VC Deal Flow Signal — MCP Server

Search startup engineering acceleration signals directly from your AI assistant.

One-click install for Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / Continue via Smithery — verified, 98/100 quality score.

Claude querying VC Deal Flow Signal MCP server

Tracks commit velocity, contributor growth, and repository expansion across 20 sectors. Built for angels, scouts, and technical operators looking for traction signals before they show up in traditional deal flow.

Install

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vc-deal-flow-signal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
    }
  }
}

Or for Claude Code (.mcp.json in project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vc-deal-flow-signal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

All tools are read-only, idempotent, and fetch live data from the public API (no auth required). Responses include both human-readable text and structured JSON (structuredContent) matching each tool's outputSchema.

Tool	Input	Returns
`get_trending_startups`	—	Top 20 startups ranked by engineering acceleration across all sectors.
`search_startups_by_sector`	`sector` (enum of 20 slugs)	All tracked startups in the sector, ranked by acceleration.
`get_startup_signal`	`name` (case-insensitive)	Full signal profile for one startup: velocity, contributors, repos, classification.
`get_signals_summary`	—	Dataset snapshot — period, counts, refresh date, format URLs, citation.
`get_methodology`	—	How signals are sourced, computed, and classified, with known limitations.
`predict_funding`	`name`	Transparent, scored funding-likelihood claim for one startup — score, full evidence chain, confidence, caveats, and methodology + SSRN provenance so the number is citable, not opaque.
`compare_signals`	`names` (2–5)	Head-to-head scored comparison of named startups, ranked, with a diligence recommendation.
`shortlist_signals`	`sector?`, `geography?`, `signalType?`, `minAccelerationScore?`, `minVelocityChangePct?`, `limit?`	The whole sourcing workflow in one call — "5 strongest signals in fintech in the EU", ranked by acceleration score with a rationale each.
`get_diligence_dossier`	`name`	Public-source diligence dossier for one company in a cited object — M&A history (acquirer, year, amount), funds that publicly backed it, and the published engineering-acceleration signal.
`get_scout_receipts`	`github_username`	Scout Score (0–100) for a GitHub user from their public starring history vs. validated unicorns.

Provenance, not opaque numbers. predict_funding, shortlist_signals, and compare_signals use one transparent, deterministic scoring engine (velocity ≤40 + contributor-growth ≤25 + new-repos ≤15 + signal-class ≤20 = 0–100). Every input and weight is returned in the response so a downstream agent can audit and cite the score. Geography is region-level only (US/EU/UK/APAC/LATAM/Canada); city/country aliases normalize up to the region. These are heuristics over public GitHub activity — not investment advice and not a guarantee of any financing event.

Three paid agent tools (research_company, compose_thesis, deep_dive_scan) add enriched dossiers, thesis scaffolds, and multi-cohort sector scans for API-key holders — see /pricing.

Supported sectors: ai-ml, fintech, cybersecurity, developer-tools, healthcare, climate-tech, enterprise-saas, data-infrastructure, web3, robotics, edtech, ecommerce-infrastructure, supply-chain, legal-tech, hr-tech, proptech, agtech, gaming, space-tech, social-community.

Data

All data is sourced live from signals.gitdealflow.com public API. No API key required. Updated weekly on Mondays.

Complementary: the Scout Game

If you want to put your own eye on the line, there's a prediction game on top of the same dataset at signals.gitdealflow.com/predict. Call which tracked startups raise a round in the next 6 months, earn points when your calls resolve, climb a public rank ladder from Curious to Oracle. Free tier: 3 predictions per month. Paid: 10 per month. Leaderboard: signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard.
