Documentation
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
envblock 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.
