Model Context Protocol (MCP) server wrapper for startup-funding-intel. Gives AI agents direct, pay-per-call access to fresh SEC Form D funding rounds, company funding history, and investor portfolios - no API token required when called over x402 / Skyfire.
What it is
A thin MCP server that exposes the funding-intel engine as four typed tools an AI agent can call. Each tool runs the upstream startup-funding-intel actor (which rebuilds Crunchbase-grade funding data from PRIMARY public sources - SEC Form D filings via EDGAR plus press corroboration) and reshapes the result into small, deterministic JSON (no raw Form D XML, no megabyte press blobs). Built for deal-sourcing copilots, VC research agents, and B2B-sales bots that treat a fresh raise as a budget signal.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_recent_rounds | Fresh Form D funding rounds in a lookback window (default 14 days), filterable by industry group, issuer state, and minimum offering amount. |
get_company_funding | A named company's full Form D history plus a per-issuer rollup (total disclosed raised, round count, first/last filing dates, latest-round summary). |
get_investor_portfolio | An investor/person's Form D portfolio graph: companies backed, co-investors seen on the same filings, total disclosed, date range. |
find_fresh_raises | Screen 1-25 companies, return only those that filed a Form D within the lookback window (newest first) with a summary naming who raised. The fresh-raise = budget sales-trigger tool. |
Every tool returns the same envelope: { tool, args, ok, count, items, summary, error }. Agents key off summary for natural-language framing and items for structured downstream use.
Run modes
list_tools- emit the tool catalog (free, no charge) including the agentic-payment descriptor.call_tool- invoke one tool. Requirestool+args.batch- invoke up to 10{tool, args}calls in one run.
Contact email is required (SEC fair-access)
The SEC fair-access policy requires every automated EDGAR request to identify itself with a real contact email in the User-Agent, or the IP gets banned. Every tool here therefore requires a contact_email. Supply it once at the top level via user_agent_contact, or per call inside args.contact_email (the per-call value wins). The wrapper validates that it looks like an email and threads it into the upstream actor's user_agent_contact. Use your real contact - a fake or example.com identity routes the upstream actor to demo mode.
Honest framing: Form D filing lag
Form D is the SEC notice for a Regulation D exempt offering. It usually files days to weeks after a round is announced in the press, and the filing_date is the SEC notice date, not necessarily the close date. When present, date_of_first_sale is closer to the economic event. Every record carries a data_lag_note saying so. A company can also raise without ever filing a Form D, so absence of a filing is not proof a company did not raise.
Agentic payments (x402 + Skyfire)
This server is x402 (USDC on Base) and Skyfire ready. When the operator enables Apify MCP monetization, an AI agent can pay per tool call with no pre-provisioned API token. The list_tools response includes a payments descriptor advertising the accepted rails and per-call price. Operators enable rails via environment variables:
| Env | Purpose |
|---|---|
X402_ENABLED | 1 to advertise x402 acceptance |
X402_PAY_TO_ADDRESS | receiving wallet (USDC on Base) |
X402_PRICE_USD | per-call price advertised (default 0.005) |
SKYFIRE_ENABLED | 1 to advertise Skyfire acceptance |
SKYFIRE_SELLER_ID | Skyfire seller identity |
Calls through Apify always bill via standard PPE (mcp_tool_call $0.005 + upstream pass-through); x402/Skyfire are the token-less rails layered on top for direct agents.
Pricing
Flat $0.005 per MCP tool call, plus the upstream startup-funding-intel PPE pass-through (company_record $0.006, funding_round_record $0.010, investor_graph_enrichment $0.012) billed to the same run. mode=list_tools is free.
Responsible use / data scope
The upstream actor reads only logged-out, public, government-source data: SEC Form D filings via EDGAR full-text search, the EDGAR archives, and press corroboration from public Google News RSS. No accounts, no cookies, no paywall bypass. PII is minimized - the data is company-level firmographics plus the issuer's disclosed control persons (a public-record field of the filing), not consumer data. Form D does not name LP/VC funds, so investor graphs reflect disclosed control persons, not fund investors. You are responsible for lawful use of the outputs.
