Builders in Fintech MCP Server

Counts for a slice of the funding database: rounds, countries, totals per announced currency, undisclosed rounds and rounds per category. Note: rounds, per_currency and undisclosed count equity rounds only, while by_category covers every category (equity, debt, fund, grant, ipo), so the category split can sum higher than the round count.

The weekly Builders Fintech Funding Index of approved equity rounds (ISO weeks). Arguments: week (optional, 'YYYY-Www', e.g. '2026-W39') returns that week; otherwise the latest weeks, newest first. weeks (optional, 1–104, default 1) sets how many. Count Index = rounds this week / average of the prior 12 weeks × 100. USD median index uses disclosed USD rounds only (needs 5). Amounts are never converted. Published values are frozen; revised_* shows later corrections. coverage_affected is true when a coverage change falls in the week or its 12-week baseline; coverage_note then explains how the index overstates activity. Unknown arguments are rejected.

Approved funding rounds, newest first, with optional filters and keyset pagination. Pass the returned next_cursor fields (after_date, after_id) to get the next page.
