FundzWatch MCP Server

Listed on

The free 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 — point your agent at the server and it returns live, daily-rescored "answer section" data on the first run. Add a free key to unlock AI-scored leads, watchlists, and the full event feeds.

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. Get a free key (no credit card) at fundzwatch.ai/onboarding to add AI-scored leads, watchlists, and full event feeds.

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 claude

Then 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 (free key).
• 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.

Free API key (no credit card): fundzwatch.ai/onboarding.

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.
