teahose-mcp

Live AI-company intelligence for Claude — funding signals, lookalike search, podcast/newsletter buzz, and emerging market themes, all drawn from the Teahose intel graph. No API key required to start; a free key unlocks higher rate limits and daily-email alerts.

claude mcp add teahose -- npx -y teahose-mcp

Or install as a Claude Code plugin (this repo doubles as a plugin marketplace):

/plugin marketplace add altmbr/teahose-mcp
/plugin install teahose@teahose-mcp

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | find_companies | Vector search over the Teahose AI-company graph — pass a competitor URL or a plain-text description to find similar companies with similarity scores. | | who_is_talking_about | What operators, VCs, and newsletters are saying about a company — mention signals from podcasts and newsletters, with source and episode. | | latest_funding | Fresh funding rounds across the AI landscape — amount, round, investors, dated and sourced. Optionally filter by theme slug. | | check_companies | Batch-check a list of company names (portfolio, CRM, watchlist) to see which had signals in the last 7 or 30 days. | | emerging_themes | Machine-discovered AI market themes ranked emerging-first with 7-day signal volume. | | get_company | Profile of an AI company: what it does, sector, themes, and recent funding/product/hiring/mention signals. | | watch_company | Subscribe to daily email alerts whenever a company has new signals. Requires a free API key. |

Security & Privacy

This server is a thin, read-only HTTP client. A security review should find:

• Network access: The only endpoint contacted is https://www.teahose.com/api/mcp/v1/*. No other outbound requests are made.
• No filesystem or shell access: The server does not read, write, or execute anything on the local filesystem.
• No exec / child processes: No child_process, eval, or dynamic code execution of any kind.
• No telemetry: The server emits no analytics, crash reports, or tracking beyond the API calls themselves. The API calls are subject to Teahose's privacy policy.
• Credential scope: The only credential is the optional TEAHOSE_API_KEY environment variable. It is sent solely to teahose.com in an x-teahose-key request header.
• Dependencies: Exactly two runtime dependencies — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod. No native addons.
• No postinstall scripts: package.json has no install, postinstall, or prepare hooks.
• All tools are read-only except watch_company (which writes a watch subscription on teahose.com) and requires a valid API key.

Free Tier vs. Free Key

A free Teahose API key is available at https://www.teahose.com/mcp. Getting a key also subscribes you to the Teahose daily-digest email (unsubscribe any time).

| Limit | Keyless | Free key | |-------|---------|----------| | Requests / minute | 10 | 30 | | Requests / day | 50 | 1,000 | | Company signals returned | 5 | 25 | | Buzz mentions returned | 5 | 25 | | Funding rows returned | 15 (max 14-day window) | 50 (max 30-day window) | | check_companies names | 10 | 50 | | find_companies matches | 3 | 15 |

Configuration

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | TEAHOSE_API_KEY | No | Free key from https://www.teahose.com/mcp. Unlocks higher limits and watch_company. | | TEAHOSE_API_URL | No | Override the API base URL (useful for local testing against a dev server). |

Setting your key in Claude Code

Add an env block to your MCP server entry in .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "teahose": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "teahose-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TEAHOSE_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }

Or set TEAHOSE_API_KEY in your shell environment before starting Claude Code.
