FundingScout MCP

Connect FundingScout to Claude Code (or any MCP-compatible client) and let Claude pull funding rounds and CEO contact data during outbound automation.

Building a server-to-server REST integration instead? See the REST API docs → (accounts/contacts sync, webhook delivery, match notifications).

Quick start

  1. 1

    Subscribe to FundingScout Pro

    API access is bundled into the Pro plan ($89/mo). Upgrade here.

  2. 2

    Create an API key

    In Settings → API Keys, click Create new key. The full key is shown once — copy it immediately.

  3. 3

    Add it to Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http fundingscout https://fundingscout.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer fs_live_..."
  4. 4

    Use it

    Just talk to Claude. Try: “Find 20 recent Series A B2B SaaS rounds in the US, reveal each CEO's contact info, and draft a personalized cold email for each.”

Tools

Claude will auto-discover these. You don't need to call them by name — just describe what you want.

list_funding_rounds1,000 / day

List recent funding rounds, filtered by funding type, country, industry tags, amount range, and date range. Returns paginated results with an opaque cursor.

funding_type[]string[]e.g. ["seed", "series-a"]
country[]string[]ISO codes, e.g. ["US", "CA"]
industry[]string[]Tags, e.g. ["AI/ML", "FinTech"]
min_amount, max_amountintegerUSD

has_ceo_contactbooleantrue = only rounds with email known
limitinteger1..100, default 25
cursorstringOpaque, from previous response
get_funding_round1,000 / day

Fetch a single round by UUID. Does NOT include CEO contact.

idUUIDRound ID
search_companies1,000 / day

Fuzzy substring match on company name. Returns recent rounds for matches.

querystring≥2 characters
limitinteger1..50, default 10
reveal_contact200 / day

Reveal the CEO's name, email, and LinkedIn URL for a funding round. Every call is logged for audit. Lower quota than browse tools because CEO contact is the most sensitive data we expose.

funding_round_idUUIDRound ID
whoami1,000 / day

Returns your plan, key prefix, and remaining quota for every tool today. Useful for Claude to check before bulk operations.

Quotas

Each tool has a daily quota that resets at 00:00 UTC. When you exceed a quota, the tool returns {"error":"over_quota","tool":"...","retry_after_seconds":N}. Claude will receive this and stop calling that tool until the next day.

If your team needs higher limits, email info@fundingscout.io.

REST API

Every MCP tool has a REST equivalent under https://fundingscout.io/api/v1/. Use the same Authorization: Bearer fs_live_... header.

GET /api/v1/rounds
GET /api/v1/rounds/{id}
POST /api/v1/rounds/{id}/contact
GET /api/v1/companies/search?q=...
GET /api/v1/whoami

Acceptable use

  • Do not redistribute or resell CEO contact data. Each reveal is for your own outreach, not a derived dataset for sale.
  • Respect opt-outs. If a CEO asks to be removed, email us and we'll suppress them from your future reveals.
  • No spam. Use the data for personalized, relevant outreach. Volume spam damages your sender reputation and ours.

See the full Privacy Policy for details on how we handle data.
