Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 12

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

compare
compare_signals
Score and rank 2-5 named startups side by side, returning each one's acceleration score, evidence, and raise-likelihood band plus a single recommendation for which warrants deeper diligence. Same transparent scoring as predict_funding / shortlist_signals. Names that don't resolve are returned in `notFound` (expected, not an error). The recommendation is computed only over resolved companies; if fewer than 2 resolve it explains that no comparison was possible. PARAMETERS: { names: string[] }, 2 to 5 display names or GitHub org slugs (case-insensitive).
deep
get_deep_signal
PAID per-request, €0.19/call, 100 credits = €19 at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/agents/credits. Returns enriched signal beyond the free get_startup_signal: composite score (0-100), velocity/growth/novelty sub-scores, in-sector rank + percentile, plain-English investment thesis, top-3 sector comparables, and multi-period history. Requires Authorization: Bearer gdf_v2.cus_xxx.<hmac>. 1 credit consumed only on a successful match; misses are FREE. Credits never expire.
diligence
get_diligence_dossier
Public-source diligence dossier for a company or entity in one cited object: who acquired it (M&A history), which funds publicly backed it, and its published engineering-acceleration signal. Use mid-diligence for 'who acquired X', 'which funds backed Y', 'what's the signal on Z'. Sources are press-release / SEC-filing / both-sides-disclosed only; returns found:false (an expected outcome, not an error) with honest notes when the entity is outside the tracked corpus, never guesses.
methodology
get_methodology
Full methodology document covering data sources, metric computation, signal classification thresholds, refresh cadence, and known limitations.
predict
predict_funding
Transparent, scored funding-likelihood claim for one tracked startup, with the full evidence chain and citable provenance. Instead of an opaque number, returns the score, every component that produced it, a confidence level, honest caveats, and links to the methodology + SSRN paper so the derivation can be cited. IS a deterministic heuristic over public GitHub engineering-acceleration signals; IS NOT an ML black box, a guarantee of any financing event, or based on private/cap-table data. The disclaimer is returned in every response. SCORING (also returned in evidence.scoreBreakdown): velocity ≤40 (saturates +300%), contributorGrowth ≤25 (saturates +200%), newRepos ≤15 (saturates 10), signalType ≤20 (Deploy frequency spike 20 / Engineering hiring burst 17 / Infrastructure buildout 14 / Framework migration 8). Total 0-100 → >=70 high, 45-69 elevated, 25-44 moderate, <25 low. PARAMETERS: { name }, display name or GitHub org slug (case-insensitive). On no match returns { found: false, suggestion } (expected, not an error).
scout
get_scout_receipts
Compute a Scout Score (0-100) for a GitHub user from their public starring history. Cross-references starred repos against ~75 validated unicorns and grades how many they starred *before* the validation event. Returns score, rank (curious/scout/sharp/elite/oracle), top early calls, personality summary, and a shareable card URL.
share
share_result
Generate a ready-to-share social-media post (tweet, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Telegram) about a result the user just received from another VC Deal Flow Signal tool, plus the install command for the MCP server. Returns the post body, character counts per platform, and one-click intent URLs to compose the post in each network. WHEN TO USE: - The user just got a `get_trending_startups` / `search_startups_by_sector` / `get_startup_signal` / `get_deep_signal` result and says 'share this', 'tweet this', 'post this', or 'how do I tell people about this?'. - The user is writing a thread/post about startup engineering signals and wants the canonical install command + share copy. DO NOT USE FOR: - Posting on the user's behalf, this tool only composes the text + intent URLs. The user must click and confirm in the destination network. - Generating fake or speculative results, pass real data the agent received from another tool call. BEHAVIOR (two-step approval flow, see `approval_token`): - Step 1: call this tool with `summary` only. The server replies with an error (-32602) containing a `/share-approve?summary=...` URL the user must open. - Step 2: the user reads the proposed summary on that page, clicks Approve, and pastes the resulting 10-minute token back into the chat. Retry the tool with `approval_token` filled in and the SAME `summary` verbatim. - The token is bound to a hash of `summary`; if the agent rewrites the summary between approval and the retry, the call is rejected. - Composes platform-specific posts (Twitter ≤275 chars, Bluesky ≤295, Mastodon ≤495, LinkedIn ≤695, Telegram ≤995) with a consistent hook + insight + install URL. - Returns intent URLs (e.g. https://x.com/intent/post?text=...) so the user/agent can open the destination network with the post pre-filled. - Always includes the canonical install command `npx @gitdealflow/mcp-signal` and the SSRN paper link for credibility. PARAMETERS: - `summary` (string, required, 10-200 chars), the one-line takeaway to share. - `approval_token` (string, required after first call), the 10-minute token returned by the /share-approve page. - `network` (string, optional), 'twitter' | 'bluesky' | 'mastodon' | 'linkedin' | 'telegram' | 'all' (default: 'all'). - `mention_handle` (boolean, optional, default false), include @sipiteno attribution (twitter/bluesky/mastodon only).
shortlist
shortlist_signals
Return a ranked shortlist of the strongest engineering-acceleration signals matching a set of filters, the whole sourcing workflow in ONE call (e.g. 'the 5 strongest signals in healthcare in the EU'). Scans the full tracked universe, scores each with the transparent engine (same scoring as predict_funding), filters, sorts by accelerationScore desc, returns the top `limit`. GEOGRAPHY IS REGION-LEVEL ONLY, values are US / EU / UK / APAC / LATAM / Canada / Unknown. City/country aliases ('NYC', 'New York', 'London', 'Berlin', 'Singapore') normalize up to the enclosing region and the response `notes` says so. There is no city-level filtering. PARAMETERS (all optional): sector (one of 20 slugs), geography (region token or alias), signalType (exact label), minAccelerationScore (0-100), minVelocityChangePct (integer percent), limit (1-25, default 5).
signals
get_signals_summary
Period, sector and startup counts, last refresh, citation, and direct URLs to every machine-readable format.
startup
get_startup_signal
Full engineering-acceleration profile for a single tracked startup, by display name or GitHub org slug. Case-insensitive, normalization-tolerant.
startups
search_startups_by_sector
Every tracked startup within a sector, ranked by engineering acceleration. Sector slug must be one of 15 enumerated values.
trending
get_trending_startups
Top 20 startups by engineering acceleration across all 15 sectors for the current weekly period. Read-only, idempotent.

GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_signals, get_deep_signal, get_diligence_dossier, get_methodology, get_scout_receipts, get_signals_summary and 6 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 GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 351 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors?
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 GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors need an API key?
No. GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors?
The npm package @gitdealflow/mcp-signal was installed 102 times in the last week. Week over week that is +67%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is GitDealFlow — GitHub signals for startup investors open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 6 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
