Connect me as MCP to your Claude/Codex
Want to talk through a project — but no time, awkward to bother, or it turns into paid consulting? Plug in the MCP: chat «with me» in your agent or wire it into your pipeline. Free first pass; if there's fit — next step is paid work: consulting, diagnostic, or a hire.
Why plug it in
A way to talk «with me» before you spend time on a call or budget on consulting. Free, at your pace, in your own agent.
-
Assess fit before an interview or contract
Map a role, JD, or your project to my cases, products, and scale — without «let's jump on an hour-long call».
-
Discuss your project with no obligation
When there's no time, it's awkward to bother, or you're afraid the talk turns into expensive consulting — test the angle in chat first.
-
Feel the communication style
Before live work, see how I ask questions, cite examples, and flag risks — that's part of fit too.
-
Wire into your pipeline
An outside view on a task wording, ticket, or architecture choice — when you need an expert angle, not a call on every step.
If you see fit after that — next step is paid work: consulting, diagnostic, or a hire.
How to use it
-
1
Pick a strong model in your client
Quality comes from your LLM, not the MCP server. Details and model recommendation — in Good to know below.
-
2
Connect the MCP in your agent
One snippet in
.mcp.json— see Connect. Works with Claude, Codex, and other MCP-capable clients. -
3
Ask in your own words
In chat — about fit, a case, approach. In a pipeline — pass task context and ask what I'd say in your shoes. You can ask the agent to run
screening-emorcase-walkthrough. -
4
Decide if you want the next step
MCP is a free getting-to-know contour. If it clicks — email grigoriydobryakov@gmail.com for a live conversation or a commercial format.
Connect
Console client — one command. Or a snippet in .mcp.json and restart the agent.
Console (Claude Code, Codex CLI)
claude mcp add --transport http dobryakov-expert https://mcp.dobryakov.net/mcp
.mcp.json file
"dobryakov-expert": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.dobryakov.net/mcp"
}
After connecting, ask your agent: "use dobryakov-expert and answer…"
Example situations
Not documentation templates — real reasons people show up.
Hiring a VP Engineering
"Is there fit for a PE-backed scale-up with an AI mandate? Which cases are relevant?"
Considering consulting
"How would Grigoriy approach AI transformation in enterprise with legacy? What's applicable from a large retailer with an event-driven landscape?"
Need a view on a task in flow
"What would Grigoriy say about this Jira ticket?"
Want the voice before a call
"Walk through the ML platform case — tens of millions of profiles — and explain how you'd reason about production at our stage."
What you can ask about
Answers draw on published materials — the same as on the website: products, cases, segments. No grey area, NDAs, or client internals; the agent pulls only the slice that fits your question.
Roles and products
Engineering Manager · AI Head of Engineering · AI Architect — when and why
Cases with numbers
Enterprise retail · ML platform · SaaS transition · integrator turnaround — context, actions, outcomes (as on the website)
Company types
AI-committed · Enterprise · Scale-up · Traditional — where my experience is closest
Engagement formats
Hire, fractional, AI Engineering Diagnostic — when each format fits
Good to know
Answer quality comes from your LLM, not the server
MCP serves context and tools from the public corpus. Connecting facts, asking follow-ups, and wording the conclusion is the job of the model in your client. My server doesn't think for you and won't fix a weak model.
Cheap or weak models are a waste of time: they'll truncate context, skip tools, and average out the answer — then you'll decide "MCP doesn't work." Recommendation: at least Claude Opus with High effort (or an equivalent reasoning tier in your client).
- This is a simulation from public materials, not a live conversation with me.
- Your data does not reach the server and is not logged.
- No secrets or unpublished content in the corpus — including client internals; only what's already public.
Next steps
MCP is a free first contour. If you see fit after it — next step is paid work: consulting, AI Engineering Diagnostic, or a hire.
- Hiring? grigoriydobryakov@gmail.com — I'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
- Need a review without a hire? AI Engineering Diagnostic — 5 working days, async-first; 90-day plan on output. Details on the home page.
