@shashwatgtmalpha/craft-content-mcp v2.2.23
CRAFT Content Framework MCP Server: a complete redesign with user-centric inputs, actual content analysis, and a structured draft with placeholders for each output.
Use it hosted (no install)
Add https://craft-content.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-content.gtmhelix.com/, and the setup steps are at https://craft-content.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.
Design Philosophy
Every tool was redesigned using chain of thought from the user's perspective:
- What does the user actually want? (Not what looks impressive in a demo)
- What do they already know? (Keep inputs simple: don't ask for things they need to figure out)
- Does the output save them work? (A structured draft with placeholders, not a blank template)
What's New in v2.0.0
| Tool | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| thought_leadership_series | 200-300 word posts with [Expand] placeholders |
Byline article drafts of about 600 to 800 words, with placeholders to complete before publishing |
| craft_content_improver | Blank scorecard output | Actually analyzes content, scores dimensions, generates improved version |
| case_study_generator | Requires full story | Discovery mode: generates interview questions if you don't have the story |
| sales_enablement_content | Generic pitches | Objection-mapped handlers with your proof points |
| newsletter_builder | Good | Enhanced with A/B subject lines, 4 hooks, segment targeting |
| webinar_script | Good | Type-specific structures (demo vs educational vs panel) |
| content_repurposer | Excellent | Kept: transforms to 10 formats |
| testimonial_capture | Excellent | Kept: request emails, interview guides |
Installation

Tools and inputs
Generated on 27 September 2026 from the server's own tool list and checked again on 18 October 2026 against tools/list of craft-content-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.

Input Design Principles
- Only ask for what users actually know: don't require "value propositions" if they're calling because they haven't articulated them yet
- Make required inputs minimal: 3 to 4 required, the rest optional with smart defaults
- Use natural language: "your_take" not "contrarian_perspective_thesis"
- Derive what you can: if the user gives a topic, auto-generate related elements
Output Design Principles
- A structured draft with placeholders: each tool returns a structured draft to edit, with placeholders where your inputs gave no fact
- Right length for the format: bylines 600 to 800 words, social posts 200 to 300 words
- Include metadata: word counts, posting times, headlines
- Add promotional content: social snippets to promote longer content

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-content.gtmhelix.com/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses). Authentication: none.
- Setup guide: https://craft-content.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-content https://craft-content.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-content.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.
