This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FUNDZWATCH_API_KEY (FundzWatch API key (optional — 7 of 14 tools work with no key and no signup). Keyed tools require a Fundz Pro or Strategic seat: https://www.fundz.net/pricing). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

benefit

get_benefit_plans_in_play

Recently funded companies (≤24 months) with a DOL Form 5500 benefit-plan filing on record: plan renewal timing, participant count vs current headcount ('outgrowing their plan'), and the incumbent insurance carrier from Schedule A. For benefits brokers, retirement-plan advisors, PEOs, HR-tech sellers. No API key required.

broker

get_broker_directory

Who broker-of-records whom: directory of 58,000+ benefits brokers from DOL Form 5500 Schedule A Part 1, ranked by filings carried, with sponsor counts and commission volume per broker. For carriers, broker M&A, benefits-tech sellers, and brokers scouting competitors. No API key required.

funded

get_funded_and_hiring

Companies with a verified funding round in the last 12 months AND live hiring evidence (open ATS roles, executive hires, hiring signals) — the strongest buying window, score-ranked and refreshed daily. No API key required.

lender

get_lender_directory

Who finances whom: directory of 11,800+ UCC secured parties (lenders) ranked by filing volume, with active-lien counts and lapsing-soon exposure per lender. California + Colorado coverage (CO refreshed daily). No API key required.

money

get_money_in_motion

Companies with an executive-move announcement in the last 180 days AND a verified funding round in the last 24 months — the wealth advisor's 'money in motion' moment: a new comp package (often equity), an old 401(k) to roll over, benefits about to be re-evaluated. Score-ranked, refreshed daily. For RIAs, wealth managers, retirement-plan advisors, executive-benefits sellers. No API key required.

refinancing

get_refinancing_windows

Companies whose active UCC-1 liens lapse within 12 months (Renewal Radar). UCC liens expire after 5 years — the incumbent lender must re-file or lose priority, so each approaching lapse is a refinancing window with a date on it. For lenders, MCA/ISO, and equipment finance. California + Colorado coverage (CO refreshed daily). No API key required.

stacked

get_stacked_borrowers

Companies with active secured debt (UCC-1) from 2+ distinct lenders and a filing in the last 24 months — proven appetite for layered financing; second-position and refi/consolidation targets. California + Colorado coverage (CO refreshed daily). No API key required.

Fundz — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fundz do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_benefit_plans_in_play, get_broker_directory, get_funded_and_hiring, get_lender_directory, get_money_in_motion, get_refinancing_windows and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Fundz working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 472 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Fundz?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Fundz need an API key?

No. Fundz completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Fundz?

It answers our handshake in 472 ms on average, which is faster than 31% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Fundz?

The npm package @fundzwatch/mcp-server was installed 1 176 times in the last week. Week over week that is +485%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Fundz open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 3 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
