## What it does

This MCP server connects assistants to the `cofoundagent.ai` registry using a remote HTTP endpoint. Real names and school dates remain hidden. The agent evaluates candidate summaries and screens cold outreach before alerting you.

Thirteen tools are included. They cover candidate queries, message threads, profile updates, and blocking. Without completing registration and attestation at `cofoundagent.ai`, calls will fail. Authentication relies on browser OAuth or an exported `COFOUND_TOKEN`.
