# Encore

> Encore (encorehq.co) is a studio for gathering context — one space for founders, executive teams, and studios to figure out what the people they ask want before the work begins. You compose forms, moodboards, and comparisons into a flow, send the people you ask a single link, and every choice comes back to you whole.

It replaces the kickoff form and the "what's your vibe?" call: instead of asking people to describe taste in adjectives, an Encore session shows real imagery and records real reactions — answers in many formats, 1–10 ratings with written reasons, and side-by-side direction decisions.

## How it works

- The studio composes a flow from three instruments — Form (one question at a time or all on one page, in many formats: keep or pass, a pick, a scale, a line in their own words), Moodboard (rated tile by tile, with reasons), and Comparison (two directions, one decision) — with a welcome at the start and an ending in the studio's own words.
- One private link goes to the people the studio asks. No password and no install: they can verify their email and pick up on any device. They never pay.
- Every choice lands in the studio as it happens, and the studio gets an email when someone finishes. Encore hands the answers back exactly as given; it doesn't write a brief or a summary of them.

## Pages

The new encorehq.co site is on its way. Until it's live, the home page is a single coming-soon page with an email sign-up.

## Facts

- Pricing: $20/month or $200/year (two months free annually). One tier; every feature included. 14-day free trial on every plan.
- People who answer never pay, never create a password, and never install anything.
- Delivered links keep working even if the studio's subscription lapses.
- New studio accounts open when the new site is live. Leave your email at https://encorehq.co/ to hear when it is.
- Encore also ships an MCP connector, so AI agents can work with a studio's projects, flows, and sessions, see each flow as the studio's project page shows it, and ask what has come back since they last looked.

## MCP connector

The connector lets a connected agent gather context: create projects, forms, moodboards, comparisons, and flows with their welcome and ending; run links and sessions; read every answer back whole; ask what came back since a moment (list_activity); manage the library; and visually verify work.

- Canonical MCP resource: https://mcp.encorehq.co/mcp
- Connector documentation: https://mcp.encorehq.co/llms.txt
- Machine changelog: https://mcp.encorehq.co/.well-known/mcp-changelog.json
- Authentication: OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow with PKCE S256. Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) are supported, and Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) remains available for compatibility.
- The connector advertises a curated core and keeps every other tool reachable at runtime through list_encore_tools and run_encore_tool. A valid explicit comma-separated toolset selection (path form /mcp/ts/<names>, or the legacy ?toolsets= query) replaces that core with discovery plus exactly the selected domain toolsets. Empty or omitted selections use core; unknown names are refused. Use search_docs and list_toolsets for grounded discovery.
