trying to get a reply. The deal closes in the follow-up.

It does NOT send messages and does NOT scrape prospects. It is the method layer: give it a draft, a target type, or a reply — get back structure, violations, and the next move.

7 Tools

ToolWhat it returns
structure_cold_pitchHOOK / BRIDGE / SOFT ASK structure + the 4 swap variables (who to pitch, signal to research, proof to lead with, soft-ask object) per target type
audit_cold_messagePASS/FAIL audit of a draft: money in a cold message, identity-first opener, generic hook, hard ask, length over ~90 words, multiple asks — with a rewrite recipe
build_followup_ladderThe 5-step ladder (Day 3 / 7 / 12 / 18 / 25) — where 80% of deals actually close. The Day 25 break-up alone pulls ~30% of replies
handle_replyThe next move for any reply type: price question, interested, not now, no budget, exposure offer, spec request, pay-on-performance, ghosted
build_pricing_menuThe 3-option menu (Starter / Most Popular / Full) + the two scoping questions to ask first. Drop scope, never price
detect_red_flagsScans a reply or brief for walk-away signals: exposure-pay, spec work, pay-on-performance, budget mismatch, scope creep
get_full_packThe complete engine as one payload — drop it into a Claude Project system prompt

Sample Use

// Agent drafted a cold DM for a brand deal. Before sending:

mcp.call("audit_cold_message", { message: "Hi, I'm a UGC creator with 50k followers! I love your brand. My rate is $500/video...", target_type: "brand_deal" }); // Returns: FAIL — no_money_in_cold_message, no_identity_first_opener, // specific_hook_required + a 3-move rewrite recipe.

// Prospect replied asking "what do you charge?" mcp.call("handle_reply", { reply_type: "price_question" }); // Returns: don't send one number — two scoping questions first, then the 3-option menu.

Target Types

brand_deal · ugc · newsletter_sponsorship · job · podcast · client_work

Same engine, four swapped variables per target. That's the whole trick.

The Full System

This MCP is the free method layer. The full Outbound Engine product adds per-target research packs, an onboarding intake that builds your proof inventory, and the daily operating system — at elisabethhitz.com.
