Legends MCP

Chat with legendary founders & investors in Claude Code. No API key required!

Ever wanted to ask Elon Musk about first principles? Get Warren Buffett's take on your investment thesis? Have Steve Jobs roast your product design?

Now you can. Kinda.

Quick Start

Claude Code config (~/.claude/config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "legends": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["legends-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. No API key needed. Restart Claude Code and start chatting.

Usage

Once configured, use these tools in Claude Code:

List all legends

Use list_legends to see who's available

Summon a legend

Use summon_legend with legend_id="elon-musk" to channel Elon

Claude will adopt the legend's persona and respond in character!

Get deep context

Use get_legend_context to see their frameworks, principles, and examples

Get quick insight

Use get_legend_insight with legend_id="warren-buffett" for a quick wisdom snippet

How It Works

Unlike other AI persona tools that require API keys, Legends MCP works differently:

1. You call summon_legend with a legend ID
2. MCP returns the persona context (identity, voice, principles, frameworks)
3. Claude adopts the persona and responds in character

No external API calls. No API keys. Just Claude + persona data = magic.
