How to Use the GitDealFlow MCP Server for VC Research

The GitDealFlow MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants query deal flow data directly. Instead of copy-pasting data into a chatbot, you ask the AI to fetch and analyze deals.

Install: run `npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal` in Claude Desktop or Cursor. The server exposes six tools: get_trending_startups, search_startups_by_sector, get_startup_signal, get_signals_summary, get_scout_receipts, and get_methodology.

Workflow example: 'Find trending AI infrastructure startups with rising momentum, then draft outreach emails to the top 3.' Claude queries GitDealFlow, ranks by momentum, and drafts personalized notes referencing each startup's engineering traction.

For scouts, the get_scout_receipts tool computes a Scout Score (0-100) for any GitHub username based on their starring history vs. ~75 validated unicorns. High Scout Scores predict which developers will found valuable companies.
