MCP server

Give your agent the funding database

60,745 funded companies and 83,046 funding rounds covering rounds from 2020-02-02 to 2026-08-21, refreshed weekly. Connect once and your agent can search it, read what each record holds, and pull founder contacts on the ones worth pursuing, without you writing a client.

Endpoint https://fundediq.co/api/mcp Transport Streamable HTTP, stateless Auth Bearer token, no OAuth

1. Get a key

Create one in your account, then paste it in place of fiq_sk_YOUR_KEY below. Keep it out of a shared repo: it spends your credits.

2. Add the server

Pick your client. Every snippet is complete, with nothing else to configure.

3. Ask for something

The server tells the model how it is metered and how to use it well, so you can ask in plain language and it will read the filter vocabulary, search once, and unlock only what it needs.

Prompt

Find US logistics startups that raised a Series A since 1 August
with a founder contact on file, then unlock the ten largest
and draft a one-line opener for each.

The four tools

Tool	Cost	What it returns
search_funded_startups	1 credit per call	Filter by keyword, industry, location, round type, amount raised, funding date, employee band and founded year. Returns up to 100 company profiles with the latest round and counts of how many investors and founder contacts each one has.
unlock_companies	1 credit per company	Investor names, every funding round with its announcement URL, founders and executives with emails and LinkedIn, company LinkedIn, monthly traffic, open roles and IT spend, for up to 100 companies at once. Free for a company already unlocked this period.
list_filter_values	Free	Every value the filters accept, with company counts. Filters match exact strings, so the agent reads the vocabulary instead of guessing at it.
get_account	Free	Plan, remaining credits, when the period resets, and what each call costs. Lets an agent size a batch before running it.

The tools call the same code as the REST API, with the same parameter names and the same meter.

Questions

Do I have to install anything?

No. The server is hosted at fundediq.co and speaks Streamable HTTP, so a client that supports remote MCP just needs the URL and your key. Claude Desktop is the one exception: it bridges remote servers through mcp-remote, and the config above does that for you.

Is there an OAuth flow?

No. Authentication is a static bearer token, the same API key the REST API uses, which is one moving part instead of four and works in every client listed here. Revoke a key and it stops working on the next request.

Does the agent see my whole database subscription?

It sees exactly what your plan allows and spends the same credits the web app does. There is one balance: 2,000 a month on Pro, shared across the app, exports, the API and these tools. A company your agent unlocks is unlocked in the app too, and vice versa.

What stops an agent burning all my credits?

Three things. A search costs 1 credit no matter how many rows it returns, so paging is cheap rather than ruinous; the server's own instructions tell the model to read counts before unlocking and to batch its unlocks; and there is a hard limit of 60 requests per minute per key. get_account is free, so an agent can check the balance before committing to a batch.

Which plan do I need?

Pro, at $99 a month, with a 14-day trial. The tools work during the trial, capped by the trial's smaller credit allowance.
