fundzwatch-mcp
MCP server for FundzWatch.ai -- real-time business events, AI-scored leads, and market intelligence in Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Documentation
FundzWatch MCP Server
Listed on
The key-less AI-agent gateway to **FundzWatch** answer sections — real-time business-event intelligence via the Model Context Protocol.
Give Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP client live access to verified funding rounds, executive moves, UCC refinancing windows, Form 5500 benefit-plan signals, and AI-scored leads matched to your ICP.
7 of the 14 tools work with no API key, no signup, and no account — point your agent at the server and it returns live, daily-rescored "answer section" data on the first run, each row carrying the Fundz page that supports it. The other 7 (AI-scored leads, watchlists, full event feeds) need a Fundz Pro or Strategic seat.
Hosted assistants (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, Grok) — no install
This package is stdio: your client spawns it as a local subprocess, which hosted assistants
cannot do. For those, point the client at the remote endpoint instead — no key, no signup,
no account:
https://mcp.fundz.netAdd it as a custom connector / MCP server URL. It speaks Streamable HTTP (protocol `2025-06-18`,
negotiating back to `2024-11-05`) and serves the same seven key-less tools.
Quick Start
Option A — `npx` (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline)
No install needed. Add this to your client's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fundzwatch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@fundzwatch/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"FUNDZWATCH_API_KEY": "fundz_test_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Config file locations for Claude Desktop:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- Linux: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
> The `env` block is optional. Omit it entirely and the 7 key-less tools still return live data. The keyed tools (AI-scored leads, watchlists, full event feeds) require a Fundz Pro or Strategic seat — see **fundz.net/pricing**.
For Cursor / Windsurf / Cline, use the same block under their MCP settings (the inner `"fundzwatch": { ... }` object).
Option B — Smithery (hosted, one-click)
FundzWatch is live on Smithery: **smithery.ai/servers/fundzwatch/fundzwatch-mcp**
npx -y @smithery/cli install @fundzwatch/mcp-server --client claudeThen just ask
- "Which companies raised in the last year and are hiring right now?" *(no key)*
- "Show me UCC liens lapsing in the next 12 months in California." *(no key)*
- "Find recently funded companies with a Form 5500 plan and a named carrier." *(no key)*
- "Get my AI-scored leads with buyer-intent above 70." *(key)*
- "Track stripe.com and github.com and alert me on new events." *(key)*

What is FundzWatch?
FundzWatch.ai is the AI-agent front door to Fundz's verified business-event intelligence — funding rounds, acquisitions, executive moves, government contracts, hiring signals, UCC liens, and DOL Form 5500 benefit-plan filings, fused into cross-dataset "answer sections" that no single-source lookup reproduces. Everything is re-scored daily.
- Key-less answer sections — point an agent at the server and get live data on day one, no signup.
- AI-scored leads — companies scored against your ICP with buyer-intent and outreach guidance (Pro or Strategic seat).
- Cross-dataset cohorts — funded-and-hiring, money-in-motion, refinancing windows, benefit-plans-in-play.
- Who-finances-whom — lender (8,600+) and broker (65,000+) directories from UCC and Form 5500.
The 7 key-less tools need nothing at all. Keyed tools require a Pro or Strategic seat: **fundz.net/pricing**.
The full scored feeds, ICP filters, contact data, and daily alerts live in the Fundz app — **app.fundz.net**, Strategic plan ($149/mo).
Built by Fundz — millions of business events analyzed since 2017.
